Abstract: To provide a PCR method utilizing electrostatic transportation which allows separate control of individual DNA-containing droplets by accurately transporting the droplets, suitably controlling the temperature thereof and allowing a primer to react therewith; a hybridization method utilizing electrostatic transportation which allows rapid and easy detection of hybridization; and devices therefor. A biological sample (droplets containing DNA and primer) (9) is prepared in a chemically inert liquid layer (8), is electrostatically transported by the action of an electrostatic transportation plate (1) with electrostatic transportation electrodes (2) and is heated at a predetermined position of the electrostatic transportation plate (1), thus carrying out PCR.
