PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable fluid analysis cartridge which simplifies a design, improves manufacturability, and enhances reliability and function. A disposable fluid analysis cartridge 204 includes a fluid analysis chip for receiving a fluid to be analyzed, the fluid analysis chip is attached to a fluid preparation unit of the disposable fluid analysis cartridge, and the fluid analysis chip includes a base layer. The fluid analysis chip includes a spacer layer that covers the base layer, the spacer layer contains microchannels formed therein, and the microchannels guide the flow of the fluid to be analyzed within the fluid analysis chip. The fluid analysis chip includes a cap layer arranged to cover the spacer layer, which includes inlets and outlets for establishing fluid communication with the microchannel. The interface layer, which is arranged to cover the cap layer, is configured to attach the fluid analysis chip to the fluid preparation unit of the disposable fluid analysis cartridge.
