The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method whereby error and performance deterioration in a temperature adjustment unit can be detected, including identification of the location of the cause, in a state in which a nucleic acid amplification process is being undertaken. In order to achieve said purpose, this method finds an initial value for the volume of control signals input to a temperature adjustment element during preliminary temperature maintenance, during temperature increase, and during temperature decrease. Errors (malfunctions, performance deterioration) in the temperature adjustment unit are diagnosed and components causing said errors are identified, by comparing current control signal volumes and threshold values monitored in a state in which the nucleic acid amplification process is being undertaken. |
