Abstract
An objective of the present invention is to provide immunoassay microchips in which microstructures of beads having a sufficient reaction area were constructed within microchannels while suppressing flow path resistance, and to provide simple and highly-sensitive immunoassay methods for microsamples. The objective was achieved by immunoassay microchips comprising microchannels with microstructures arranged in at least a portion of the microchannels, the microstructures retaining microbeads uniformly dispersed in photo-cured hydrophilic resins, and the microbeads having a primary antibody immobilized on their surfaces, and by immunoassay methods using the microchips.
