That is, a biosensor using a quartz vibrator. [Prior Art] Recently, there have been problems in the expansion and deepening of environmental pollution caused by environmental hormones such as dioxin, and it is expected that there will be sensors that can detect such environmental pollutants in a precise, short-term, and low-cost manner. Further, there is a need for a sensor for detecting proteins such as viruses, bacteria, and hepatitis C which are infectious diseases represented by SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in a short time and at low cost. The method for detecting such a substance to be measured (hereinafter referred to as "target substance") is as follows: high-resolution gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC / MS) method, ELISA (enzyme immunoassay) method, and the like. However, such a method of detecting a subject substance requires a skilled worker, and the apparatus used is large, expensive, and the inspection takes a long time. Therefore, it is considered to utilize a change in the resonance frequency of the quartz resonator caused by selective adhesion (adsorption) of the target substance so as to cause a change in the electrode mass. That is, first, a reaction substance which reacts with the substance to be detected is formed on the electrode of the quartz oscillator. Then, in consideration of the change in the resonance frequency, the detection target substance reacts with the reaction substance, and the mass of the electrode changes, and the detection target substance (see BME) is detected by the detection of 5 312 / invention specification (supplement) / 93-09/93118551 1283745 , 2 Ο Ο 2 years, 1st issue, vol. 16 , pp. 2 8~3 5, published by Kurosawa, "Biosensor using quartz vibrator"). In the target substance detection method using such a quartz resonator, a solution containing a substance to be detected is placed in a small beaker or a test tube. Then, before the measurement of the target substance, a quartz resonator in which a reaction substance is formed on the electrode is connected to an oscillation circuit, and the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit is measured by a frequency counter. Thereafter, a quartz oscillator is immersed in the solution to react the reaction substance with the target substance. Although the quartz oscillator is immersed in the solution, the oscillation frequency changes due to the viscous impedance of the solution. However, the change in the electrode mass caused by the reaction of the reaction substance with the target substance occurs from the large oscillation of the larger quartz oscillator. The change in frequency. The sensitivity of the frequency change caused by the change in the mass of the electrode portion of such a crystal resonator is extremely high, and the repeatability is also good. Therefore, according to this detection method, the precise and short-time detection of the object material can be performed, and the skilled worker is not required, and the cost of the inspection operation is also low. However, after the above-mentioned methods for detecting the known target substances, the beakers or test tubes used in the inspection work, quartz vibrators, etc. must be washed or incinerated and discarded. In addition, due to the difference in the substances to be tested, there are also extremely dangerous substances. For such substances, they must be carefully taken care of after disposal, and the increase in waste also causes new environmental damage. pollution problem. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a problem that the object substance can be easily detected without the above problems, and the analysis cost is also low, and in particular, it is easy to abandon the work after the waste 6 312 / invention manual (supplement) / 93-09/93118551 1283745, and A quartz sensor with a very small amount of waste. According to the present invention, a crystal resonator is composed of a quartz resonator element, wherein the quartz resonator is configured as a plate-shaped quartz plate, and a concave portion for storing a substance to be detected is formed at a central portion; a pair of excitation electrodes, The opposite sides are formed on both sides of the concave portion of the quartz plate; and the lead electrodes are respectively led to the excitation electrode at the end of the quartz plate; and the reaction substance reacts with the substance to be detected formed in the concave portion. Then, the target substance is dropped onto the concave portion, and the resonance frequency of the quartz resonator caused by the change in the electrode mass due to the reaction between the target substance and the reaction substance is detected, and the target substance is detected. [Embodiment] A quartz sensor of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The quartz sensor of the present invention is composed of a plate-shaped quartz plate 1 (inverted-structure quartz plate), and has a concave portion 2 for storing a substance to be detected on one surface of a substantially central portion thereof. The concave portion 2 is formed, for example, by grinding ij, wet etching, or the like, and has a size of a volume capable of accommodating a target substance, that is, 0 · 1 m 1 (ml) to 1 0 m 1 . Here, the depth of the concave portion 2 can be adjusted by bonding other thin quartz pieces to the quartz piece 1 by an appropriate means. Further, a pair of excitation electrodes 3, 3 are formed on opposite sides of the concave portion 2 of the quartz piece 1, and the excitation electrodes 3 are led out toward the end portion of the quartz plate 1 by a pair of lead electrodes 4, 4. These derivation electrodes 4, 4 are connected to an oscillating circuit (see Embodiments 2 and 3), and the oscillation frequency of the oscillating circuit can be measured by a frequency counter, a network analyzer or the like (not shown). 