    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor substrate capable of detecting a trace amount of an analyte. This sensor substrate according to the present disclosure is a sensor substrate comprising a metal microstructure that generates surface plasmon when irradiated with excitation light. The metal microstructure is composed of a plurality of protrusions disposed in a planar shape. The plurality of the protrusions are disposed in such a manner that imaginary lines V each passing through a center between adjacent protrusions draw a honeycomb shape in a plan view. Each of the plurality of the protrusions has a substantially hexagonal shape in the plan view. A depth in a thickness direction of the sensor substrate of a gap present between the adjacent protrusions is larger than a radius of an imaginary circle inscribed in a hexagon forming the honeycomb shape.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detection device capable of detecting a low concentration of an analyte with high sensitivity. The detection apparatus according to the present disclosure comprises a metal microstructure on which a first VHH antibody having a property of binding specifically to the analyte is immobilized and which generate surface plasmon by being irradiated with excitation light, an inlet through which a second VHH antibody and a sample that may contain an analyte are introduced, wherein the second VHH antibody has a property of binding specifically to the analyte and is labeled with a fluorescent substance, a light source for irradiating the metal microstructure to which the second VHH antibody and the sample have been introduced with the excitation light, and a detection unit for detecting the analyte on the basis of fluorescence generated from the fluorescent substance by the irradiation of the excitation light.

    Abstract: One non-limiting and exemplary embodiment provides a metal microscopic structure capable of detecting a low-concentration analyte with high sensitivity. The metal microscopic structure includes a base member including multiple protrusions arrayed at predetermined intervals, and multiple projections made of a metal film covering the base member and configured to generate surface plasmons upon irradiation with light. A film thickness of the metal film positioned in a bottom portion of a gap between every adjacent two of the multiple projections is greater than a height of the multiple protrusions and is more than or equal to 90% and less than or equal to 100% of a film thickness of the metal film deposited on top portions of the multiple protrusions.

    Abstract: A pathogen detection apparatus includes a collector that collects a pathogen in air; a reactor that causes the pathogen collected by the collector to react with a labeled substance; a time measurer that measures time from start of reaction in the reactor; a detector that detects a quantity of labeled substance that has reacted with the pathogen; and a controller. The controller calculates a gradient value on the basis of a predetermined time period from the start of reaction measured by the time measurer and the quantity of labeled substance detected by the detector, and determines, on the basis of the gradient value, a time interval to next collection that is to be performed by the collector.
