To provide a technique for confirming that objective particles have been recovered in single cell analysis.SOLUTION: The present technique provides a particle confirmation method including: an association process of associating identification information that particles captured by wells in a particle capturing region have with positional information of the wells; a discharging process of discharging the particles from the wells; an identification information acquiring process of acquiring the identification information of the particles after the discharging process; and a confirmation process of confirming the positions of the wells which have captured the particles on the basis of the acquired identification information. Further, the present technique also provides a particle capturing chip and a particle analysis system in order to perform the method.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】単一細胞解析において目的粒子が回収されたことを確認するための技術を提供すること。【解決手段】本技術は、粒子捕捉領域中のウェルに捕捉された粒子が有する識別情報と前記ウェルの位置情報とを関連付ける関連付け工程と、前記粒子をウェルから排出する排出工程と、前記排出工程後に前記粒子の識別情報を取得する識別情報取得工程と、取得された前記識別情報に基づいて前記粒子が捕捉されたウェルの位置を確認する確認工程と、を含む粒子確認方法を提供する。また、本技術は、当該方法を行うために用いられる粒子捕捉用チップ及び粒子分析システムも提供する。【選択図】図１
