Abstract:
An input receiving unit receives a query to a database from a user, creates a user query for searching information in accordance with the query of the user. A query generating unit generates a database query for actually searching in accordance with the user query or a re-search query for re-searching information. A searching un it executes a search of information in accordance with the database query. A condition setting unit has an analyzing condition and an output condition. An analyzin g unit analyzes an information searching result in accordance with the analyzing condition supplied from the condition setting unit. An output control unit outputs an information analyzing result as output information in accordance with the output conditi on supplied from the condition setting unit, creates the re-search query by using the information analyzing result, and supplies the re-search query to the query generating unit.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometry system capable of recovering specific components from a specimen in high densities and performing a solvent displacement. A separati on device (100) is installed on a microchip and incorporates a flow passage (11 2) for flowing the specific components therein. The flow passage (112) is forme d of a specimen inlet flow passage (300), a filtrate discharge flow passage (302) branched from the specimen inlet flow passage (300), and a specimen recovering part (308) branched from the specimen inlet flow passage. A filte r (304) stopping the passage of the specific components is installed at the inlet of the filtrate discharge flow passage (302) from the specimen inlet flow passage (300). A damming area (hydrophobic area) (306) stopping the ent ry of liquid specimen and allowing the liquid specimen to be passed by an external force of a specified value or more provided thereto is installed at the inlet of the specimen recovering part (308) from the specimen inlet flow passage (300).
Abstract:
A substrate (101) is provided with a channel (103), and a drying section (10 7) having many columnar bodies (105) is formed at one end of the channel (103). The top of the channel (103) except the portion above the drying section (10 7) is covered with a covering (109). A sample supplied into the channel (103) moves to the drying section (107) due to capillary phenomenon. The drying section (107) is heated with a heater (111), so that the solvent is evaporated, thereby concentrating and drying the solute.
Abstract:
The method of displaying sequences of the present invention adds visual characteristics in accordance with the mutations and/or similarities in a plurality of similar nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences. These visual characteristics are added to regions of mutation and/or regions of similarit y, and further, are added in accordance with the degree of mutation and/or similari ty and in accordance with the frequency of mutation in the regions of mutation. In addition, nucleotide sequences are converted to amino acid sequences, and th e visual characteristics are added based on amino acid information that includ es the names or properties of amino acids that correspond to codons of the regions of mutation. Links are provided to information that relates to a plurality o f similar nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences. The homology search method of the present invention uses this sequence display method to display search results.
Abstract:
A liquid sample (104) introduced in a main flow passage (101) is held in a d am portion (105), and a trigger liquid (106) is filled in a trigger flow passag e (102). In this state, the trigger liquid (106) is further introduced at desired timing into the trigger flow passage (102) so that the front end portion of the level of the trigger liquid (106) is advanced and the front e nd portion is brought to be into contact with the dam portion (105). This cause s the liquid sample (104) to move to the right (downstream side) in the figure , resulting in the liquid sample (104) flowing out to the downstream side of t he main flow passage (101). This means that the trigger liquid (106) provides priming to realize a liquid switch.
Abstract:
Provided is a spectroscopic analysis apparatus, a spectroscopic analysis method, and a disperse analysis program capable of appropriately analyzing a sample. The spectroscopic analysis apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a light source (13) that generates light incident on a sample including a plurality of substances labeled by a plurality of labeled substances; a spectrometer (14) that disperses observed light generated in the sample by the light incident on the sample; a detector (15) that detects the observed light dispersed by the spectrometer (14) to output observed spectral data; and a processor (16) that analyzes the plurality of substances included in the sample based on the observed spectral data output from the detector (15), the processor (16) analyzing the substances included in the sample using a generalized inverse of a matrix including, as an element, reference spectrum data set for the plurality of labeled substances.
Abstract:
An microchip contributing to improving precision in analysis is provided, since individual identification with DNA is used in criminal investigation, thus an excellent precision in analysis is required. The microchip comprises a PCR section, a denaturing section, and an electrophoresis section. In the PCR section, a desired region in DNA is amplified. In the denaturing section, PCR amplicon of double-strand DNA is denatured into single-strand DNA. In the electrophoresis section, the PCR amplicon is separated based on the length of sequence.
Abstract:
In a sample heating method which uses a microchip, using the microchip which includes a vessel portion (70e) in which at least a portion is configured of an elastic member and a flow channel (61b) which leads a liquid sample to the vessel portion (70e), after a liquid sample is put in the vessel portion (70e), the liquid sample is heated while pressure is applied with respect to an inner portion of the vessel portion (70e).
