A plurality of different kinds of reagents are supported at different
positions on a reagent layer. A humoral testing apparatus irradiates
measuring light which has a wavelength adapted to one of the plurality of
the reagent areas which forms a color, and detects the intensity of the
light reflected from the reagent areas with the photodetector with
respect to each of the reagents, and thus detects the optical densities
of the reagent areas.
