PCT No. PCT/JP92/01652 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 16, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 16, 1993 PCT Filed Dec. 17, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/13418 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 8, 1993.The present invention relates to an apparatus for performing a fluoroimmunoassay, the apparatus comprising an excitation light source, a fluorescence detector, an optical fiber for an excitation light from the excitation light source to which an antigen or antibody is bound, and a spectroscope, in which the mentioned antigen or antibody is bound to an outgoing end surface of the optical fiber for the excitation light. In the apparatus the spectroscope is constructed so that it introduces the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source to a incident end surface of the optical fiber for the excitation light and introduces a fluorescence emitted from a fluorescence-labeled antibody or antigen which forms an immunological complex with the antigen or antibody to the fluorescence detector. In the apparatus the outgoing end surface of the optical fiber for the excitation light has a transmittance for the excitation light from the excitation light source. The invention also relates to a sensing chip which is used in the apparatus for performing a fluoroimmunoassay therewith.
