Abstract
A digital PCR measuring apparatus capable of measuring a melting curve with high accuracy is provided. The digital PCR measuring apparatus includes a temperature adjuster that controls a temperature of a sample container including a plurality of minute regions, a fluorescence measurement part that measures fluorescence intensity of a plurality of minute regions, and a controller that controls the temperature adjuster and the fluorescence measurement part. The controller controls the temperature adjuster to raise a temperature of the sample container, and, after removing air bubbles generated in the sample container, measures fluorescence intensity of a plurality of minute regions while controlling the temperature adjuster to lower the temperature of the sample container, and measures a melting curve of a plurality of the minute regions.
