Abstract:
1. An immunochromatography method, which comprises: developing an analyte and a label substance modified with a first binding substance that binds to the analyte or a label substance modified with a compound having a portion similar to the analyte on a first insoluble carrier in a state where the analyte and the label substance are mixed; and capturing the analyte and the label substance at a reaction zone on the first insoluble carrier having a second binding substance that binds to the analyte or a substance having ability to bind to the first binding substance that binds to the analyte, so as to detect the analyte, the method being characterized in that, after the analyte has been developed, a washing solution is developed on the carrier for washing such that an angle of 45 to 170 degree is made between the developing direction of the analyte and the developing direction of the washing solution, and detecting the analyte.
