Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the results of measurement with a high accuracy, by applying a DC voltage to between an electrode arranged within a tubulet and an electrode provided at the bottom of an antibody immobilized porous membrane to introduce a sample to the antibody immobilized porous membrane. CONSTITUTION:After an upper electrolytic liquid 5 and a lower electrolytic liquid 6 are injected, a sample is sucked into a sample introduction tubulet 7 to be moved into an electrolyte tank 3 and stopped immediately before an antibody immobilized porous membrane 8. A DC voltage is applied with a power source 11 to between an electrode 9 for introducing the sample and an upper electrode 21 set near the membrane 8 in the electrolyte tank 3 in such a manner that the electrode 21 will be an anode while the electrode 9 will be a cathode. At this point, components in the sample move onto the membrane 8. Then, the power source 11 is turned OFF and a DC voltage is applied with a DC power source 13 immediately to between the electrode 21 and a lower electrode 10 in such a manner that the electrode 10 will be an anode while the electrode 21 will be a cathode. Then, an antibody solution labeled with luminol is introduced onto the membrane 8 and moved therethrough to react.

By immobilizing an antibody on a membrane-like carrier and applying a potential gradient perpendicular to the surface of this membrane, the antigen in the sample to be measured is moved in this direction by electrophoresis, and an antigen-antibody reaction occurs with the immobilized antibody. The antibody labeled with the antigen immobilized in the above process is moved by electrophoresis and reacted, or the unreacted portion of the antibody immobilized on the membrane carrier is labeled. The concentration of the antigen in the sample is determined by immobilizing the labeled substance on a membrane-like carrier by either moving the labeled antigen by electrophoresis and reacting it, and measuring the concentration of this labeled substance. A method has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6O-57257).
