To provide a method and an apparatus for detecting DNA mutation without using electrophoresis, the presence or absence of specific sequence is detected by a method comprising a step of serially hybridizing a 5-base-long to 8-base-long short oligomer 6, which is capable of being engaged in the complementary strand extension reaction, and a long oligomer 61, which is capable of hybridizing with a target DNA but incapable of being engaged in the complementary strand extension reaction, with the target DNA 63; a step of carrying out the complementary strand extension reaction 66 starting from the short primer using four kinds of nucleic acid substrates and polymerase; and a step of detecting photo-emission, in which pyrophosphate 68 produced as a reaction by-product of the complementary strand extension reaction is converted into ATP and the photo-emission reaction is carried out using an enzyme.

A wireless sensor chip suitable for the compact, high-sensitive, and low-cost examination apparatus for easily examining a biological material such as gene at low cost is provided. A sensor chip is formed on an SOI substrate, and an n type semiconductor layer on which a pMOS transistor is formed and a p type semiconductor layer on which an nMOS transistor is formed are isolated by a pn junction. Therefore, the p type semiconductor layer at the outermost portion (chip edge portion to be in contact with solution) is set to floating, and the maximum potential and the minimum potential of the chip are supplied to an n type semiconductor layer and a p type semiconductor layer inside the outermost portion, respectively. Also, the chip is covered with an ion impermeable insulating film for reducing the penetration of positive ions through the oxide layer.
