Provided is a method for detecting a target particle, having (a) a step for concentrating a test sample so as to enhance the concentration of target particles in the test sample, (b) a step for preparing a sample solution containing the test sample concentrated in step (a) and a luminescent probe that binds to the target particle, and allowing the target particle and the luminescent probe to bind in the sample solution, and (c) a step for counting the number of target particles bound to the luminescent probe present in the sample solution according to a scanning molecule counting method, wherein the luminescence properties of the released light differ between the state in which the luminescent probe is bound to the target particle and the state in which the luminescent probe is present alone. |
