TARGET BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE IDENTIFICATION METHOD, BEADS FOR TARGET BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE IDENTIFICATION USE, SET OF BEADS, AND TARGET BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE IDENTIFICATION DEVICE

摘要

A method for identifying a target biological molecule includes a step (a) of bringing a sample containing a biological molecule into contact with a plurality of beads on which a ligand capable of binding to one of a plurality of target biological molecules, and a nucleic acid for bead identification which has a specific sequence for each type of the ligand are immobilized; a step (b) of arranging the plurality of beads which have been brought into contact with the sample in each of individual reaction vessels for each bead; a step (c) of adding a reagent necessary for a nucleic acid elongation reaction to the reaction vessel in which the bead is arranged; a step (d) of performing the nucleic acid elongation reaction in the reaction vessel in which the bead is arranged; a step (e) of measuring an amount of protons generated in each of the reaction vessels during the nucleic acid elongation reaction; a step (f) of determining the occurrence or non-occurrence of nucleic acid elongation in each of the reaction vessels based on the amount of protons generated; and a step (g) of performing a nucleic acid elongation reaction in the reaction vessel in which the bead is arranged using the nucleic acid for bead identification as a template, identifying the sequence of the nucleic acid for bead identification for each reaction vessel based on the amount of protons generated in each reaction vessel during the nucleic acid elongation reaction using the nucleic acid for bead identification as a template, and identifying the type of the ligand for each reaction vessel based on the sequence of the nucleic acid for bead identification identified for each reaction vessel.
