Patent ID: 6977149

Claim:
A biochemical reaction detection apparatus, comprising; a first membrane of no more than 20 μm thick; a heat draining layer shaped in a mesh having spaces provided on one side of said first membrane; a plurality of islands provided on one said of said first membrane, each space of the mesh having at least one of said plurality of islands being formed therein; probe cells for immobilizing probes for detecting biochemical reactions, each of said probe cells being provided on a side opposite to said one side of said first membrane corresponding to one of the islands directly through a cross section of the first membrane; and a cover placed on top of the probe cells for accommodating a sample solution layer between the cover and said side opposite to said one side of said first membrane covering all of the probe cells, wherein said islands are spaced from each other with intervals filled with air, and each of the islands includes a temperature controller for heating and temperature-controlling a corresponding one of said probe cells independently so that temperature of the sample solution is controlled independently probe cell by probe cell.