312/Invention Manual (Supplement)/93-09/93118551 1283745 Further, a reaction substance 5 which reacts with a target substance is formed in the concave portion '2 of the quartz piece 1. The reaction material 5 varies depending on the substance to be measured, and is selected from inorganic, organic substances, antibodies, and the like which are suitable for each target substance. A method of detecting a target substance using the quartz sensor of the present invention thus constituted will be described. First, before dropping the solution containing the target substance into the concave portion 2, for example, a quartz sensor is connected to a predetermined oscillation circuit in the atmosphere, and the oscillation frequency f! is measured. Next, the reaction substance is selected corresponding to the target substance, and the solution containing the target substance is dropped down into the concave portion 2 formed in the quartz piece 1, or the quartz sensor itself is impregnated into the solution. At this time, the oscillation frequency of the electrode from the quartz sensor changes to f 2 depending on the mass of the solution. Then, after a certain period of time, the oscillation frequency of the quartz sensor changes to f 3 according to the change in the electrode mass caused by the reaction between the target substance and the reaction substance. Therefore, the difference between the two oscillation frequencies f 3 and f 2 , that is, the value of 丨f 3 — f 2丨 is the detection amount of the target substance (for example, dioxin) to be detected. Further, after the detection operation of the target substance is completed, the quartz sensor of the present invention can be safely treated by incineration treatment, and the amount of waste disposal can be reduced. As a result, the incinerated quartz sensor is an environmentally friendly substance such as glass, which can sufficiently reduce the load on the environment. As described in detail above, the quartz sensor of the present invention forms a concave portion for storing the substance to be measured in the quartz piece. Therefore, it is easy to perform the tool processing after the detection operation without using a beaker or a test tube, and the waste can be reduced. /Inventive manual (supplement) /93-09/93118551 1283745 The quantity and the advantages of easy disposal.

Further, a pair of excitation electrodes 3, 3 are provided facing each other on the bottom surface and the other side surface of each concave portion 2. Further, these excitation electrodes 3, 3 are made of, for example, a film of aluminum or silver formed by vacuum evaporation. Therefore, each of the recesses 2, 2', 2", 2'" can be operated as a quartz resonator having mutually different resonance frequencies. Further, the reaction material 5 is formed on the excitation electrode 3 formed on the bottom surface of each concave portion 2. Further, each of the reaction materials 5 is selected in accordance with the type of the object to be contained in the air, that is, the gas. Therefore, each of the reaction substances 5 formed in each of the concave portions 2, 2', 2'', 2"' has different characteristics. Then, the excitation electrodes 3, 3 of the respective concave portions 2, 2', 2", 2'" The whole group or each group divided into an appropriate number is connected in series as shown in FIG. 4(a), or connected in parallel as shown in FIG. 4(b), toward the connection electrodes 4, 4 formed at one end of the quartz piece 1.

Here, in the case where each concave portion 2 is divided into a block group, the thickness of each concave portion 2, 2', 2", 2"' in the same block group may not be 9 312 / invention specification (supplement) Further, in the first embodiment, although the reaction material 5 is formed on the excitation electrode 3 on the side of the concave portion 2 as shown in FIG. 3, it may be excited on the surface of the plate disposed on the opposite side. The vibrating electrode 3 forms a reaction material 5. Then, a frequency analyzer is connected to the connection electrode 4 to measure the frequency response characteristic of the quartz resonator. Fig. 5 is a graph showing an example of measurement of the target substance of the first embodiment in the atmosphere, and each concave portion 2 The resonance frequency of 2 ', 2 ”, 2 '” is set to a certain frequency difference (eg 9.0 MHz, 9.1 MHz' 9. 2 MHz...) The frequency f〇, fl, f2, f3··· from gradually increasing from f 。. Here, the excitation electrode 3 provided in the concave portion 2 having the resonance frequency f ^ When the reaction substance 5 reacts with the target substance and the electrode mass thereof increases, the resonance frequency f! decreases to f. The resonance frequency f, and f3··· does not change. Therefore, the resonance frequency f 1 is set. The target substance reacted by the reaction material of the excitation electrode 3 of the concave portion 2 is present in the air. Further, by setting a certain reaction time, the concentration of the target substance in the air can be measured by the frequency reduction amount.

