A biochemical analysis unit comprises a base plate, which has holes, and a
porous adsorptive material, which is filled in each of the holes and
forms each of adsorptive regions. Each of the adsorptive regions is
provided with a layer, which has pores having a comparatively small mean
pore diameter, and a layer, which has pores having a comparatively large
mean pore diameter. In cases where the layers, which constitute each of
the adsorptive regions, are connected with the layers, which constitute
an adjacent adsorptive region, at one of surfaces of the base plate, the
biochemical analysis unit further comprises a signal absorbing layer for
absorbing a signal, which passes through layers located under the base
plate and thus propagates from a certain hole toward an adjacent hole.
