An electrophoresis pattern reading system of fluorescent type is comprised of a detachable migration unit comprising a gel functioning as a base for electrophoresis and a gel-supporting body for supporting the gel; an electrophoresis unit, to which the migration unit is mounted, for performing electrophoresis by applying migrating voltage to the gel to which a sample labeled with a fluorescent substance is added; and a reading unit including an instrumentation subunit for reading an electrophoresis pattern, to which the migration unit is mounted after electrophoresis and which receives fluorescence emitted from the fluorescent substance of the sample on the gel upon application of light to the gel. For example, a plurality of the migration units and the electrophoresis units are provided, and each of the plural migration units are mounted to one reading unit in order after electrophoresis has been performed with the respective electrophoresis units for a long period of time, thereby reading the electrophoresis pattern in a short period of time.
