ABSTRACT:
A nucleic acid detecting cassette comprises a fluid holding channel capable of varying the inner volume and holding a reagent, an inlet-outlet port connected to the fluid holding channel and capable of selecting an opened state under which the fluid injection out of the outer portion of the cassette can be achieved and a closed state under which the fluid injection can be interrupted, joining channels connected to the fluid holding channel and capable of selecting an opened state under which the fluid transfer to the other fluid holding channel can be achieved and a closed state under which the fluid transfer can be interrupted, inlet-outlet pads capable of maintaining the inlet-outlet port under a closed state, and joining pads capable of maintaining the joining channels under a closed state.
