Abstract
Provided is a biosensor with precision, high accuracy, and high sensitivity capable of increasing measurement accuracy while allowing measurements to be performed anywhere at any time by anyone, and allowing measurement with a small amount of specimen. In a biosensor including a specimen application portion () and a development flow channel (), the specimen application portion () is configured such that an application space () is enclosed by a space-forming member () made of a liquid impermeable material, and a reaction reagent () that contains a labeling-reagent is retained in a position facing the application space () of the space-forming member () in the specimen application portion () so that the reaction reagent can be dissolved into a liquid specimen applied to the application space (). Thus, it is possible to reduce the amount of specimen required for measurement, also completely dissolve the labeling-reagent and cause the labeling-reagent to react and develop with the entire liquid specimen, allowing measurement with high accuracy and high sensitivity.
