<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor of a remarkably reduced cost and size, requiring no secondary attachment and no positional alignment. <P>SOLUTION: This sensor 30 is a sensor such as a lateral flow sensor including a chemical layer 32 and a detector 36 on a flexible substrate 40. An optical signal is generated in response to an analyte 34 arranged on the chemical layer. The presence or absence and a concentration of the analyte are detected by detecting the optical signal by the detector. The detector is mounted on the substrate. The chemical layer and the substrate are layered each other to form the integrated sensor. The sensor may include a light source 42. The light source may be arranged on the substrate, or on a side opposite to the detector in the chemical layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
