Reaction vessel and reaction vessel holding mechanism

摘要

A reaction vessel used for a genetic test has at least one reaction liquid containing section for containing a reaction liquid. The reaction liquid containing section has an upper well opening in an upper surface of the reaction vessel, a lower well located under the upper well, and a flow path communicating an external space with the lower well. The reaction vessel further has a reaction section disposed between the upper well and the lower well. The reaction section has a nucleic acid probe fixed to bones of a porous member. The upper well opening in the upper surface of the reaction vessel enables optical observation of the reaction section from above the reaction vessel.
