Abstract

The immunochromatographic assay apparatus includes a loading part in which a cartridge including a carrier having a spotting region and an assay region, is loaded, an imaging unit that images the assay region, and a processor that performs a main determination based on an assay region image wherein in a case where a development direction of the sample in the carrier is a row direction and a direction intersecting the row direction is a column direction, the assay region is a line-shaped region extending along the column direction, the assay region image is an image in which a plurality of pixels are two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix form, and the processor is configured to perform the main determination using residual pixels excluding one or more high-density pixels having a relatively high density in each column of the assay region image.
