The patent filed by Citizen Watch Co Ltd. describes a detection device and method for detecting bacteria, fungi, and other biologically related substances using composite particles made of a measured substance and a magnetic labeling substance. The device includes a container with a solution, magnets arranged to collect the composite particles at a specific region, an imaging unit to capture the particles, and a detecting unit to analyze the captured image. The method involves placing the solution and composite particles in the container, applying a magnetic field to collect the particles, capturing them through the imaging unit, and detecting them based on the captured image.
The device and method utilize magnets arranged at a higher position than the container, with pole faces of the same magnetic poles facing each other to collect the composite particles. The patent also includes variations in magnet shapes such as columnar, conical, pyramidal, or ring shapes, with tapered shapes at the imaging device sides. Additionally, a single magnet with a ring shape and inner and outer peripheral surfaces magnetized to different poles is described for particle collection. The patent emphasizes the importance of capturing the particles at a specific region with maximum magnetic field strength for accurate detection.
