The present invention provides an analysis method for simultaneously detecting or quantifying plural species of target substances by measuring the light emission from plural carriers within a single container from outside of the container, these carriers comprising a plurality of substances that are respectively immobilized thereon for capturing the plural species of target substances, wherein the light emission from a desired carrier is selectively received by measuring the emission from the carriers through an optical filter. The present invention also provides an analysis kit for simultaneously detecting or quantifying plural species of target substances by measuring the light emission from plural carriers within a single container from outside of the container, these carriers comprising a plurality of substances that are respectively immobilized thereon for capturing the plural species of target substances, which comprises the plural carriers and an optical filter for selectively receiving the emission from a desired carrier.

Analysis method and analysis kit for simultaneously detecting or quantitating multiple types of target substances

An embodiment of a device for automatically executing a process of generating an emulsion containing nucleic acids, amplifying the nucleic acids in the emulsion, breaking the emulsion, and separating and purifying said amplified nucleic acids, is described that comprises an emulsion generation unit for sealing beads to which nucleic acids are bound in a water-in-oil type emulsion; a nucleic acid amplification unit provided with a reaction vessel for amplifying said nucleic acids and a heating and cooling part for heating and cooling the reaction vessel; an emulsion breaking unit for breaking the emulsion after nucleic acid amplification; and a nucleic acid purification unit for recovering said amplified nucleic acids from said emulsion breaking unit.
