[PROBLEMS] To provide a device capable of coordinating a series of operations from extraction, purification, and analysis of a nucleic acid from a sample containing the nucleic acid to writing and reading of information, which can be realized on a miniaturized scale, and to use the device. To provide a way. Kind Code: A1 A means for holding magnetically responsive particles having ferromagnetic particles and silica in contact with a liquid sample containing nucleic acids, and (b) applying a magnetic field to separate the magnetically responsive particles from the liquid sample. (C) means for separating nucleic acids from magnetically responsive particles by applying an electric field, (d) means for analyzing nucleic acids, (e) processing by means (a) to (d) above. And a method for analyzing a nucleic acid using the device, which comprises means for performing a process of communicating at least information necessary for performing the method in a non-contact manner.
