PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for detecting nucleic acids useful when the detection of the many species of nucleic acids handling a plurality of samples is readily carried out with a high accuracy in simple equipment, and a container for detecting the nucleic acids. SOLUTION: This apparatus for detecting the nucleic acids is equipped with a nucleic acid-immobilized electrode in which nucleic acid probes are immobilized on a conductor, a plurality of containers for bringing the nucleic acid probes into contact with a test substance, a counter electrode installed at the base or the inner surface of each container and an electric circuit for applying a voltage across the nucleic acid-immobilized electrode and the counter electrode. The nucleic acid-immobilized electrode is inserted into each container in which the test substance is poured to detect the nucleic acids having a specific sequence while electrically controlling the reaction using the counter electrode at the base of the container.