In addition, not only the target substance in the air, but also the target substance in a liquid such as water can be detected. [Embodiment 2] This embodiment 2 relates to an oscillation circuit using a quartz resonator, and more particularly to a quartz oscillation circuit capable of maintaining a desired oscillation even in an environment in which a large brake is applied. Hereinafter, Embodiment 2 of the quartz sensor of the present invention will be described with reference to a quartz oscillation circuit in which a base is grounded in a circuit shown in Fig. 7. The base-grounded quartz oscillating circuit of the second embodiment has a large quartz current flowing out, and can strongly excite the quartz oscillator, as compared with the well-known celsi (C ο 1 p i 11 s) quartz oscillating circuit. The transistor 1 shown in Fig. 7 is connected to the power source 3 via the primary side of the tuning coil 2. Further, one end of the secondary side of the tuning coil 2 is grounded 4, and the other end is connected to the output terminal 6 via a capacitor 5. Further, here, the resistors 7 and 8 are connected in parallel to the primary side and the secondary side of the tuning coil 2, respectively. Further, the emitter is grounded via a parallel circuit of the resistor 9 and the capacitor 10. Then, two capacitors 1 1 and 1 2 connected in series are inserted between the collector and the ground, and the first quartz resonator 13 is inserted between the series contact and the emitter. The inductor 14 is connected in parallel to the first quartz resonator 13 . Further, a second quartz crystal resonator 15 having an oscillation frequency equal to the oscillation frequency of the first quartz crystal resonator 13 is connected in series between the base and the ground. Also, 11 312 / invention manual (supplement) /93-09/931 ] 855 ] 1283745 respectively insert the bias resistors 16 and 17 into the power source 3 and the base, and the base and the ground 4, respectively The bypass capacitor 18 is inserted between the power source 3 and the ground 4. According to the quartz oscillation circuit having such a configuration, since the second quartz crystal resonator 15 is inserted into the oscillation circuit using the transistor 1, the effective Q value of the first quartz resonator 13 can be increased. Therefore, even when the first quartz crystal resonator 13 is put into the liquid of the target substance, for example, it is possible to reliably vibrate by receiving a large braking force due to the viscosity of the liquid. Further, since the base-grounded quartz oscillation circuit can flow out a large quartz current by setting a proper circuit constant, it can vibrate with a large electric power, and the first quartz crystal resonator 13 can be more surely oscillated. Therefore, the reaction material is formed in the excitation electrode of the first quartz resonator 13 and is introduced into the liquid, so that it is possible to reliably measure the change in the oscillation frequency which occurs due to the change in the electrode quality caused by the reaction with the target substance. Further, the second embodiment is not limited to the above, and in order to increase the S/N ratio of the oscillation output, for example, the vibrator can be inserted into the loop of FIG. 8, and as shown by the oscillation circuit with the output terminal as the connection portion of the oscillator, self-powering The emitter of crystal 1 takes the oscillating output. In this way, the output is led out from the electrode terminal of the second quartz resonator 15 to obtain an oscillation output with low noise and high purity. Therefore, the detailed change of the oscillation frequency can be detected, and the detection resolution can be improved. Further, as shown in the oscillation circuit in which the other oscillator is disposed from the end of the self-driving crystal resonator of Fig. 9 to the output end, the oscillation output can be obtained from the emitter of the transistor 1. In this case as well, since the oscillation output is derived from the electrode terminal of the first quartz resonator 13, an oscillation output having a good S/N ratio can be obtained. 