Patent ID: 7348587

Claim:
A method for producing biochemical analysis data comprising: collecting light selectively released from a plurality of light releasable regions two-dimensionally formed to be spaced apart from each other in a sample placed on a sample stage by a plurality of light guide member each of which is disposed to face one of the plurality of light releasable regions, leading the thus collected light to a light detector and photoelectrically detecting the light by the light detector, wherein the sample is constituted by a stimulable phosphor sheet including a support two-dimensionally formed with a plurality of through-holes to be spaced apart from each other and the plurality of light releasable regions are constituted by a plurality of stimulable phosphor layer regions formed by charging stimulable phosphor in the plurality of through-holes formed in the support and selectively storing radiation energy or the energy of chemiluminescence in the stimulable phosphor regions, the radiation energy or the energy of chemiluminescence being selectively stored in the stimulable phosphor layer regions by providing a biochemical analysis unit including a substrate two-dimensionally formed with a plurality of through-holes to be spaced apart from each other in the same pattern as that of the through-holes formed in the support of the stimulable phosphor sheet and a plurality of absorptive regions formed by charging an absorptive material in the plurality of through-holes formed in the substrate of the biochemical analysis unit, and selectively labeled with a radioactive labeling substance or a labeling substance which generates chemiluminescence emission when it contacts a chemiluminescent substrate and superposing the stimulable phosphor sheet and the biochemical analysis unit so that each of the stimulable phosphor layer regions formed in the support of the stimulable phosphor sheet faces a corresponding absorptive region formed in the substrate of the biochemical analysis unit, thereby selectively exposing the stimulable phosphor layer regions of the stimulable phosphor sheet to the radioactive labeling substance or the labeling substance which generates chemiluminescence emission when it contacts a chemiluminescent substrate.
