Therefore, in the present invention, in order to satisfactorily hold the droplets inside the protruding enclosure, at least the inner surface of the protruding enclosure is a surface having a contact angle with respect to pure water of 90 to 150 °.
- the contact angle with pure water varies depending on the material (material) forming the surface and the surface condition (for example, surface roughness, surface shape, etc.). Even if the material is the same, if the surface condition (for example, surface roughness, surface shape, etc.) is different, the contact angle with pure water also changes.

- a reagent having a surface tension reducing action include lipoproteins such as surfactants and lung surfactant proteins, and serum containing a large amount of serum albumin and lipoprotein.
- surfactants there are various types of surfactants, and they can be used as a surface tension reducing reagent regardless of the type. Although illustrated below, these are merely examples and are not intended to be limited to these exemplified surfactants.
- Anionic surfactant fatty acid sodium, monoalkyl sulfate
- Cationic surfactant alkyl polyoxyethylene sulfate, alkylbenzene sulfonate, monoalkyl phosphate
- Amphoteric surfactant Agents alkyltrimethylammonium salt, dialkyldimethylammonium salt, alkylbenzyldimethylammonium salt, alkyldimethylamine oxide, alkylcarboxybetaine,
- Nonionic surfactants Polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, fatty acid sorbitan esters, alkyl polyglucosides, fatty acid diethanolamides, alkyl monoglyceryl ether anionic surfactants are typically exemplified by lithium

- Heating and / or cooling devices can be provided on the opposite surface.
- the reaction jig is preferably used with the surface having a protruding enclosure facing downward.
- the liquid droplets contained in the protruding enclosure become a hanging drop.
- the reaction method is carried out in such a state, since the vapor is light and tends to evaporate upward, if the droplet is in a hanging drop shape, evaporation can be suppressed. As a result, even in an open system, evaporation is considerably suppressed at room temperature.
- the surface having the protruding enclosure of the reaction jig is accommodated in the covering member, or the surface having the protruding enclosure of the reaction jig is installed in the covering member containing the moisturizing member. By doing so, evaporation of water from the droplets can be further prevented. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the evaporation of moisture from the droplets without using oil as described in Non-Patent Document 1. If no oil is used, even a very small amount of reaction liquid such as several microliters does not adhere to the pipette, so that there is an advantage that the addition and recovery of the solution can be easily performed at any time.
- the reaction jig and the inside formed by the covering member are reacted before and during the reaction. It is preferable to heat to 30 to 40 ° C., for example, within a range that does not affect the above. This is because the water vapor generated by heating condenses on the substrate surface to form fine droplets, and has the effect of smooth movement of the magnetic beads from the droplets. In particular, when a reagent having a relatively low surface tension reducing ability (specifically, a reagent other than a surfactant) is used, this heating has an advantage that the movement of the magnetic beads becomes smoother. Further, from the viewpoint of promoting the condensation of water vapor on the substrate surface, the reaction jig covered with the covering member can be cooled, for example, operated in a relatively low temperature room.
- Another advantage of making the droplet into a hanging drop is that stirring of the magnetic beads in the droplet is promoted.
- the magnet is moved away from the substrate, the magnetic beads in the droplet attracted by the magnet fall to the hanging drop-shaped droplet bottom due to gravity, and the magnet is brought into contact with the substrate again, so that the magnetic beads are removed from the droplet bottom. Collect on the substrate surface.
- This operation can increase the efficiency of magnetic bead washing and enzyme reaction.
- the magnetic beads can be attracted and dropped in a hanging drop-like droplet by a magnet one time or a plurality of times.
- the particle size of the magnetic beads can be, for example, in the range of 0.01 ⁇ m to 2 mm, preferably in the range of 0.1 ⁇ m to 0.1 mm.
- the particle size of the magnetic beads is reduced to a nano size, it may be difficult to enter (carry in) the droplet. In that case, penetration into the droplet can be facilitated by using magnetic beads having a larger particle size as a carrier.
- the beads used in combination as the carrier do not immobilize the substance, but carrier beads immobilized with the substance can also be used in combination.
- a substance that is an object to be treated by the reaction method of the present invention is immobilized on the surface of the magnetic beads.
- the substance can be immobilized by a conventional method.
- nucleic acids DNA, RNA, etc.
- This method can be applied to continuous large-scale and trace reactions of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, glycoconjugates, and chemicals, and can also be used for immunostaining of immobilized cells (1 to a dozen). .
- the amount of immobilization of a substance that is an object to be subjected to a reaction process with respect to magnetic beads can be appropriately determined in consideration of the kind of substance and the kind of reaction.

5'-RACE用cDNA作成
以下に記載するプロトコルに従って5'-RACE用cDNAを作成した。
mRNA結合性磁気ビーズ(25μg)を含む細胞溶解液3μlにBリンパ球1から100個を加え溶解させ、細胞から放出されたmRNAをmRNA結合性磁気ビーズ上に捕捉する。

磁気ビーズが液滴底部に落下した後、上記の操作と同様に小型ネオジム磁石をB行のmRNA洗浄用液滴の中心部に1秒間静置させ、次にC行の逆転写反応用洗浄液滴へ移動させる。
逆転写反応
D行の逆転写反応用液滴に磁気ビーズを移動させた後、プレートは反転させたまま、37~50℃の保温装置に入れ1時間保温する。この間10分ごとにプレートを反転または前後左右に傾け磁気ビーズを液滴中で撹拌させ十分な酵素反応を行わせる。
磁気ビーズの洗浄を行う。
