Abstract: The invention provides a biosensor comprising a microbe-binding aptamer(s) in the substrate recognition element. It is possible to obtain a stabilized biosensor wherein the detection sensitivity for target microbe (target bacterium) is not impaired depending on the storage condition or measuring sample, and target bacterium in a body fluid can be directly measured by insertion of the substrate recognition element of the biosensor.

Abstract: A sensor chip has: a light transmitting outer package, a plurality of reaction chambers disposed inside the outer package; a plurality of first induction paths that are connected to the reaction chambers and introduce a sample liquid into the reaction chambers; a first induction path where the induction paths merge; an introducing portion that is connected to the induction path and introduces the sample liquid; second induction paths that are connected to the reaction chambers respectively; a second induction path where the induction paths merge, and a cavity portion constituting a suction portion that is connected to the induction path and sucks the sample liquid. The total lengths of the first induction paths that are connected to different reaction chambers are different from each other, and different types of test reagents are held in the plurality of reaction chambers respectively.
