    Abstract: A method for detecting the presence or absence of heteroploidy of fetal chromosomes includes: obtaining a primary amplification products by amplifying chromosomal DNA obtained from a biological sample collected from a pregnant mother; performing multiplex amplification of a plurality of target regions to obtain a secondary amplification product using the primary amplification product as a template; adding a label to both terminals of the secondary amplification product to obtain the labeled secondary amplification product; performing amplification using a primer pair annealing to the label using the labeled secondary amplification product as a template to obtain a tertiary amplification product; and determining the amplification amount and base sequences of the plurality of target regions from the tertiary amplification product. The primary amplification amplifies the total amount of DNA by 6000 to 30000 times, and the secondary amplification step amplifies the total amount of DNA by 3 to 150 times.

    Abstract: In a container including two accommodation parts each accommodating liquid, mixing of the liquids in a case of moving magnetic particles in the liquid accommodated in one accommodation part to the other accommodation part is suppressed. Provided is a container includes a first accommodation part which accommodates a first liquid containing magnetic particles, a second accommodation part which accommodates separated magnetic particles separated from the first liquid, and a second liquid, and a flow passage which allows the first accommodation part and the second accommodation part to communicate with each other, and through which the separated magnetic particles pass, in which the flow passage has a first staircase part including two or more steps from an inner bottom surface of the first accommodation part on a first accommodation part side.
