This device (10) comprises: a casing (100, 600) with an upper surface including a sample-dripping portion (101) receiving a liquid sample containing nucleic acid and being dripped from a nozzle (800); a reaction tube (200): outwardly projecting from an end of the casing (100, 600); including a storage space therein; and being formed so as to be installed within a measurement apparatus (700); a filter (301) carrying the nucleic acid contained in the liquid sample; a filter-supporting body (300) stored within the casing (100, 600) to support the filter (301) in a manner such that the filter (301) is capable of taking: a contacting position wherein the filter (301) contacts with the liquid sample right below the sample-dripping portion (101); and a reaction position wherein the filter (301) is positioned within the storage space of the reaction tube (200); and absorbing material (401) capable of taking: a press-attaching position wherein the absorbing material (401) is press-attached to the filter (301) in the contacting position so that the filter (301) absorbs the liquid sample contacting therewith; and a separating position wherein the absorbing material (401) is removed from the press-attaching position so that the filter (301) is allowed to freely move.
