In a nucleic acid detection cassette, a predetermined syringe is crushed to supply a sample solution to an amplification unit via a channel and the amplification unit is heated from outside to amplify sample DNA in the sample solution. The sample solution containing an amplification product is supplied to a detection unit via the channel and a hybridization reaction occurs in the detection unit. Next, another syringe is crushed and an intercalating agent solution is supplied via another predetermined channel. Therefore, a nucleic acid detection cassette capable of automation from amplification of a sample to detection of an electrochemical reaction of the sample is provided.