12 312/Invention Manual (Supplement)/93-09/93]] 8551 1283745 [Embodiment 3] , Further, a circuit diagram similar to the Kechi oscillation circuit shown in Fig. 10 is used, and a quartz resonator is used as a resonator. An example of the LC oscillating circuit will be described with respect to the crystal resonator embodiment 3 used in the quartz sensor of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the emitter of the P N P transistor 1 is grounded via the resistor 2, and the base is grounded E via the series resonant circuit of the coil 3 and the capacitor 4. The base is further connected to the ground E via the two divided capacitors 5 and 6, and the series connection of the split capacitors 5 and 6 is connected to the emitter via the quartz crystal resonator 7 and the capacitor 8 in series, and the self-emitter is connected to the oscillation output terminal via the capacitor 9. Ο ϋ T. Then, the connection collector is connected to the power source V c c, and the bias resistors 10 and 1 1 are respectively inserted between the power source V c c and the base and the base and the ground Ε. Further, the oscillation frequency of the Copibe oscillation circuit determined by the circuit constant of the series resonance circuit of the coil 3 and the capacitor 4 and the resonance frequency of the quartz resonator 7 are substantially identical. According to the oscillation circuit having such a configuration, when the series connection of the split capacitors 5 and 6 is directly connected to the emitter, the well-known emitter-grounded Keji-oscillation circuit is used, and the oscillation frequency is connected in series by the coil 3 and the capacitor 4. The circuit constant of the resonant circuit is determined. Moreover, the frequency stability of such an oscillating circuit becomes, for example, as shown in the graph of Fig. 11. The change in the oscillating frequency is expressed as a standard deviation, which is 10.6 ppm. Then, the quartz crystal resonator 7 and the capacitor 8 are inserted in series between the series contact and the emitter of the split capacitors 5, 6 of the oscillation circuit of the oscillation circuit. Therefore, the oscillation frequency of the Kechi oscillation circuit can be limited by the resonance frequency of the quartz resonator 7, and a stable oscillation frequency can be obtained. Figure 2 2 shows a graph showing the frequency stability of such a vibrating circuit. Oscillation 13 312 / invention specification (supplement) / 93-09/93118551 1283745 The change in frequency is expressed as standard deviation, which is 0. 2 ppm Significantly improved frequency stability (increased stability of 2 digits compared to the embodiment of Fig. 1). Further, in this case, since the quartz crystal resonator 7 limits only the oscillation frequency, it is hardly affected by DLD (Drive Level Dependency, excitation level dependency), Q value (Q u a 1 i t y F a c t), phase characteristics, and the like. Further, Fig. 13 shows a frequency stability chart of an oscillator using the crystal oscillator in which DLD is generated in the oscillation circuit shown in Fig. 10, and excellent frequency stability is shown in the graph. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described Embodiment 3, and for example, in the case of controlling the oscillation frequency from the outside, the circuit shown in Fig. 14 may be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of Fig. 10 and the description thereof will be omitted. That is, in the oscillation circuit shown in Fig. 14, the varactor diode 12 is inserted between the crystal resonator 7 and the capacitor 8, and the control voltage VC is applied from the outside to the cathode side, and the anode is grounded via the loop resistor 13. Hey. In this way, the oscillation frequency can be varied according to the control voltage. And in such an oscillating circuit, the change of the oscillating frequency with respect to the temperature, that is, the frequency-temperature characteristic is measured in advance, and the compensation voltage for maintaining a certain oscillating frequency is provided as the control voltage VCC according to the characteristic, and can be used as the temperature compensating oscillator. Actuate. Further, although the oscillation circuit shown in Fig. 10 is described using a quartz resonator as a resonator, since the resonator can obtain a resonance characteristic by a target frequency, for example, a SAW (elastic surface wave) filter, MCF can be used. (single crystal filter) and the like. According to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, even if the Q value is low and the series resistance is large, and the quartz vibrator exhibiting DLD is used, the oscillation can be surely obtained, and 14 312/invention specification (supplement)/93-09/93118551 1283745 can be obtained. An oscillator that stabilizes the oscillation frequency. (Industrial Applicability) As described above, the quartz sensor of the present invention is useful as a biosensor for detecting dioxin, PCB, infectious disease pathogen (for example, SARS), environmental stress factor or labeled protein, etc. It is useful, can easily detect the target substance, and has low cost, especially a biosensor that is easy to dispose after work and has a small amount of waste.
