Abstract:
1. A strip-shaped detector detecting an analyte in a liquid sample, the detector comprising: a collecting member directly collecting the liquid sample from a living organism; a holding member including a labeling reagent binding specifically to the analyte, the labeling reagent being held in a state where the labeling reagent can move along with the movement of the liquid sample; a detecting member including a detection reagent capturing a complex of the analyte and the labeling reagent by binding specifically to the analyte, and the detection reagent being immobilized; an absorbing member being capable of absorbing the liquid sample; a liquid-impermeable supporting member, and an adhesive member, wherein the collecting member, the holding member, the detecting member, and the absorbing member are arranged in order on the liquid-impermeable supporting member in a longitudinal direction of the detector so that the liquid sample moves through the inside of these members in the above order of the members from an upstream side to a downstream side by capillarity, the collecting member includes a protruding portion sticking out of the liquid-impermeable supporting member at the upstream side in the movement direction of the liquid sample, and the adhesive member has: an adhesive face adhering to and covering an end portion of the downstream side of the detecting member, the absorbing member, and the end portion of the downstream side of the liquid-impermeable supporting member, a non-adhesive face at the opposite side from the adhesive face adhering to the respective members, and a pick-up portion provided at the end portion of the downstream side of the adhesive member configured to enable a user to hold the pick-up portion to pick up the strip-shaped detector, the pick-up portion comprising folded portions of the adhesive member folded such that adhesive faces in the folded portions adhere to each other.
