Probe carrier and method of manufacturing the same

A flat plate-shaped probe carrier for carrying probes such as single stranded DNAs, proteins, etc. which are reactive specifically with target substances comprises a plurality of ring bodies arranged substantially in parallel and the external space among the ring bodies is filled with a filler such that the openings of the ring bodies are oriented to the surface of the probe carrier. Each ring body has a region for fixing a probe adapted to be bonded specifically to a target substance on its inner wall. The probe carrier is produced by bundling a plurality of hollow tubular members in parallel, then filling the external space among the bundled hollow members with a filler, and cutting the bundle along a plane intersecting the axial direction of the tubular members. Probes are fixed to the fixing region before or after filling the external space.
