    Abstract: Provided is a method of enclosing a microscopic body in at least some of a plurality of cavities formed in the surface of a substrate, including the step of arranging an insertion member above the cavity-formed surface of the substrate, determining relative positions of the insertion member and the substrate by a support section provided on the insertion member such that the bottom surface of the insertion member and the cavity-formed surface of the substrate face each other, thereby providing a solution introduction space between the bottom surface of the insertion member and the cavity-formed surface of the substrate, and providing a solution discharge space that is in communication with the solution introduction space, the solution discharge space being located above the bottom surface of the insertion member, and between the substrate and the insertion member, within the substrate and/or within the insertion member.

    Abstract: Provided is a method to detect a target molecule, including a complex formation step of reacting a target molecule, a carrier modified with a first antibody which specifically binds to the target molecule, and two or more second antibodies which specifically bind to the target molecule, and are labeled with enzymes having a substrate cleaving activity and mutually different substrate specificities, to form a complex consisting of the first antibody, the target molecule and the second antibodies, on the carrier; and a detection step of reacting two or more substrates having cleavage sites by the enzymes, a fluorescent substance bound to one terminal side of each of the cleavage sites and a quencher bound to another terminal side thereof, wherein the fluorescent substances are mutually different in fluorescence wavelength, and the complex, to detect fluorescence emitted from the fluorescent substances.

    Abstract: There is provided a method of detecting a microscopic body stored in a plurality of receptacles formed separately from each other. The method, which is provided as a technique for enclosing a to-be-detected substance such as nucleic acid, protein, virus, and cell by means of a simple operation in droplets of an extremely small volume and enabling highly sensitive detection, includes the steps of (1) introducing a solvent into a space between a lower layer part in which the receptacles are formed and an upper layer part facing a surface of the lower layer part in which surface the receptacles are formed, wherein the solvent contains the microscopic body; (2) introducing gas into the space to form a droplet of the solvent in the receptacles, wherein the droplet contains the microscopic body; and (3) detecting the microscopic body present in the droplet optically, electrically, and/or magnetically.
