Abstract

The present invention provides a hybridization device, case, support and labeling reagent which can enhance the efficiency of the hybridization reaction, save more time for the reaction and improve the detection sensitivity.A case (1) comprises: a metal support (2) made of platinum-covered titanium and having probe DNA immobilized thereon; counter electrodes (2a) and (2b) for applying a voltage between the metal support (2); a cap (3); and a filler port (23).As a result, a hybridization reaction can be performed in an efficient manner in a short time. In addition an electrogenerated chemiluminescent substance may be used for detection.
