摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method and means for analyzing biomolecules that can realize, in biomolecule analysis, a wide dynamic range attained by counting the number of biomolecules and rapid analysis. The present invention relates to a method for analyzing biomolecules, comprising the steps of: immobilizing biomolecules 101 to be analyzed on surfaces of magnetic microparticles 108; reacting labeled probe molecules 104 with the biomolecules 101 to be analyzed; collecting and immobilizing the microparticles 108 on a support substrate 110; and measuring a label on the support substrate 110. Since single-molecule immobilized magnetic microparticles are used in the present invention, the number of biomolecules can be counted, and since hybridization and an antigen-antibody reaction are performed with the microparticles having biomolecules immobilized thereon dispersed, the reaction can be rapidly performed. Further, the type and the abundance of biomolecules of interest can be determined at a single molecular level, so as to evaluate, in particular, the absolute concentration of biomolecules.

Provided is a technology such that, in nucleic acid analysis, a high degree of freedom in loading or unloading a reaction plate can be obtained and a sample can be efficiently analyzed. A reaction plate assembly includes a reaction plate with one or more reaction wells, a visible light transmissive cover mounted on the reaction plate and covering the reaction wells, and a visible light transmissive weight member covering the cover. The reaction wells are disposed in an arc shape along the circumference of a circle with a predetermined radius r1.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a convenient method for nucleic acid analysis, which enables 1000 or more types of nucleic acid to be analyzed collectively with high comprehensiveness and with a dynamic range of at least four digits. In particular, provide is a very effective analytical method especially for untranslated RNAs and microRNAs, of which the types of target nucleic acids is 10000 or lower. The present invention enables nucleic acids to be analyzed conveniently and rapidly with high comprehensiveness and quantitative performance at single-molecule sensitivity and resolution by following the steps of: preparing a group of target nucleic acid fragments one molecule at a time and hybridizing the nucleic acid molecules, which have known base sequences and have been labeled with the fluorescence substances, with the group of the target nucleic acid fragments to detect the fluorescence substances labeling the hybridized nucleic acid molecules.
