Biochemical reaction cassette and detection apparatus for biochemical reaction cassette

摘要

A biochemical reaction cassette comprises: a substrate carrying probes immobilized thereon, the probes being adapted to be specifically bound to a target substance; a reaction space forming member for forming a reaction space with the substrate; an elastic member; and an anchor member for supporting the substrate so as to keep it movable relative to the reaction space forming member by way of the elastic member.

主权项

1. A detection apparatus for detecting a reaction in a reaction space provided in a biochemical reaction cassette, the biochemical reaction cassette including a substrate made of glass or synthetic resin and a reaction space forming member for forming the reaction space with the substrate, the apparatus comprising:
a holding structure for holding the biochemical reaction cassette; a detector having a detection surface for detecting the reaction in the reaction space by way of the substrate; three or more than three supports drivably arranged between the detector and the biochemical reaction cassette, and having respective front ends to be contacted to a surface of the substrate; and a driving mechanism for driving the supports to the substrate such that the front ends of the supports are contacted to the surface of the substrate and define a plane parallel to the detection surface.
