  • Patent number: 10895535
    Abstract: Provided is a measurement method with which an analyte in a sample containing a high concentration of the analyte can be measured with high accuracy without diluting the sample in multiple stages. An embodiment of the present invention relates to a measurement method for measuring an amount of an analyte in a sample, the method including: a binding step of providing the sample to a containing part of a measuring chip including the containing part for containing liquid, and a first capture body immobilized inside the containing part and having a recognition site that specifically binds to the analyte so as to bind the analyte contained in the sample to the first capture body; and a measurement step of measuring an amount of the analyte bound to the first capture body.

  • Patent number: 10458983
    Abstract: The present invention provides a staining method in which the fluorescent staining properties in a fluorescently-immunostained specimen are not reduced even when an oil-based mounting medium is used. The present invention also provides a method of preventing deterioration of a fluorescent label caused by irradiation with excitation light and improving the light resistance in a fluorescently-immunostained specimen obtained by the staining method. The biological substance detection method according to the present invention is a biological substance detection method for specifically detecting a biological substance from a pathological specimen, which includes the steps of: immunostaining the specimen with a fluorescent label; immobilizing the thus stained specimen; and mounting the thus immobilized specimen using a mounting medium including an organic solvent not freely miscible with water.
