Abstract:
1. A detection device for an intermolecular interaction, comprising: a detector having a ligand; a white light source emitting white light; a spectrometer to detect a spectral intensity of received light; a light transmission unit including a first optical transmission path for transmitting the white light from the white light source to the detector, a second optical transmission path for transmitting reflected light of the white light from the detector to the spectrometer and a third optical transmission path for transmitting the white light from the white light source to the spectrometer; a switching unit switching between a reflected light receiving state which allows the reflected light of the white light at the detector to be transmitted to the spectrometer via the second optical transmission paths and a white light receiving state which allows the white light from the white light source to be transmitted to the spectrometer via the third optical transmission path; and a controller controlling the switching unit and the spectrometer to detect the spectral intensities in the white light receiving state and in the reflected light receiving state.
