1. A method of manufacturing a probe carrier carrying probes of a plurality of species fixed at respective specific different positions on the carrier and adapted to be specifically bonded to a target substance, said method comprising:
- a step of forming one or more than one labeled indexes on said carrier at a position out of said specific positions, wherein each labeled index has a label that produces radiation under predetermined conditions; and
a step of applying solutions respectively containing said probes to said respective specific positions by referring to said indexes.

Abstract
A carrier having indexes in a probe non-fixing region is used and solutions containing probes are applied to respective specific positions on the carrier by referring to said indexes and fixed. The position of a target compound that is specifically bonded to a probe fixed to a probe carrier manufactured by a method according to the invention can be accurately and quickly detected by referring to the indexes.
