The absorbance of samples in a number of wells on a microchamber array is efficiently read in a short period of time. The microchamber array is simultaneously irradiated with monochromatic light. Well-transmitted light is captured via a telecentric optical system () by an imaging camera () as an image, and the absorbance of the sample in each well is individually calculated.

Absorbance reader apparatus, absorbance reader control method, and absorbance calculation program

Provided is an apparatus for detecting biopolymers (DNA) capable of total analysis including non-reacted samples without complicated operations such as washing. A DNA probe is fixed to one of electrodes and direct current voltage is placed between the electrodes, so that it becomes possible to separate complementary strand sample DNA and non-complementary strand sample DNA. By analyzing from a ratio in the whole reaction system, it is possible to obtain clearer results. Further, by using electrophoresis by gel together, it is possible to separate reacted samples and non-reacted samples to perform measurements therefor in the same reaction field.

Apparatus for detecting biopolymers and cartridge

Disclosed is a biopolymer (DNA) detector capable of performing overall analysis including an unreacted sample without needing any complex work such as washing or the like. A DNA probe is fixed to an electrode plate and the electrode plate is displaced by applying a DC voltage between electrode plates and Thus, sample DNA to be detected can be separated. It becomes possible to obtain a clearer result by performing analysis based on a ratio of an entire reaction system.
