The disclosed magnetic
immunoassay device, which performs magnetic immunoassays using
antigen-
antibody reactions, can perform speedy immunoassays without bound / free separation in the test samples. The device is also practical, being capable of stable
magnetism measurement without magnetic shielding. The disclosed magnetic
immunoassay device is provided with: an
excitation coil that uses an AC
magnetic field to magnetize a
test sample containing a
magnetic marker; a
magnetism sensor that measures
magnetism in the
test sample and outputs a magnetism
signal; and a displacement sensor for detecting changes in the distance between the
test sample and the magnetism sensor. By optimally setting the bandwidth of a lock-in
amplifier, which detects changes in the phase of the magnetism
signal outputted by the magnetism sensor, and the rotational speed produced by a drive
system, which moves the test sample at low speeds, the
impact of environment
magnetic noise is reduced, and correcting the magnetism
signal using distance information obtained from the displacement sensor allows stable magnetism measurement.
