Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weak luminescence detecting device, in luminescence measurement, capable of: preventing dark current values or dark current pulse numbers from reducing and from fluctuating relative to temperatures; capturing luminescence signals at a high solid angle; and detecting with high sensitivity luminescence having no directivity such as chemiluminescence or bioluminescence.SOLUTION: A luminescence measuring apparatus comprises: a plate-like member for holding a holder for a container storing a sample; a luminescence detection part for detecting luminescence in the sample; a temperature control part for controlling temperature of the luminescence detection part; and an air blowing part for blowing air to a luminescence receiving surface of the luminescence detection part.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an automatic analyzer which can detect a trace amount of reaction solution at a high S/N with stability. The analyzer allows a photomultiplier (111) to detect light from the reaction solution (109) containing a luminescent substance (114) through an optical window (102). To process the output from the photomultiplier to analyze the amount of the luminescent substance (114) contained in the reaction solution (109), an optical transmission system (110) is interposed between the optical window (102) and the photomultiplier (111). The optical transmission system includes a light inlet opposed to the optical window; a light outlet opposed to the light-receiving surface of the detector; and a reflector on which an incident beam of light from the light inlet is reflected to propagate to the light outlet. This configuration allows the effects of temperature-dependent noise from a flow cell (101) to be reduced while preventing a drop in the amount of light from the luminescent substance (114), thereby implementing analysis at a high S/N.

Abstract:
This detection device has a holder and a heating unit. The holder holds a detection chip that has the following: a prism that has an incidence surface and a film-formation surface; a metal film formed on said film-formation surface; trapping bodies laid out on the surface of said metal film; and a substrate that is laid out on the surface of the metal film, and together with the metal film, forms a liquid collection section in which a liquid is collected. The heating unit heats at least one of the substrate, the prism, and the metal film either while in contact therewith or without contacting same. Also, the heating unit is positioned so as to avoid the path that excitation light takes from an excitation-light emission unit to the abovementioned incidence surface.
