Abstract
An analysis tool for use in optical analysis, comprising a detection unithaving through-holespenetrating through the surface and the rear side of a base material, the detection unitcomprising, inside of the base material, a plurality of voidsthat allows a liquid to pass through by capillary action and that communicate with the through-holes, and the through-holesbeing formed with a size that enables a liquid to be held by surface tension. Therefore, by irradiating the detection unitwith light, it is possible to obtain transmitted light Lthat has been transmitted through a liquid film Lf. By analyzing the transmitted light L, a target component in a sample L can be appropriately quantified.
