A present micro array manufacturing apparatus includes a substrate placement portion on which a plurality of substrates can be arranged, a tighter plate for storing a solution including a living body sample, a solution storing member for taking in the solution from the tighter plate and storing the solution therein, and a needle which can be inserted into the solution storing member to allow the solution stored in the solution storing member to adhere onto each of the substrates by a given quantity, wherein the solution storing member and needle are moved in directions where they approach and part away from the substrates to thereby form spots on the substrates. And, the individual operations of the solution storing member and needle are carried out by single drive means
