<p>Provided are: a nucleic acid amplification device comprising a support base which has multiple temperature-controlling blocks held on the outer periphery thereof and a secondary cooling mechanism which serves as a temperature-controlling unit for controlling the temperature of the support base, wherein the secondary cooling mechanism has excellent temperature control stability, has a reduced size, requires a reduced power consumption and generates a reduced amount of exhaust heat; and a nucleic acid testing device equipped with the nucleic acid amplification device. A nucleic acid amplification device for amplifying a nucleic acid in a reaction solution prepared by mixing a sample with a reagent, wherein the nucleic acid amplification device is equipped with multiple temperature-controlling blocks (10) which are arranged on a support base (4) and on which at least one of reaction containers (105) is held, and wherein the reaction containers (105) are installed continuously, and the order of the arrangement of the temperature-controlling blocks (10) for which the controlling of the temperatures thereof are to be initiated or the timing of the initiation of the controlling of the temperatures of the temperature-controlling blocks (10) is controlled for the purpose of minimizing the unevenness of temperature in the support base (4).</p> |
