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.
