[Object] To provide a method of purifying nucleic acids where the operation is simple and the nucleic acids can be extracted in a short time with high efficiency. [Solving Means] A method of purifying nucleic acids including the step of adsorbing substances in a sample containing nucleic acids with an ion exchange resin 10 including a positive ion exchange resin and a negative ion exchange resin. As the positive ion exchange resin, a first positive ion exchange resin and a second positive ion exchange resin having an exclusion limit molecular weight lower than that of the first positive ion exchange resin may be used.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microbead analysis method capable of highly accurately detecting fluorescence from a fluorescent material or the like used for labeling a target substance without requiring complicated preparation processes by excluding the effects of noise fluorescence caused by an identification pattern. SOLUTION: A microbead 1 is formed in a columnar shape comprising an upper surface 11 and a lower surface 12 opposed to each other approximately in parallel with each other and sides 13 continuous to these surfaces. The identification pattern is formed at least in either the upper surface 11 or the lower surface 12, and a solid phase of a substance having affinity to a substance to be detected is formed in the surface of the microbead 1. Fluorescence to be detected in the surface of the microbead 1 on the basis of the interaction between the substance to be detected and the substance having affinity to the substance to be detected is detected from a region including both of a region 112 in which the identification pattern is not formed among the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 and the sides 13 in the microbead analysis method.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell for testing, capable of preventing microbeads from overlapping. SOLUTION: A cell 1 for testing microbeads is arranged in a housing space 39 so that the microbeads 7 are not overlapped each other because the distance between a support substrate 11 and a cover 21 is greater than the thickness D of the microbeads 7 and smaller than twice the thickness D of the microbeads 7. Thus, the cell 1 for testing the microbeads normally picks up respective images of the microbeads 7 and keeps a high analysis accuracy. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
