In the conventional nucleic acid analysis devices and nucleic acid analyzers, there was no technique available for sequencing a single nucleic acid molecule easily and highly efficiently. The present invention enabled a highly efficient single molecule immobilization of nucleic acid with good reproductivity in a short time at a low price by providing small metallic bonding pads at predetermined positions on a support substrate, firmly fixing a hydrophobic linker on the bonding pads, and bonding on to the linker bulky microparticles onto which a single molecule of a nucleic acid sample fragment is immobilized. According to the present invention, in the nucleic acid analysis device which uses a nucleic acid analyzer, the nucleotide read length can be extended and many types of nucleic acid molecule to be analyzed can be analyzed at one time.
A nucleic acid analysis device comprising a support substrate and microparticles having a probe molecule capable of capturing a nucleic acid to be detected, wherein each of the microparticles is immobilized separately from each other on the support substrate,
A nucleic acid analyzer for obtaining nucleotide sequence information of a nucleic acid sample, comprising:
