Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an assay cartridge capable of improving the throughput of the assay by shortening the time until the bubbles generated in the assay region disappear as compared with the prior art. The assay cartridge includes an assay strip that has, on the surface thereof, an assay region in which a color development state changes depending on whether a sample is positive or negative, an accommodating part that accommodates an amplifying liquid that amplifies the color development of the assay region, and the assay cartridge that is supplied from the accommodating part, an absorber that absorbs at least a part of the amplifying liquid which flows on the surface of the assay strip toward the assay region and has passed through the assay region.
