Abstract
A nucleic acid amplifier comprises a holderwhich is provided with a plurality of temperature control blockseach designed to hold at least one reaction vesselstoring a reaction solution. The temperature of the reaction solution in each reaction vesselis controlled individually by using temperature control devicesandarranged in each of the temperature control blocks. The temperature that is set in each temperature control blockand the timing for temperature changes are controlled independently of the temperatures of other temperature control blocks. This configuration makes it possible to provide a nucleic acid amplifier and a nucleic acid inspection device (employing the nucleic acid amplifier) capable of processing multiple types of samples differing in the protocol in parallel (parallel processing) and starting a process for a different sample even when there is a process in execution.
