Un système d'essai d'acide nucléique comprend un composant de puce pour chaque spécimen doté d'éléments d'acheminement de réactifs et de liquides, et un composant de commande/détection constituant le corps principal dudit appareil d'essai et séparé dudit composant de puce. Comme ce système présente une partie de prétraitement de spécimen conçu pour réaliser un prétraitement par extraction d'un acide nucléique provenant du spécimen et par concentration dudit acide nucléique, la substance cible peut être concentrée, même lors de l'utilisation d'un échantillon dilué, parallèlement à l'élimination simultanée d'une substance nocive interférant avec la réaction et de contaminants provoquant un blocage dans une voie. En outre, ce système présente une telle constitution de voie, qu'il permet l'analyse simultanée d'un témoin positif et d'un témoin négatif. Du fait de sa constitution, ce système ne présente guère de problèmes graves de microanalyse ou d'amplification, par exemple, de contamination croisée et de contamination rémanente.
