(57) [Summary] (with correction) [PROBLEMS] To automate the hybridization step requiring the longest time and a large experimental space in nucleic acid detection with extremely simple operation, and at the same time, to reduce the size of the entire apparatus. SOLUTION: A denacher 1 having a reaction vessel holder and a heating / cooling device, an annealing section 2 having a reaction vessel holder and a heating / cooling device, a reaction vessel holder and a magnetic force control device are provided. Equipped with a magnetic separation unit 3 provided, a chip rack storage unit 4 provided with a chip rack 11, a cleaning liquid unit 6 provided with a cleaning liquid storage container, a waste liquid unit 5 provided with a waste liquid storage container, and a plurality of chip nozzles. And It has a mechanism for attaching and detaching the chip to and from the chip nozzle, a mechanism for sucking and injecting the processing liquid by the attached chip, and a robot hand mechanism capable of freely holding and detaching the reaction vessel. , And a head unit 8 including an arm unit that is freely movable in the XZ axis direction. |
