To provide a processing head, a processor and a processing method capable of achieving efficient washing with high quality and removing contamination in each array part individually, without contaminating other array parts arranged on the surrounding of the array part to be washed, due to leakage of a washing fluid, even when a large amount of the washing fluid is supplied to each array part which is significantly contaminated, in an analysis chip comprising a plurality of array parts.SOLUTION: There is provided a processing head for processing an analysis chip which comprises a plurality of array parts and comprises in each array part, a detection part to which many selective bonding substances coupled to a test substance are fixed. The processing head comprises processing parts which face the detection part being downward at a prescribed interval, and which are partitioned according to the array part. The processing part is a columnar block extending in a vertical direction, and a top of the block has a recess groove formed into a recess shape extending in a horizontally longitudinal direction, and a bottom of the recess groove has a supply port capable of supplying the washing fluid upward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】アレイ部が多数ある分析用チップで、汚れがはなはだしい各アレイ部に洗浄液を多く供給しても、洗浄液が漏出して周囲にある他のアレイ部を汚染することなく、個別に各アレイ部内の汚れを除去して高い品質で効率的な洗浄を実現することが可能な、処理ヘッド並びに処理装置および処理方法を提供する。【解決手段】複数のアレイ部を有し、アレイ部内に被検物質と結合する選択結合物質が多数固定化された検出部を備える分析用チップを処理する処理ヘッドであって、下向きにした検出部に所定間隔をもって対面し、かつアレイ部に対応して区画されている処理部を備え、この処理部は上下方向に延びる柱状ブロックであり、さらに前記柱状ブロックの頂上は水平長手方向に延びる凹型形状に凹型溝が形成されているとともに、前記凹型溝の底面には上向きに洗浄液を供給可能な供給口が設けられている処理ヘッド。【選択図】図１
