PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection device and a detection method that can improve the measurement accuracy of the temporal concentration of an analyte, while reducing a burden on a living body due to measurement.SOLUTION: A detection device 10 of the present invention detects a concentration of an analyte by using a fluorescent substance emitting a fluorescent light based on the concentration of the analyte by reacting with the analyte in the living body and receiving an excitation light. The detection device 10 includes: a light emitting element 11 for irradiating the fluorescent substance placed in the living body with the excitation light a light receiving element 12 for receiving the fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent substance irradiated with the excitation light a receiving portion 13 for receiving a protrusion formed on the surface of the living body by placing a fluorescent carrier for supporting the fluorescent substance in the living body and a positioning portion 14 for positioning the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 to the protrusion received to the receiving portion 13.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】計測による生体への負担を軽減しつつ、経時的なアナライトの濃度の計測精度の向上を図ることができる検知装置および検知方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の検知装置10は、生体内のアナライトと反応し励起光を受けてアナライトの濃度に応じた蛍光を発する蛍光物質を利用して、アナライトの濃度を検知する検知装置10であって、生体内に留置された蛍光物質に励起光を照射する発光素子11と、励起光が照射された蛍光物質から発せられる蛍光を受光する受光素子12と、蛍光物質を担持する蛍光担体が生体内に留置されることにより生体の表面に形成された凸部を受容する受容部13と、受容部13に受容された凸部に対して、発光素子11および受光素子12を位置決めする位置決め部14と、を有する。【選択図】図1
