ABSTRACT:
A cartridge adaptable to various measurement forms is provided. A sample is injected into a well via an injection path. When a roller while kept pressed into contact with the cartridge is rotated rightward, the sample held in the well, and liquid solvent held in a well are caused to reach a well via flow paths, respectively, thereby mixing the sample with the liquid solvent. A mixed liquid is branched into flow paths, respectively, to thereby reach wells, respectively, and reagents pre-held in wells, respectively, are caused to flow into the wells, respectively. Next, temperatures in the wells, respectively, are controlled, thereby executing DNA amplification. Then, PCR by-products as amplified in the wells, respectively, are transferred as far as a position in the vicinity of an electrode via flow paths. Subsequently, a voltage is applied across the electrode as a negative electrode, and an electrode as a positive electrode via a drawing electrode and a drawing electrode, to thereby cause the PCR by-products to undergo electrophoresis.
