Method for conducting receptor-ligand association reaction and reactor used therefor
First Claim
1. A method for conducting a receptor-ligand association reaction comprising steps of holding a biochemical analysis unit formed with a plurality of absorptive regions spaced apart from each other and containing receptors or ligands in a reaction vessel covered by a jacket whose temperature can be controlled, and forcibly feeding a reaction solution containing a ligand or receptor labeled with a labeling substance so as to cut through the plurality of absorptive regions formed in the biochemical analysis unit, thereby selectively associating the ligand or receptor contained in the reaction solution with the receptors or ligands contained in the plurality of absorptive regions of the biochemical analysis unit.

Abstract
A method for conducting a receptor-ligand association reaction includes the steps of holding a biochemical analysis unit formed with a plurality of absorptive regions spaced apart from each other and containing receptors or ligands in a reaction vessel covered by a jacket whose temperature can be controlled, and forcibly feeding a reaction solution containing a ligand or receptor labeled with a labeling substance so as to cut through the plurality of absorptive regions formed in the biochemical analysis unit, thereby selectively associating the ligand or receptor contained in the reaction solution with the receptors or ligands contained in the plurality of absorptive regions of the biochemical analysis unit. According to this method, it is possible to efficiently associate a ligand or receptor with receptors or ligands fixed in the absorptive regions of the biochemical analysis unit and produce biochemical analysis data having an excellent quantitative characteristic with good repeatability.
