Namely, it is intended to provide a method of analyzing a sugar chain in a sample, which comprises the following steps: A) the sugar chain-releasing step of releasing the sugar chain in the sample; B) the detection sample-preparing step of preparing the released sugar chain for detection; and, in the case of conducting mass spectrometry using a plate, C) the step of forming a plate for the mass spectrometry having the captured sugar chain dotted thereon which comprises the step of providing the tagged sugar chain sample solution obtained in the step B) on a collection plate; and, if required, the step of conducting an operation in a solid phase support-enclosed plate to form the plate for mass spectrometry; and D) the step of analyzing the sugar chain to be assayed.

Abstract: X rays are emitted without injecting an angiographic contrast material, and a non-injection image acquiring device 7 acquires a non-injection image in the angiographic contrast material non-injection state. X rays are emitted after injecting the angiographic contrast material, and an injection image acquiring device 8 acquires an injection image in the angiographic contrast material injection state. A blood vessel locus image acquiring device 9 superimposes the non-injection image and injection image acquired, and processes image data of a DSA image obtained in each of the non-injection state and injection state of the angiographic contrast material to acquire a blood vessel locus image. An image processing device 10 carries out a black-and-white reversal of the blood vessel locus image acquired, and the blood vessel is displayed in white. Beam hardening filters are inserted, and X-ray fluoroscopic radiography is carried out while inserting a guide wire W into the blood vessel.
