Abstract
A magnetic particle operation device comprising a tubular container having a longitudinal shape and including a sample introduction space in which a sample including a target substance and magnetic particles for immobilizing the target substance thereon are received, and a sample movement space in which a gel-like medium layer and a liquid layer are alternately arranged in its longitudinal direction. The magnetic particle operation device further comprising a first magnet provided outside the tubular container to face the sample introduction space, the first magnet configured to hold the magnetic particles in the sample introduction space in the container when the device is not used; and a second magnet configured to move the magnetic particles with the target substance being immobilized thereon, from the sample introduction space to the sample movement space, passing through the gel-like medium layer and the liquid layer in the longitudinal direction, when the device is used.
