Specific coupling reaction measuring method and reagent kit and specific coupling reaction measuring apparatus for use in the same

摘要

A specific coupling reaction measuring method of this invention for measuring a content of a subject substance in a sample includes the steps of (a) constructing a reaction system including the sample and a magnetic particle on which a specific coupling substance for specifically coupling with the subject substance is immobilized; (b) measuring an optical characteristic of the reaction system; and (c) removing, from the reaction system, an agglutination complex including the subject substance, the specific coupling substance and the magnetic particle by utilizing magnetic force.
