The substrate 100 for use in the analysis of a nucleic acid according to the present invention has multiple analysis areas 12 which are partitioned on a substrate 10, and enables the measurement of the analysis areas 12 while interchanging the analysis areas 12 in turn, said substrate 100 being characterized in that each of the analysis areas 12 consists of an adsorption part 13 onto which a DNA fragment or a carrier having the DNA fragment carried thereon can be adsorbed and a non-adsorption part 14 which is a part outside of the adsorption part 13, and the non-adsorption part 14 has, formed on at least a part thereof, a marker part 15 that has a specified shape and helps to identify the positions of the analysis areas 12.
