- the SPFS apparatus 100 can remove most of the plasmon scattered light ⁇ , which is a noise component at the time of fluorescence ⁇ detection, and can detect the detection target substance with high accuracy and can cut the excitation light. Without retracting the filter 123, the transmitted plasmon scattered light ⁇ can be detected by the light receiving sensor 125 to determine the enhancement angle. If such an effect can be exhibited, the transmittance of the plasmon scattered light ⁇ of the excitation light cut filter 123 is not particularly limited, but is preferably more than 0.005% and less than 1%.
- the excitation light cut filter 123 transmits the plasmon scattered light ⁇ so that the amount of plasmon scattered light ⁇ with respect to the amount of autofluorescence emitted from the detection chip 10 is more than 0.5 times and less than 100 times. Is preferred.
- Examples of the type of the excitation light cut filter 123 include a reflective filter in which a dielectric multilayer film is disposed on one side or both sides.
- the dielectric multilayer film can be formed by alternately and repeatedly laminating a layer made of a high refractive index material and a layer made of a low refractive index material. At this time, a filter having desired transmission characteristics can be obtained by appropriately setting the thickness and number of each layer.
- Examples of the high refractive index material include oxides such as Ti, Nb, Ta, and La (eg, TiO 2 , Nb 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5, etc.).
- Examples of the low refractive index material include oxides such as Si and Al (for example, SiO 2 ).
- the excitation light cut filter 123 can be manufactured.
- the reflectance of light having the same wavelength as the excitation light ⁇ (for example, 660 nm) is 99% or more.
- the reflectance of light (for example, 690 nm) having a wavelength 30 nm larger than the wavelength of the excitation light ⁇ is several percent or less.
- excitation light cut filter 123 includes an absorption filter made of colored glass.
- transmission near a cutoff wavelength a wavelength indicating a boundary between a wavelength band where the excitation light ⁇ is absorbed by the excitation light cut filter 123 and a wavelength band where the excitation light ⁇ is transmitted. It is difficult to raise the rate sharply. For this reason, the light shielding property of the excitation light ⁇ of the transmission filter is inferior to that of the reflection filter.
- the excitation light cut filter 123 transmits a part of the plasmon scattered light ⁇ . For this reason, in the SPFS device 100 according to the present embodiment, an inexpensive colored glass filter can be used although the light shielding property is inferior.
- the light receiving sensor 125 detects the light emitted from the detection chip 10.
- examples of the type of the light receiving sensor 125 include a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and an avalanche photodiode (APD) having high sensitivity and SN ratio.
- PMT photomultiplier tube
- APD avalanche photodiode
- a photodiode (PD) that is not highly sensitive may be used as the light receiving sensor 125. From the viewpoint of miniaturization and cost reduction of the SPFS device 100, it is preferable to use a PD.
- the output value from the light receiving sensor 125 is proportional to the amount of received light, the light receiving sensitivity, and the amplification magnification.
- 2A and 2B are conceptual graphs showing the detection accuracy of PMT and PD.
- FIG. 2A is a conceptual graph showing the relationship between the output value from the light receiving sensor 125 and the standard deviation (variation) ⁇ of the detected value.
- the range of the signal value S in FIG. 2B shows the range when the standard deviation ⁇ of PD is smaller than the standard deviation ⁇ of PMT in FIG. 2A. 2A and 2B, the broken line indicates the PMT, and the solid line indicates the PD.
- the standard deviation ⁇ is small when the output value is small, but the standard deviation ⁇ increases as the output value increases. For this reason, the variation coefficient CV ( ⁇ / S) does not decrease so much even if the signal value S increases.
- the standard deviation ⁇ is large in the region where the signal value S is very small, but the increase rate of the standard deviation ⁇ is small. As the value increases, it decreases dramatically. For this reason, if the signal value S from the light receiving sensor 125 is increased, more accurate measurement can be performed when the PD is used compared to when the PMT is used.
- the optical blank value B is larger than the signal value S as shown in FIG. 2B (S / B has become smaller), the increase rate of the PD coefficient of variation CV is smaller than that of the PMT coefficient of variation CV. For this reason, even if the optical blank value B becomes larger than the signal value S (S / B becomes smaller), the case where PD is used is more accurate than the case where PMT is used. You can make measurements.
- the amplification magnification is set to 1000 times that when PMT is used.
- the amount of excitation light ⁇ is set to 20 to 50 times that when PMT is used.
- the size of the irradiation spot of the excitation light ⁇ on one surface of the metal film 30 is the same as the light receiving sensor 125 on the other surface of the metal film 30 (surface facing the first lens 122). It adjusts so that it may become smaller than the size of the detection area. By doing in this way, even if the irradiation spot is slightly displaced due to the error of each parameter of the prism 20, it is possible to prevent the irradiation spot from deviating from the detection region.
- the control unit 130 centrally performs control of each driving unit, quantification of the amount of light received by the light receiving sensor 125, and the like.
- the control unit 130 includes a light source control unit 131 that controls the light source unit 111, a light receiving sensor control unit 132 that controls the light receiving sensor 125, and a control processing unit 133.
- the control processing unit 133 comprehensively controls the angle adjustment unit 112, the light source control unit 131, and the light receiving sensor control unit 132, and controls the operation of the entire SPFS apparatus 100.
- the control unit 130 is, for example, a computer that executes software.
- control unit 130 determines a predetermined incident angle (in the present embodiment, an enhancement angle) based on the detection result of the plasmon scattered light ⁇ by the light receiving sensor 125, and the angle
- the adjusting unit 112 is controlled to adjust the incident angle of the excitation light ⁇ with respect to the metal film 30 (deposition surface 22) during fluorescence detection.
- the chip holder 140 holds the detection chip 10 at a predetermined position.

次に、SPFS装置100の検出動作について説明する。図3は、SPFS装置100の動作手順の一例を示すフローチャートである。
以上のように、本実施の形態に係るSPFS装置100では、検出チップ10から放出され、励起光カットフィルター123を透過したプラズモン散乱光βの一部の光を利用して、増強角を決定することができる。このため、本実施の形態に係るSPFS装置100では、励起光カットフィルター123を受光光学系121の光路上から退避させることなく、増強角を決定することができる。したがって、本実施の形態に係るSPFS装置100では、従来のSPFS装置(特許文献2参照)のように励起光カットフィルター123の位置を切替える機構が不要であり、検出装置の小型化および低コスト化を実現することができる。また、本実施の形態に係る検出装置では、励起光カットフィルター123の位置を切替える工程が不要であるため、検出時間を短縮化することができる。
実施の形態2に係るSPFS装置200は、実施の形態1に係るSPFS装置100と同様に、励起光照射ユニット110、受光ユニット220、制御部130およびチップホルダー140を有する。実施の形態2に係るSPFS装置200は、受光ユニット220の構成のみが実施の形態1に係るSPFS装置100と異なる。そこで、本実施の形態では、受光ユニット220についてのみ説明する。
