MATTER ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING MATTER

摘要

An apparatus for analyzing materials is provided to measure a plurality of samples only by exchanging a relatively cheap sample reaction portion with re-using a detection portion, thereby reducing economical burden on a user. An apparatus for analyzing materials comprises: a sample reaction portion(100) where a fixation material(B) reacting with a sample is attached; a light source(110) which applies light to the reacted sample to allow the reacted sample to be thermally expanded; and a detection portion(130) which detects pressure wave generated by the thermal expansion of the sample. The apparatus further comprises a controlling portion analyzing the sample based on information regarding the detected pressure wave. A method for analyzing materials comprises the steps of: (a) thermally expanding a sample reacted with a fixation material; (b) measuring pressure wave generated from the thermally expanded sample; and (c) analyzing the reacted sample based on the measured thermally expanded sample. Further, the pressure wave is transmitted to the detection portion through a transmission medium which is a buffer solution.
