ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, a target substance detection material, which includes a metal structure, a target substance capturing unit, and a polymer matrix retaining the metal structure and the target substance capturing unit, captures a target substance, and as a result, the volume of the polymer matrix is changed. Such a change in the volume of the polymer matrix is measured as a change in the optical properties of the metal structure, and the target is detected. Thereby, the present invention provides a target substance detection material having good operability and high performance, which includes a metal structure as a labeled form, and a target substance detection method for detecting the presence or absence of a target substance in a specimen and/or the concentration thereof, using the material.
