Abstract
A plurality of cDNAs each having a known different base sequence are labeled with a fluorescent dye (FITC), whereby F-cDNA is prepared. The F-cDNA is disposed at a plurality of predetermined positions on the slide glass of a DNA micro array chip. Cy5-cDNA is prepared by synthesizing cDNA from poly(A)-mRNA in the presence of a fluorescent dye (Cy5). The Cy5-cDNA is placed on the DNA micro array chip and hybridized to the F-cDNA. After hybridization, the DNA micro array chip is read by a quantitative apparatus incorporated with an analyzer in which information about the base composition ratio and base length of cDNA has been registered.
Claims12
A measuring method which measures a value detected from a second label corrected for a value detected from a first label comprising the steps of:
- detecting a level of a first labeling signal emitted by a first labeling substance, which labels a plurality of known different specific binding substances respectively disposed at a plurality of predetermined positions on a carrier of a test piece, for each of said plurality of predetermined positions;
- binding an organism originated substance labeled with a second labeling substance differing from said first labeling substance, to said specific binding substances and detecting a level of a second labeling signal emitted from said second labeling substance for each of said plurality of predetermined positions;
- and
- measuring a quantity of said organism-originated substance bound to said specific binding substance, based on the detected level of said second labeling signal, corrected for the detected level of said first labeling signal.
