Analyzer for glycan or complex carbohydrate
First Claim
1. 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, andplural 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.

Abstract
An analyzer of the present invention for analyzing a glycan or a complex glycan includes a substrate, a fluorescent labeling excitation means and a fluorescent intensity measurement means. The substrate comprises a rectangle photoconductive base plate coated by a compound containing an active group to fix protein by an amino group thereof, one and more open-topped reaction vessel 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. The fluorescent labeling excitation means which excites fluorescent label by generating evanescent-waves on the surface of the substrate comprises a pair of optical fibers arranged toward the both side end faces of the right and left of the substrate to introduce a light thereinto.
