    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: In a detection method, first dielectric particles each capable of being bound to a first target substance and second dielectric particles each capable of being bound to a second target substance are caused to react with a sample that contains a first target substance and a second target substance, the second dielectric particles having a different dielectrophoretic property from the first dielectric particles, a first composite particle to which the first target substance is bound is separated from the other first dielectric particle, and a second composite particle to which the second target substance is bound is separated from the other second dielectric particle by causing dielectrophoresis in the sample after the reaction, and the first target substance contained in the separated first composite particle and the second target substance contained in the second composite particle are each detected.

    Abstract: A detection method includes applying a magnetic field to a sample including a composite particle, an unbound particle, and a first solvent, thereby retaining the composite particle and the unbound particle, each of the composite particle and the unbound particle including a magnetic dielectric particle modified by a substance capable of specifically binding to a target substance, the composite particle being bound to the target substance, the unbound particle being not bound to the target substance; replacing, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, at least part of the first solvent with a second solvent with lower electrical conductivity than the first solvent in a state in which the composite particle and the unbound particle are retained; stopping the application of the magnetic field and applying an electric field, thereby separating the composite particle and the unbound particle by dielectrophoresis; and detecting the separated composite particle, thereby detecting the target substance.
