Provided are a double-cavity micro-fluidic chip having a reaction cavity and a test cavity and used for nucleic acid test, and a test method thereof. A fluid channel is provided between the reaction cavity and the test cavity, and only one exhaust channel is provided. The combination of the fluid channel and the exhaust channel can automatically provide resistance for a sample entering the test cavity from the reaction cavity, thereby achieving a controllable transfer of the sample between the reaction cavity and the test cavity. A gravity micro-fluidic chip and a centrifugal micro-fluidic chip are designed. The gravity micro-fluidic chip has a multi-turning circuitous fluid channel of which the diameter is smaller than that of a sample injection channel, such that under the action of gravity, the sample can flow into a reaction cavity from a sample adding region but cannot flow into the fluid channel, and then under pressurization by a simple pressurization device, the sample can enter a test cavity from the reaction cavity.
