摘要:
A target substance detecting method employs a detecting chip equipped with a fine flow channel. Examinations, in which clogging of the flow channel and inhibition of immune reactions can be easily and expediently prevented without preliminary processes, are enabled to be performed without fluctuations in hemolysis rates. The detecting chip having a flow channel base having the flow channel and a detecting portion formed in the flow channel is employed. A liquid sample that may contain a target substance and contains cellular non target substances is caused to flow into the flow channel. An ultrasonic wave emitting section provided upstream of the detecting portion emits ultrasonic waves into the liquid sample from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the flow channel such that a standing wave is generated within the flow channel.

The sensing apparatus includes a measuring light emission device, a waveguide member including a sensing surface modified by a surface modification substance, a detection device and an analyzer. The measuring light of a predetermined polarized state is emitted from the emission device so that the measuring light is totally reflected on the sensing surface of the waveguide member holding target substances labeled by fine metal particles to illuminate the particles by evanescent light generated near the sensing surface. The amount of evanescent light scattered by the fine metal particles is detected by the detection device. The measuring light emission device, the waveguide member and the analyzer are included in an optical waveguide system which sets a polarized state of scattered light generated when no target substance is present on the sensing surface in a crossed nicol relation to the analyzer.

In a detection method for detecting the quantity of a target material, a labeled binding material in the amount corresponding to the quantity of the target material contained in a liquid specimen is bonded to the top of a sensor portion; and a signal based on light emitted from a label in an evanescent field or an enhanced optical field produced on a surface of the sensor portion when the sensor portion is irradiated with excitation light is detected. After the labeled binding material is bonded to the immobilization layer, the signal is detected while the fluid over the sensor portion is controlled to flow at a constant flow rate at which bonds between the labeled binding material and the immobilization layer are not broken and the above signal can be detected with a greater magnitude than when the liquid specimen exists over the sensor portion at rest.

A sensor chip including a sensor portion that has at least a metal layer deposited on a surface of a dielectric plate is used. A fluorescent-label binding-substance in an amount corresponding to the amount of a detection target substance in a liquid sample binds onto the sensor-portion. The amount of the detection target substance is detected based on the amount of light generated by excitation of a fluorescent label in the fluorescent-label binding substance. An electrified fluorescent substance containing a plurality of fluorescent dye molecules enclosed by a material that transmits fluorescence output from the plurality of fluorescent dye molecules is used as the fluorescent label. The electrified fluorescent substance is attracted to the sensor portion by applying voltage to the liquid sample in a state in which the fluorescent-label binding substance has bound to the sensor portion. In this state, the amount of the detection target substance is detected.

A sensor chip includes a dielectric plate and a sensor portion having a metal layer deposited on a predetermined area on the dielectric plate. A photo-reactable labeling-substance of an amount corresponding to the amount of a substance to be detected in a sample binds to the sensor portion by contacting the sample with the sensor portion. The amount of the substance to be detected is obtained by irradiating the predetermined area with excitation light and by detecting light output from the photo-reactable labeling-substance in an enhanced electric field that has been generated on the metal layer by irradiation with the excitation light. The photo-reactable labeling-substance includes a photo-reactable substance enclosed by a light transmissive material that transmits light output from the photo-reactable substance to prevent metal quenching that occurs when the photo-reactable substance is located close to the metal layer.
