Abstract

An apparatus and a method for arraying beads that allow a bead array having been difficult in mass production to be manufactured easily and accurately are provided. Beads are once arrayed in a separate container using an inclined bead array apparatus while controlling the number of beads to be inserted simply by the use of a bead control rod. When the whole arraying is completed, the arrayed beads are transferred onto a plate for use in an actual reaction.
