Abstract:
A sensor includes: a first chamber; a first liquid supply port; an analyte trap; a first exhaust hole; a first flow channel connecting the first liquid supply port, the analyte trap, and the first exhaust hole; a second liquid supply port; a second exhaust hole; and a second flow channel connecting the second liquid supply port, the analyte trap, and the second exhaust hole. The first flow channel and the second flow channel overlap with each other by a predetermined length. In a closed state of the second exhaust hole, a first liquid is drawn into the first flow channel from the first liquid supply port and reaches the analyte trap. In the opened state of the second exhaust hole, a second liquid is drawn into the second flow channel from the second liquid supply port, passes through the analyte trap.

Claim (Index 1):
A sensor for analyzing an analyte comprising:\n a substrate; a first chamber positioned inside the substrate; a first liquid supply port which communicates between the first chamber and an outside of the substrate and through which a first liquid containing an analyte flows from the outside of the substrate to the first chamber; an analyte trap positioned inside the first chamber and structured to capture the analyte in the first liquid; a first exhaust hole which communicates between the first chamber and the outside of the substrate and through which a gas inside the first chamber flows to the outside of the substrate; a first flow channel positioned inside the first chamber and connecting the first liquid supply port, the analyte trap, and the first exhaust hole; a second liquid supply port which communicates between the first chamber and an outside of the first chamber and through which a second liquid containing a wash solution of the analyte trap flows from the outside of the first chamber to the first chamber; a second exhaust hole which communicates between the first chamber and the outside of the substrate and is switchable from a closed state to an opened state, and through which the gas inside the first chamber flows to the outside of the substrate in the opened state; and a second flow channel positioned inside the first chamber and connecting the second liquid supply port, the analyte trap, and the second exhaust hole, wherein the first liquid supply port and the first exhaust hole are arranged with the analyte trap interposed therebetween in the first flow channel, the second liquid supply port and the second exhaust hole are arranged with the analyte trap interposed therebetween in the second flow channel, the first flow channel and the second flow channel overlap with each other by a predetermined length in a region between the second liquid supply port and the analyte trap, the first liquid is drawn into the first flow channel from the first liquid supply port due to a capillary phenomenon along with discharge from the first exhaust hole and reaches the analyte trap in the closed state of the second exhaust hole, and the second liquid is drawn into the second flow channel from the second liquid supply port due to a capillary phenomenon along with discharge from the second exhaust hole, passes through the analyte trap, and removes the first liquid from the analyte trap in the opened state of the second exhaust hole.
