To efficiently purify a target position.SOLUTION: A purification method according to one embodiment includes the steps of: irradiating a measurement region with excitation light (S100); detecting fluorescence from the measurement region (S102); measuring an amount of amino acid in the measurement region on the basis of intensity of the fluorescence (S104); and, when the amount of amino acid exceeds a first threshold (Yes at S106), discharging an agent toward the measurement region (S108).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12【課題】目的位置の浄化を効率良く行う。【解決手段】本開示の一態様に係る浄化方法は、測定領域に励起光を照射し(S100)、測定領域からの蛍光を検出し(S102)、蛍光の強度に基づいて、測定領域に含まれるアミノ酸の量を測定し(S104)、アミノ酸の量が第1閾値を超えた場合に(S106でYes)、測定領域に向けて薬剤を放出する(S108)。【選択図】図12
