Abstract:
The present invention provides a sandwich assay for quantifying a glycoprotein, which is a substance to be detected, in a sample using a labeled lectin, wherein the effect attributed to a contaminant, namely noise on the quantified value of the substance to be detected, is suppressed by introduction of a simple treatment. The sandwich assay includes a treatment for inhibiting the binding of the labeled lectin to a sugar chain carried by the contaminant non-specifically adsorbed to the measurement region, which contaminant is contained in the sample and which sugar chain is the same as that of the substance to be detected.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence analysis device and a surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence measurement method which use GC-SPFS and make it possible to detect a substance to be detected with high sensitivity. This surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence measurement device has: a light source for irradiating the diffraction grating of a chip with excited light; a polarizer for removing linearly polarized light from fluorescent light emitted from a fluorescent substance on the diffraction grating; and a photodetector for detecting the linearly polarized light removed by the polarizer.
