A terminal () is attached to a sensor sheet () using a tongue piece () that extends from the sensor sheet (). This makes it possible to reduce a sense of discomfort in a subject caused by the presence of the terminal (), and to realize a biological-information measurement device with which it is possible to mitigate a sense of discomfort in a subject caused by the device, to a greater extent than in a case in which, e.g., the entire reverse surface of the terminal () is secured to the sensor sheet ().

Biological information measurement device

In a case where the target () is not supplied, binding through a nucleic acid sequence from the base end on a side of the solid phase surface of the complementary sequence complementary to a part of the nucleic acid sequence of the detection sequence to the other base end is maintained, which causes fluorescence of the fluorescent molecule () to be quenched by the quenching molecule () close to the fluorescent molecule (). In a case where the target () is supplied, the target is bound to the detection sequence and the binding through the complementary sequence is released, which causes the fluorescent molecule () to separate from the quenching molecule () and emit fluorescence.

Nucleic acid sequence measurement device

Provided is a sensor sheetcomprising: a lower sheetthat is affixed to the skin of a subject; an upper sheetthat is affixed to the surface side of the lower sheetand an electric circuit sectionprovided to an area corresponding to the upper sheetA peripheral edge sectionhas a single-layer structure comprising only the lower sheetA central area has a multilayer structure comprising the lower sheetand the upper sheetIn this way, the ability to conform to the skin is enhanced in the peripheral edge sectionof the sheet where itching is likely to occur, the electric circuit sectioncan be held firmly in the central area.

Sensor sheet

To reduce optical noise in fluorescence measurement. A biochipfor fluorescence measurement includes a transparent substrate, multiple microlensesdispersively formed on a first surfaceof the transparent substrate, multiple protruding portionsformed corresponding one-to-one with the microlenseson a second surfaceof the transparent substrate, and a fluorescence measurement siteformed at a top portion of each protruding portion

Biochip, biochip unit, biochip reading device, and biochip manufacturing method

In this biological information measurement device, the following are provided within a shield framein which the interior is shielded from the outside when attached to a sensor sheet: a terminal (a spring probe) that is connected to a sensor (an electrode) of the sensor sheet; and an external terminal (a USB terminal) for connection to an external device.
