PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the drawback of the conventional method for detecting living cells, which is a reduction in detection sensitivity due to an increase in background light, to provide a highly specific and real-time living cell. Provide a detection method. SOLUTION: In a method for detecting a living cell, which comprises adding a dye or a fluorescent enzyme substrate to a medium containing cells and detecting or measuring the dye or the fluorescence, the dye or the fluorescent enzyme cannot permeate a cell membrane, and A method comprising performing detection or measurement in the presence of an absorber that absorbs light emitted from a substrate. |
