Abstract
Disclosed is a sample holding carrier allowing samples to be measured accurately, and a fluorescence detection device for use with the sample holding carrier. A biosensor substrate includes a base substrate, a plurality of wells formed on a first surface side of the base substrate; and grooves formed on the first surface side of the base substrate separately from the wells and generating fluorescence under exposure to excitation light. The fluorescence detection device applies excitation light to the grooves, thereby figuring out the level of the fluorescence to be detected from the biosensor substrate. As a result, the fluorescence detection device can amplify the detection signals of the fluorescence generated when the excitation light is applied to the wells to an appropriate level, thereby accurately detecting the fluorescence generated in the samples.
