Abstract
An apparatus for detecting denaturation of a nucleic acid, including: denaturation condition controlling means for controlling condition of denaturation under which a double-stranded nucleic acid is separated into a first single-stranded nucleic acid and a second single-stranded nucleic acid; excitation light irradiation means for irradiating the double-stranded nucleic acid before denaturation, and the first single-stranded nucleic acid and second single-stranded nucleic acid after the denaturation; fluorescence detection means for detecting fluorescence emission based on the excitation light irradiation; and processing means for receiving, storing and processing a signal supplied from the fluorescence detection means.
