Abstract: The biochemical analysis unit has a base plate and absorptive regions. The absorptive regions are surrounded by the base plate formed of materials which shield a radioactive ray and a light. In the absorptive regions are applied and absorbed specific binding substances to be bound with substances derived from a living organism that are labeled with labeling substances for generating the radioactive ray or the light. The base plate prevents the specific binding substances from penetrating in the other absorptive regions. When an analysis of data of the radioactive ray and the light is carried out, an image of the radioactive ray and the light is generated without noises.

Abstract: A micro array, which comprises a stimulable phosphor sheet, and multiple kinds of biomolecules arrayed and fixed on the stimulable phosphor sheet, is prepared. A biomolecule labeled with an energy generating substance is brought into contact with the micro array and is subjected to hybridization with a fixed biomolecule, which is among the multiple kinds of the biomolecules fixed on the stimulable phosphor sheet. The stimulable phosphor sheet is caused to store energy from the energy generating substance acting as the label of the labeled biomolecule having been hybridized with the fixed biomolecule. The stimulable phosphor sheet is then exposed to stimulating rays, a which cause it to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon. The emitted light is photoelectrically detected, and the fixed biomolecule having been hybridized with the labeled biomolecule is thus detected.
