In order to control bubble removal or mixing in a flow channel, bubble
transfer between flow channels (1, 2) is controlled by disposing first
flow channel (1) for flow of a first fluid of liquid or gas and second
flow channel (2) for flow of a second fluid of liquid with, interposed
therebetween, gas exchange unit (5) through which while no liquid can
pass, a gas component can be transferred, and by providing a pressure
difference between the flow channels (1, 2) with the gas exchange unit
(5). By rendering the pressure of the second flow channel (2) higher than
that of the first flow channel (1), any bubble transfer from the first
fluid to the second fluid is prevented, or bubbles within the second
fluid are transferred into the first fluid to thereby attain deaeration.
