Claim 10:
11. A detection method by a detection apparatus, comprising:
treating a test substance contained in a specimen with a liquid;
detecting the test substance treated with the liquid;
opening a lid part of the detection apparatus;
biasing the lid part in an opening direction;
generating resistance against a biasing force in the opening direction at different timing during an opening motion of the lid part;
coupling a first regulator and a second regulator in a shaft direction of the first regulator;
engaging a protruding part of the first regulator with a first recessed part of the lid part and engaging a protruding part of the second regulator with a second recessed part of the lid part;
during an opening operation of the lid part, not reducing an opening speed of the lid part in a state in which the protruding part of the first regulator is positioned at a circumferentially intermediate part of the first recessed part and reducing the opening speed of the lid part in a state in which the protruding part of the first regulator is in contact with a circumferential end part of the first recessed part; and
during the opening operation of the lid part, not reducing the opening speed of the lid part in a state in which the protruding part of the second regulator is positioned at a circumferentially intermediate part of the second recessed part and reducing the opening speed of the lid part in a state in which the protruding part of the second regulator is in contact with a circumferential end part of the second recessed part.
