1. A method for filling an analytical device, comprising:
providing a plate having at least one detection space and a plurality of ports communicating with the detection space;
fitting, into one of the plurality of ports in a first substrate, an adapter having a reagent fixed on an inner wall of the adapter such that a first end of the adapter is fitted into the one of the plurality of ports in the first substrate; and
delivering a sample solution into the at least one detection space of the plate through the adapter such that the sample solution and the reagent fill the at least one detection space of the plate,
wherein the plate comprises the first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a side wall extending between the first and second substrates such that the plate has the at least one detection space formed between the second substrate and the first substrate and that the first substrate has the plurality of ports communicated with the at least one detection space, at least one of the first and second substrates comprises a transparent material such that the at least one detection space is observable from outside the plate, and the plurality of ports includes a first port configured to deliver a liquid-containing substance into the at least one detection space, and a second port configured to discharge the liquid-containing substance or a gas from the at least one detection space.
