An analysis method includes: an inflow process of a solution containing a test object, a magnetic support on the surface of which a complex including an antibody labeled with a luminescent agent and recognizes the test object is formed, and a reaction aid to assist reaction of the luminescent agent in a flow cell; a process of capturing the magnetic support over a working electrode by a magnetic field; a process of making the luminescent agent illuminate by applying a voltage to the working electrode; and a process of measuring an amount of luminescence of the luminescent agent. The luminescent process includes: luminescence from action of a first neutral radical, produced from the reaction aid through a cation radical; and luminescence from action of a second neutral radical, produced not through a cation radical, on the luminescent agent. This increases the luminous efficiency of ECL and enhances detection sensitivity.
