A thermal cycling reaction apparatus comprises a reactor having a reactor body made of a thin heat-conductive plate having a cavity as a reaction chamber with an opening of the chamber sealed with a transparent heat-resistant sheet. The apparatus further includes, delivery rollers for delivering the reactor along a delivery path and stopping it at stopping positions in a predetermined order; plural temperature-controlling blocks having respectively a temperature-controlling surface to be brought into contact with a heat-transfer face of the reactor and being placed at the stopping positions separately so as not to thermally affect each other; and a temperature-controlling mechanism for keeping the fixed temperature-controlling surfaces respectively at prescribed temperatures.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A reactor for a thermal cycling reaction, the reactor being able to be delivered along a delivery path having plural and separate temperature-controlling blocks fixed thereon, each of said temperature controlling blocks respectively having a fixed temperature-controlling surface of a prescribed area at a controlled temperature, the reactor being capable of repeatedly contacting successively in a predetermined order with a selected temperature controlling block, said reactor comprising a reactor body being in a shape of a plate, said reactor body having a heat-transferring area on at least one face of the plate to be brought into face-to-face contact with the respective temperature-controlling surfaces, said reactor body further having a cavity which forms a reaction chamber, said cavity having an opening on at least one face of the plate, wherein a heat-resistant sealing sheet for sealing the reaction chamber covers the opening of the chamber;wherein the reactor further comprises a delivery-assisting member which carries the reactor body, said delivery-assisting member being composed of a poor heat-conductive material, the reactor body and the delivery-assisting member being formed in a plate shape.
