In one embodiment of the present invention, a first test tube including
therein a dehydrated sample containing a sugar chain and a labeling agent
solution made of 2-aminopyridine/acetic acid are stored in a well-closed
container with the first test tube and the labeling agent solution
secluded from each other. The labeling agent solution is heated, and the
2-aminopyridine is evaporated so as to be in contact with the sugar
chain, thereby obtaining a pyridylamination sugar chain from the sugar
chain. As a result, it is possible to provide the saccharide fluorescence
labeling apparatus and the saccharide fluorescence labeling method
whereby it is possible to simplify and ensure an operation for reacting
saccharide into the pyridylamination sugar chain.
