1. A method of analyzing a biological component comprising steps of:
- arranging an extraction medium holding device comprising an extraction medium holding part configured to be capable of holding an extraction medium for holding an extract extracted from a subject on the skin of the subject;
extracting said extract from the subject to said extraction medium held in said extraction medium holding part;
attaching a reaction cartridge comprising a reaction part allowing said extract to cause a prescribed reaction, configured to be detachable on said extraction medium holding part of said extraction medium holding device and to be capable of transferring said extraction medium held in said extraction medium holding part to said reaction part to said extraction medium holding part of said extraction medium holding device arranged on said skin;
transferring said extraction medium held in said extraction medium holding part to said reaction part;
detecting said extract from said prescribed reaction caused in said reaction part; and
analyzing a result of detecting said extract.
