ABSTRACT:
A polynucleotide capturing support for capturing, eluting and collecting a plurality of target polynucleotides in a sample solution. The polynucleotide capturing support includes a substrate having a plane surface and a plurality of cells which immobilize individually different probes complementary to a plurality of target polynucleotides, and form at different regions on said plane surface of said substrate. The support includes a plurality of first electrodes which supply an electric field to each of the cells. The first electrodes are capable of eluting the target polynucleotides hybridized to the probes from each of the cells individually. The support also includes a plurality of second electrodes arranged between the adjacent cells on the surface of the substrate, and an electrode field is supplied to each of the second electrodes. A means for switching an electric field is provided for and applied to at least one of the first electrodes thereby effecting the elution and separation of the target polynucleotides. The target polynucleotides hybridize with the probes when the sample solution contacts the surface of the substrate.
