There is provided a novel luminescence measuring apparatus that enables measuring a luminescence amount or a luminescence intensity from plural living biological samples, such as tissues, cells, and biological individuals, into which a gene expressing a luminescent protein has been introduced, individually for the respective biological samples. The inventive luminescence measuring apparatus comprises an image acquisition portion that acquires a luminescence image of biological samples; a measurement region determination portion that determines at least one measurement region in the luminescence image; and a luminescence measurement portion that measures the luminescence amount or luminescence intensity in the determined measurement region; thereby measuring the luminescence amount or luminescence intensity individually by the biological sample(s) included in the measurement region. Irrespective of an efficiency of transfer of a luminescent protein gene into a cell, etc., it becomes possible to execute a luminescence measurement successfully while observing only biological samples having a gene expression.

A process for producing a test piece for analyzing a labeled substance with a biological origin which comprises the step of supplying a solution containing a substance capable of specifically binding to the substance with the biological origin onto a support and fixing the specifically binding substance at a definite position on the support, characterized in that the solution contains a substance to be detected, which is either the same as the label or different therefrom, uniformly dissolved or dispersed therein independently from the specifically binding substance. A method of examining a test piece having a substance specifically binding to a substance with a biological origin fixed at a definite position on a support, characterized by comprising the step of supplying a labeled test substance onto a support and fixing it at a position different from the position of the specifically binding substance, and the step of eliminating the unfixed test substance.

An object of the invention is to provide a quick, easy, and highly-sensitive method of detecting a substance to be analyzed, and to provide a method of supporting the analysis results by quantitativeness even if the amount of samples to be handled is a very small amount. The invention is a method of detecting a substance to be analyzed, including: measuring a intensity of a signal derived from a labeled substance to be analyzed, in a time series during an increase in the signal intensity; and representing the signal intensity by a function of time, and using the quantitative value of the signal intensity for when the slope of an approximated line of the measured signal intensity is within a range between 0.5 and 1.5 times the slope of the approximated line of the previously measured signal intensity.

That invention provides a nucleic acid information detection method which, in a method wherein a target nucleic acid, and probes having a complementary sequence with at least a portion of the target nucleic acid sequence, are contacted with each other in order to form hybrids between the target nucleic acid and the probes, and the amount of signal generated depending on the amount of hybrids is measured in order to detect the information on the target nucleic acid, includes kinetically obtaining data of the signal. Furthermore the invention provides a nucleic acid information detection method which, in a method wherein a perfect matched probe having a perfect complementary sequence with respect to at least part of a target nucleic acid sequence, and one or more types of imperfectly matched probes having at least one part of the perfect matched probe mutated, are contacted with the target nucleic acid in order to hybridize between the target nucleic acid and the perfect matched probe, or the imperfect matched probes, so that the information on the target nucleic acid can be detected based on the difference in binding strength of the hybrids, includes kinetically obtaining data of the signal while changing continuously or stepwise the condition for measuring or detecting the signal from the hybrids.

A sample container containing a biopsy sample obtained by an instrument is arranged in the operation section of an endoscope. The sampling means of an instrument inserted into the subject through the instrument channel of the endoscope is used, obtaining a biopsy sample. The biopsy sample is introduced from the instrument into the sample container arranged in the operation section, without pulling the instrument outside. The sample obtained can therefore be stabilized fast and be preserved fresh. The biopsy sample is prevented from being contaminated and from contaminating the environment. The sample can therefore undergo accurate examinations and diagnoses.
