Fluorescent testing system, dielectrophoresis device, and molecular testing method

Abstract

Provided are a fluorescent testing system, a dielectrophoresis device, and a molecular testing method that measure only fluorescence emitted from a test object without separating excitation light and the fluorescence by an optical filter and that are able to prevent reduction of an application range of a type of the fluorescence. A fluorescent testing system () includes: an excitation light source () that radiates excitation light (L) to a test object (M) flowing in a microfluidic channel (); a silicon integrated circuit () provided with a photon detection unit () that detects light by a photodiode (); a dielectrophoresis electrode pair () that generates an electric field (EF) to draw the test object (M) onto the photodiode () by dielectrophoresis; and a control unit () that causes the excitation light source () to radiate the excitation light (L) to the test object (M) that is drawn and causes the photon detection unit (), after extinguishment of the excitation light (L), to detect fluorescence (L) emitted from the test object (M).
