Original Abstract Submitted

In order to provide an electrophoresis device requiring no realignment of the optical axis of excitation light with the capillary array even if the outer diameter of the capillary may change, the electrophoresis device includes: a capillary array including a planar arrangement of capillaries used for electrophoresis of a sample; an excitation light source that applies excitation light along an arrangement direction of the capillaries; a fluorescence measuring unit that measures fluorescence induced from the capillary array; a reference member on which the capillary array is arranged; and a capillary mounting stand having a window through which the excitation light passes, and being to be abutted against the reference member. The reference member has a step that is set based on outer diameters of the capillaries.
