Analysis kit and analysis method using same

Abstract

The present invention provides a miniaturizable tool that can analyze a target in a sample by a simple operation and an analysis method using the tool. An analysis chip is a syringe-type chip including: a syringe main body having an openable and closable tip; and a piston to be inserted into the syringe main body, the piston being a hollow body having a translucent closed-end at a side to be inserted into the syringe main body and an open-end at the other side. Analysis device includes a main body case that is a housing, the housing including: an insertion opening into which the syringe-type chip is to be inserted; and a void in communication with the insertion opening, wherein an opposite end of the insertion opening in an axial direction is a bottom; a heating unit that heats the syringe-type chip; a light source unit that emits light to the syringe-type chip; and a detection unit that is a columnar body that can be inserted into the hollow body of the piston and disposed at the bottom of the housing in the axial direction. In use, the syringe-type chip is inserted into the analysis device from a side of the piston and the detection unit of the analysis device is inserted into the piston of the syringe-type chip.
