A droplet operation device having a substrate having a light transmissibility and subjected to a water repellent treatment, a means for supplying droplets onto the substrate, a means for transporting the droplets on the water repellent substrate, and a means for measuring the state of the droplets, comprising the light transmittable substrate ( 11 ) receiving the water repellent treatment on the surface thereof, solvent feeding ports ( 21 ), ( 22 ), and ( 23 ) for leading reagent or specimen droplets ( 51 ) onto the substrate ( 11 ), optical measuring units ( 61 ), ( 62 ), and ( 63 ), and electric field application units ( 71 ), ( 72 ), and ( 73 ), whereby the inside of the droplets can be observed with a microscope, and the results of the reaction of the droplets against the other droplets can be measured and classified by stopping and moving the droplets in any direction.
