角方向に移動させられる。The sample is dyed with four types of fluorescent dyes, and in a mixed state is simultaneously migrated along a plurality of lanes from the upper end of the electrophoresis gel 7o. In order to detect DNA fragments during electrophoresis, a multi-wavelength simultaneous oscillation laser 72 is used as an excitation light source, and one specific wavelength from the laser 72 is switched by a filter and irradiated onto the electrophoresis gel 70. The fluorescence from each dye of the DNA fragment being electrophoresed in the electrophoresis gel 70 is measured in a time-divided manner by one photomultiplier tube 76 by switching the interference filters 74 having different transmission wavelengths. Switching of the filter on the excitation light side and switching of the interference filter 74 on the light receiving side are performed synchronously. In order to detect DNA fragments migrating in a plurality of lanes, the irradiation position with excitation light is moved in a direction perpendicular to the lanes by scanning the excitation light beam.
