SAMPLE TESTING DEVICE

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain highly accurate testing results in a sample testing device in which molecules to be detected are quantified by optically measuring the turbidity or absorbance of a test solution originating from magnetic particles. Magnets (41) apply a magnetic field to a test solution comprising a sample and magnetic particles, accommodated in a test container (31). A photometric mechanism has a light source (210) and a detector (220). The light source (210) irradiates the test solution with light. The detector (220) is provided to a position opposing the light source (210), with the test container (31) interposed therebetween, and detects light coming from the test solution. The magnets (41) have a geometric arrangement such that there is substantially uniform magnetic flux density of the magnetic field in the test solution inside the test container (31).
