Abstract

With the object of providing an analysis method and analysis apparatus of liquid sample capable of forming a temperature environment in which all reactants can react with their respective specific target substances when a liquid sample is analyzed using a solid support on the surface of which are fixed multiple reactants each of which reacts with a specific target substance at a different reaction temperature, and capable of automating the series of operations from reaction to detection, in the liquid sample analysis method and analyzer of the present invention a liquid sample is analyzed by (a) a step of heating the liquid sample outside a reaction chamber to a temperature higher than any of the reaction temperatures of the reactants, (b) a step of introducing the liquid sample from outside the reaction chamber into the reaction chamber, (c) a step of discharging the liquid sample inside the reaction chamber from the reaction chamber, (d) a step of cooling the liquid sample inside the reaction chamber and/or the liquid sample outside the reaction chamber so that the temperature of the liquid sample passes through any of the reaction temperatures of the reactants, and (e) a step of retaining the liquid sample which has been cooled to each of the reaction temperatures of the reactants within the reaction chamber in order to achieve this object.
