Claim:
1. A surface plasmon resonance fluorescence analysis method in which fluorescence which is emitted from a fluorescence material labelling a substance to be detected when the fluorescence material is excited by localized light based on surface plasmon resonance is detected to detect presence or an amount of the substance to be detected, the surface plasmon resonance fluorescence analysis method comprising: installing an analysis chip to a chip holder fixed to a conveyance stage, the analysis chip including a prism having an incidence surface and a film formation surface, a metal film disposed on the film formation surface, and a capturing body fixed on the metal film; obtaining location information of the analysis chip by irradiating the analysis chip installed to the chip holder with excitation light, and by detecting reflection light or transmission light of the excitation light; moving the analysis chip to a measurement position by moving the chip holder by the conveyance stage based on the location information; and irradiating the analysis chip disposed at the measurement position with the excitation light and detecting the fluorescence emitted from the fluorescence material labelling the substance to be detected captured by the capturing body.
