Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an electrochemical sensor which is capable of securing an electrode area of a size such that sensor sensitivity can be sufficiently kept even when the entire size of the sensor is reduced, and increasing the electrode area even when the entire size of the sensor is not changed or the width of the sensor is not reduced by minimizing restrictions on tolerance required in the formation of an electrode, and to provide an electrochemical sensor.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing an electrochemical sensor for measuring a substance contained in a specimen includes: forming, on the top surface of a conductive first layer formed on a substrate, a second layer giving a predetermined function to the first layer, and removing the first layer and second layer on the substrate from the top surface side of the second layer according to a regulated pattern to thereby form an electrode and a lead on the substrate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid agitating device and a liquid agitating method capable of agitating a liquid more certainly while evading complicating a mechanism unreasonably.SOLUTION: The liquid agitating device includes: an agitating tank 230 that has a connection port 235; a measurement channel 240 connected to the connection port 235; and a pump 400 as a reciprocating flow generating means for reciprocating a specimen 700 between an agitating layer 230 and the measurement channel 240 across the connection port 235.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a chip for plasma generation, a plasma generator, and a plasma spectrometry method, having high reproducibility of plasma light emission without a requirement of a discharge unit for removing air bubbles. The chip for plasma generation of the present invention includes a channel, the channel has a first region, a narrow portion, and a second region, the narrow portion is in communication with the first region and the second region and has a cross-sectional area smaller than the first region and the second region, and the chip satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) and (2): (1) at least one of the inner walls of the first region and the second region has a groove portion; and (2) the chip includes a cathode fixed on the inner wall of the first region.
