Abstract:
1. An analyzing apparatus comprising: (a) a detection unit formed as a cassette and which detects a target base sequence in a sample solution on the basis of a reaction between the target base sequence in the sample solution and a probe base sequence, the detection unit including: (b) a main apparatus on which the detection unit is attachably provided, the main apparatus including: the main apparatus further comprising: (i) a measurement unit which applies a voltage between the working electrode and the counter electrode and detects an electrochemical reaction signal from the working and the counter electrodes the measurement unit including: (ii) a temperature control unit which controls a temperature of the detection unit; (iii) a control unit which controls the supply unit, the discharge unit, the measurement unit, and the temperature control unit; (iv) a memory unit which stores the electrochemical reaction signal as measurement data; and (v) a processing unit which processes the measurement data to determine the target base sequence.
