- a polymer resin material is suitable as such a material. Specifically, acrylic resin, cyclic olefin copolymer or the like can be used.
- the bottom plate 161 is joined to the container body 156 by a laser welding method.
- the fluorescence emitted from the sample by the excitation light irradiation passes through the bottom plate 161.
- the bottom plate 161 is a material that allows the fluorescence emitted by the test sample to pass through, and is made of a translucent material that does not emit fluorescence and does not chemically react with the sample when irradiated with excitation light.
- the light-transmitting material may be a material that allows excitation light to pass through or absorbs it.
- the window plate and the bottom plate are bonded to the container main body, it is preferable that the window plate and the bottom plate are made of mutually compatible materials in order to increase the strength of the bonded portion.

Then, a laser beam is irradiated to form a welded portion 163 at the interface between the first stepped portion 157 and the window plate 159 and fixed in a liquid-tight manner.
- FIG. 21C after the bottom plate 1 161 is inserted into the third through hole 155 to bring the bottom plate 1 161 into contact with the second step 157 as well, the bottom plate 1161 is laser-fired using a laser welder.
- a storage container 151 shown in FIG. 21D is manufactured by irradiating light and forming a welded portion 164 at the interface between the second stepped portion 158 and the bottom plate 161 and fixing it in a liquid-tight manner.
- the joint between the members needs to be arranged at a position where the excitation light is not irradiated. There is no problem even with bonding using an adhesive, but there is a risk that the bonding agent is compressed at the time of bonding so that it may come out in an area through which excitation light passes. For this reason, it is preferable to use welding instead of adding an adhesive element in terms of manufacturing management.
- the black polycarbonate is used as the container body 156.
- Tote PCSM—PS600 manufactured by Takiron

Similarly, during the period of 150 to 600 sec from the excitation light irradiation. Fluorescence was measured. As a result, the background level was observed in the fluorescence measurement value, and it was confirmed that the S / N deteriorated. This noise seems to be caused by scattered light.
- a space where the excitation light is not irradiated remains in the reaction tube portion that stores the specimen as the sample. That is, since the surface of the container body on the excitation light irradiation side is shielded by the bowl-shaped part of the container body, a part of the specimen sample is not irradiated with the excitation light and does not contribute to the quantitative analysis of the substance. . When analyzing a small amount of specimen such as blood, it is desirable that all specimens be measured.

- the non-translucent member When irradiating the laser beam, the non-translucent member is irradiated with the laser beam transmitted through the translucent member. This prevents the weld from being formed inside the reaction tube. Further, the welded portion can be formed at a position where it is not exposed to the light beam of the excitation light.
- a material having a refractive index higher than that of air is used as the translucent material, so that excitation light or excitation light is used.
- a part of the fluorescence generated by the specimen sample force due to irradiation may be totally reflected and confined inside the member, and the amount of light measured by the light receiving element may not increase.
- fluorescence may be generated to cause disturbance.
- the outer surface of the region facing the internal space of the cell is prevented so that the total reflection or internal confinement is not caused by the members constituting the cell. It is effective to extract the fluorescent light outside by confining the surface with irregularities such as a Fresnel lens shape and a cylindrical lens shape.

- the fluorescence measurement time zone to be measured may change due to changes in the target protein and the associated fluorescent dye. .
- the fluorescence after 400 to 800 seconds is measured. If this is changed, the angular interval between the excitation light source and the fluorescence receiver is enlarged or reduced, or the fluorescence reception range of the fluorescence receiver is changed. Zoom in or out. If only the delay time until the start of excitation force measurement becomes a problem, it is possible to change the angular velocity by lowering the rotational speed of the rotating shaft.
- the fluorescence receiver needs to measure fluorescence in a predetermined angular range, it is necessary to have an optical system that takes into account the lighting of the surface light source power when this angular range becomes wide. is there.
