Patent ID: 8597576

Claim:
An analyzer for fluorescence-labeling a glycan to be detected or a complex carbohydrate to be detected with or without purification, for measuring the binding state of the glycan or the complex carbohydrate and a protein thereby, and for analyzing the glycan to be detected or the complex carbohydrate to be detected, or a specimen containing the same, the analyzer including, a substrate comprising: a rectangle photoconductive base plate coated by a compound containing an active group to fix protein by an amino group thereof, plural open-topped reaction vessels arranged in a matrix with plural columns in a direction along a short side of the base plate and formed on a surface of the base plate, and plural spots of glycan binding proteins arranged in a matrix and immobilized on the surface of the base plate in the reaction vessel; a fluorescent labeling exciter, which excites fluorescent label by generating evanescent-waves on the surface of the substrate, comprising a pair of optical fibers arranged toward both right and left side end faces as long sides of the substrate to introduce a light symmetrically in a direction along the short side thereinto; and a fluorescent intensity measurer for measuring the intensity of fluorescence generated by the fluorescent labeling exciter on each of the spots of the glycan binding protein.
