Abstract

The present invention provides a tool that can analyze a target in a sample by a simple operation and can be downsized and an analysis method using the tool. By inserting an analysis chip into an analysis device, a reaction of a sample and a reagent is analyzed. The analysis chip includes a parallel flow channel in which plural reaction flow channels are connected in parallel, and the axial direction of the parallel flow channel is a direction of inserting the analysis chip into the analysis device. The analysis device includes a main body case being a housing, including an insertion opening into which the analysis chip is to be inserted; and a void; a heating unit that causes a sample to thermally react with a reagent, the heating unit being disposed in the void at at least one of inner surfaces so as to face a parallel surface of the parallel flow channel of the analysis chip; a light source unit that emits light to the analysis chip, the light source unit being disposed in the void at least above or below a reaction flow channel located at at least one end of the parallel flow channel of the analysis chip and extended along the axial direction of the parallel flow channel; and a plurality of detection units that detect the thermal reactions, each detection unit being disposed in the void at a downstream side end in the insertion direction of the analysis chip so as to correspond to each reaction flow channel of the analysis chip.
