程はより煩雑な物となり、もはや人間の手に負える状況
でなくなってきている。Among the above steps, the reactions up to the step of preparing the single-stranded DNA and immobilizing it on the treated membrane were initially performed manually in the laboratory. This manual method involves multiple repeated liquid handling steps and incubations at controlled temperatures. These reaction processes require a lot of time and complicated handling. Moreover, the resulting low reproducibility not only results in the loss of reagents and labor, but also the loss of valuable NA, complicating subsequent research and risking erroneous genetic diagnoses. In addition, in hybridization reactions using probes labeled with non-radioactive substances, which have recently been attracting attention from the viewpoint of safety, convenience, and low cost, it is especially important to improve the purity of DNA in order to compensate for the sensitivity. There is an increasing need to improve Therefore, new processing has to be added in addition to conventional processing, making the entire process more complicated, and it is no longer possible for humans to handle it.
