Claim:
1. An assay chip used in a light detection method for analyzing an analyte by detecting light output from a photoresponsive labeling substance that has bound to the analyte, the assay chip comprising: a pot for storing a sample solution and carrying out predetermined processing on the sample solution; a fluidic channel having a detection region for detecting light output from the photoresponsive labeling substance, and through which the sample solution flows down; an inlet for injecting the sample solution into the fluidic channel, and which is provided on the upstream side of the fluidic channel; and a suction opening for sucking, from the downstream side of the fluidic channel, the sample solution injected from the inlet, and which is provided on the downstream side of the fluidic channel; wherein at least a first reaction processing pot, which stores a photoresponsive labeling substance and performs a primary reaction process that binds the photoresponsive labeling substance and the analyte, is provided as the pot, and wherein the suction opening, the first reaction processing pot, and the inlet are provided on a one dimensional straight line in this order.
