PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detecting device and a detecting method, capable of adjusting the position of a tip of a pipet in advance and highly accurately detecting the presence or amount of substances to be detected.SOLUTION: A detecting device comprises a pipet, a pipet moving unit, an electric characteristic measuring unit, a light irradiating unit, a light detecting unit, and a processing unit. The pipet supplies a liquid to a housing unit or recovers it from the housing unit and at least whose tip has conductivity. The electric characteristic measuring unit measures the electric characteristics between a metal film and the tip of the pipet. The light detecting unit detects the amount of fluorescence emitted from the neighborhood of a surface on the housing unit side of the metal film or the amount of light reflected by the metal film when the light irradiating unit irradiates the metal film with light. The processing unit determines the position of the tip of the pipet with respect to the metal film on the basis of the measurement results of the electric characteristic measuring unit. |
