Abstract:
Container for nucleic acid extraction (2) comprising nucleic acid extraction element (20) for extracting of a target nucleic acid from a sample and for adhesion of the extracted nucleic acid and, provided separate from the nucleic acid extraction element (20), a container frame equipped with accommodation vessel (27) for accommodating of the nucleic acid extraction element (20). The nucleic acid extraction element (20) is constructed so as to include, for example, solid matrix (23) for carrying of the target nucleic acid and holding member (20) for holding of the solid matrix (23). Preferably, the solid matrix (23) is held in a form sloping against the vertical axis of the holding member (20).
Abstract:
An optical analyzing assembly for a test piece (A) having an obverse surface and a reverse surface, the obverse surface carrying at least one test pad. The analyzing assembly comprising a first illuminator (35) for illuminating the obverse surface of the test piece (A) and a light receiving device (36) for receiving light reflected on the obverse surface of the test piece (A). Characterized in that a second illuminator (39) is provided for illuminating the reverse surface of the test piece (A) for locating the test pad and wherein the light receiving device (36) also serves to receive light which is emitted from the second illuminator (39) and passes through the test piece (A).
Abstract:
A linearizing correction unit (104) carries out a linearizing correction process on the output of an image sensor (8) based upon linearizing correction data stored in a linearizing correction data holding unit (102), and a light-irregularity correction unit (108) carries out a light-irregularity correction process on the image sensor output that has been subjected to the linearizing correction process based upon light-irregularity correction data stored in a light-irregularity correction data holding unit (106). A refection factor calculation unit (110) calculates an integral value of the in-plane reflection factor of a test piece by using the output that has been subjected to the linearizing correction and light-irregularity correction with respect to pixel outputs of the image sensor (8) obtained when the test piece having in-plane density irregularities is measured. A quantifying unit (114) applies calibration curve data of a calibration-curve-data holding unit (112) to the integrated reflection factor obtained by the reflection factor calculation unit so that a sample density of the test piece is calculated.

Abstract:
A tool for analyzing a specimen having a sufficient volume of information, and being capable of providing the information accurately and reading out that information without requiring any special mechanism. In the tool (1) for analyzing a specimen having a reagent layer (11) and an information recording layer (12) formed on a substrate (13), the information recording layer is divided into one or a plurality of regions and each region is colored with a single color. Information is recorded by at least one of a combination of gray levels of single color in the plurality of regions and the area of each region.
