The present invention provides a nucleic acid analysis method comprising amplification means, whereby amplification reaction is performed in a reaction solution comprising a homogeneous solvent and comprising at least plural template nucleic acids and solid phase carriers comprising one or more kinds of amplification probes immobilized on the surface, to prevent amplified products attributed to two or more template nucleic acids from being replicated in one solid phase carrier. According to the present invention, plural kinds of analyte nucleic acid samples in a mixed state can be amplified individually and in parallel. This method achieves one solid phase carrier-one nucleic acid. Therefore, a higher density of solid phase carriers with obtained amplified products is easily achieved, leading to improved throughput of amplified product analysis.

Thus, the polynucleotide probe chip, holding various kinds of DNA probes, for detecting DNA can be provided. This chip has high hybridization-efficiency and makes high-sensitivity and high-speed DNA detection possible.
