The present invention is directed to a reaction vessel (100) used for a genetic test, and the reaction vessel (100) has at least one reaction liquid containing section for containing a reaction liquid. The reaction liquid containing section has an upper well (152) opening in an upper surface of the reaction vessel (100), a lower well (112) located under the upper well (152), and a flow path (114) communicating an external space with the lower well (112). The reaction vessel (100) further has a reaction section (132) disposed between the upper well (152) and the lower well (112). The reaction section (132) has a nucleic acid probe fixed to bones of a porous member. The upper well (152) opening in the upper surface of the reaction vessel (100) enables optical observation of the reaction section (132) from above the reaction vessel (100).
