ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a nucleic acid analyzing apparatus which achieves highly accurate analytical ability even in single molecule DNA analysis. The nucleic acid analyzing apparatus detects locations of fluorescent bright spots in image information about light emission, deletes defective bright spots, and thereby creates intensity trace data about proper bright spots.
