摘要:
The present invention provides a quantitative measurement method and quantitative measurement chip which can perform quantitative measurement of a target substance in a short period of time. The invention provides a quantitative measurement method in which a three dimensional mesh structure material is formed, and quantitative measurements are taken of the target substance using a structure which contains a reagent that reacts with the target substance in the mesh. This method includes a contacting step in which a test specimen which includes the target substance is brought into contact with the structure; a detecting step which, in a process in which a substance whose quantity will increase or decrease by means of the reaction between the target substance and the reagent, detects the substance whose quantity is increasing or decreasing within the structure at a contact interface between the test specimen and the reagent; and a quantitative measurement step which performs quantitative measurement of the target substance based on the results of the detecting step. The mesh structure will allow at least the target substance to pass therethrough.

摘要:
A microchip is provided, in which dead space provided only for holding excess fluid is made smaller. The microchip is formed by joining at least a first substrate with a trench formed on the substrate surface and a second substrate, and it has a fluid circuit formed by the trench and a surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate. The first substrate and/or the second substrate has a projection for moving fluid and/or air in a direction opposite to the direction of gravity during an operation of the microchip, and the projection is provided near an end portion of a through hole and/or an air vent.

An object of the invention is to provide a test chip which allows efficient and convenient separation and measurement. This invention provides a measuring chip for separating and measuring a target component in a sample by rotation around first and second axes of rotation. The measuring chip includes a centrifugal separation tube that centrifugally separates the target component from the sample by rotating the measuring chip around the first axis of rotation; a first holding section installed in the bottom of the centrifugal separation tube, wherein non-target components other than the target component in the sample are introduced therein by rotation around the first axis of rotation, and the first holding section holds the non-target components during rotation around the second axis of rotation; and a measuring section connected to one end of the centrifugal separation tube that measures the non-target components introduced from the centrifugal separation tube by rotation around the second axis of rotation.

A microchip includes fluid circuits therein, formed by uniting together at least a first substrate that is a transparent substrate and a second substrate having grooves provided at the substrate surface and/or through holes penetrating in a thickness direction. The fluid circuits include a liquid reagent receptacle unit to store a liquid reagent, a quantification unit to quantify the liquid reagent or specimen, and an overflow liquid storage unit connected to the quantification unit to store the liquid reagent or specimen overflowing from the quantification unit during quantification. There is also provided a method of using the microchip.
