- This chamber is formed of the DNA microarray prepared in Example 2, a polycarbonate spacer, and a cover made of glass with small holes (borosilicate glass).
- the spacer has a sheet-like form having a hole that can form a cavity with a predetermined depth by dividing the surface of the region where the probe is fixed into an oval shape.
- the cover closes the opening of the cavity formed on the array and has a small hole for supplying the hybrid liquid positioned at both ends of the long diameter of the cavity.
- the spacer is integrated with the substrate on which the probe is fixed, and the cover with a small hole is integrated so as to cover the opening of the cavity, so that it is noblyzed at both ends along the major axis direction of the cavity.

It is configured. Using the thus configured chamber, hybridization was performed by the following method, and then numerical analysis was performed after fluorescence measurement.
- Example 4 Evaluation of hybridization using the hybridization apparatus described in Example 4
- This example is an example in which the improvement of the fluorescence signal when hybridized using the hybrid device manufactured in Example 4 was evaluated. That is, in this example, using the hybrid device of Example 4, the sample 1 (unlabeled ALDH2 gene major sequence sample) solution prepared in Example 3 was used for 16 hours while satisfying the hybrid device's capability. The mixture was allowed to stand at 42 ° C for hybridization, and the fluorescence signal of the hybridization product in probe 1 was measured and evaluated. As a control, spot the same sample DNA solution on the DNA microarray prepared in Example 3 (200 ⁇ 1, spot shape: a circle with a diameter of about 100 ⁇ m), cover it with a cover glass, 16 hr, 42 ° C.
- FIG. 7 shows the device, process and characteristics of the control of this example, and Table 4 shows the combinations of evaluation, evaluation of fluorescence and fluorescence signal. Fluorescence measurement was performed using a biochip reader (Applied Precision). The results are also shown in FIG.

According to this result, it was clear that the hybridization efficiency can be improved by using the hybrid device manufactured in Example 4. Compared with Control Example 5, Example 5 did not require a step from hybridization to fluorescence measurement, so the time required for washing and drying (approximately 2 hours) could be shortened.
- Example 5 detection of an ALDH2 gene sample was evaluated without labeling with a Cy3 fluorescent reagent or the like.
- the hybrid device of Example 4 was used to hybridize the unlabeled sample DNA solution (samples 1 to 3) prepared in Example 3. The signal was redided, and the fluorescence signal normality (CV) between the spots of the same probe as the fluorescent signal of the hybridized product was evaluated.

- the CV of the fluorescent signal between spots of the same probe was reduced by 6-8% to less than 5%, and the result was that the reliability of sample detection was improved. From the above, it has been proved that stirring the hybridization solution in the cavity improves the efficiency of the hybridization and the detection accuracy.
- the detection of an ALDH2 gene sample by a probe having a different fluorescent base for internal standard detection in the constant region sequence of an oligoriboribonucleotide containing a fluorescent base for detecting a mutation site of the ALDH2 gene was evaluated. It is an example.
- the unlabeled long-chain DNA sample solution species described in the preparation of the sample DNA prepared in Example 3 (Sample 7: ALDH2 gene) was applied to the hybrid device of Example 4.
- the agitated solution supplied to the hybridizer cavity is agitated by rotating the abbreviated device.
- the intensity of the fluorescent base signal for internal standard detection is approximately constant.
- the fluorescent base signal for detecting the mutation site changed almost corresponding to the presence or absence of the mutation in samples 7-9. It was found that the ratio of the fluorescent base signal for mutation site detection to the fluorescent base signal intensity for internal standard detection corresponds to the ratio of the mutation sites in samples 7 to 9 (major homo, minor homo, hetero). From the above, it was found that the base-identifying fluorescent nucleobase introduced into the constant region used in probe 3 can be used as an internal standard signal.
- the probe having a base-discriminating fluorescent nucleobase for internal standard detection regardless of variations in the amount of sample supplied to the array, variations in the amount of label, and variations in the amount of DNA for each gene, The relative amount of the target site can be detected. Therefore, in order to detect a mutated gene, the ability to evaluate using two types of probes, a major type (eg, probe 1) probe and a minor type (eg, probe 6) probe, is usually used. According to this example, it was found that mutant genes can be easily detected with one type of probe and without the influence of mishybridization.
