Abstract: FRET measurement uses a FRET probe that includes a probe element X labeled with a donor fluorescent substance and a probe element Y labeled with an acceptor fluorescent substance and enables FRET to occur when the probe element X and the probe element Y approach to each other or bind together. A test sample as a measuring object in FRET measurement contains a test object about which it is unknown whether or not it has an approaching/binding property of allowing the probe element X and the probe element Y to approach to each other or bind together or a separating property of separating from each other the probe element X and the probe element Y that are in a state where they adjoin each other or bind together. A plurality of sets of a fluorescence lifetime ?sample and a ratiometry Rsample obtained by this measurement are used to judge whether or not the test object has the approaching/binding property or the separating property.
