Abstract
There is provided a biosensor chip where the collecting amount necessary for the measurement is made small whereby burden of a user is reduced and, at the same time, a sample at a puncture opening is able to be easily collected and measured without an operation of making the sample collection opening nearer the puncture opening. When an end of a main body chip is pushed onto a test body, an elastic body installed at an end of the main body chip is compressed and a device for puncture is produced whereby the test body is able to be punctured. When the pushing force is made weak, the device for puncture is pulled out from the test body due to resilience of the elastic body and a sample is flown out from the puncture opening. At that time, since the puncture opening and the sample collection opening installed in the main body chip are enclosed in a tightly-closed space formed by the elastic body, even small amount of the sample is able to be easily collected by the sample collection opening without conducting the positioning of the sample collection opening.

8. A biosensor chip comprising:
-
a chip main body, including substrate plates located opposite each other and a spacer layer sandwiched by the substrate plates, electrodes for detection formed on a surface of at least one of the substrate plates on the spacer layer side, a device for puncture fixed to an end of the chip main body, a hollow reaction area, defined by the spacer layer and the substrate plate to which the electrodes for detection are exposed, in which a sample collection opening is formed at a front end for the introduction of a collected sample, and a reagent that reacts with the sample is arranged immediately above or in the vicinity of the electrodes for detection, and an elastic body installed at the end of the chip main body. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
