Abstract:
An apparatus for producing metal oxide nanofibers includes a jetting unit, a mixing unit, a heating unit, and a cooling unit. The jetting unit jets particles made of a metal. The mixing unit prepares a mixture by mixing the metal particles and a gas containing an oxidizing component that includes oxygen in molecules of the component. The heating unit heats the mixture to raise the temperature of the mixture up to a temperature at which the metal evaporates. The cooling unit cools the product thus-produced in the heating unit.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve productivity of a cell electrophysiological sensor. SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing the cell electrophysiological sensor includes steps of: irradiating a sensor chip 16 having a through-hole 15 mounted on a mounting substrate 17 or the sensor chip 16 having the through-hole 15 before mounted on the mounting substrate 17 with light from a light source 11 to acquire optical information transmitted through the through-hole 15 of the sensor chip 16 by an optical information acquisition means 12; individually making the optical information acquired during the prior step into a brightness value in a minimum unit by an optical information processing means 13; and determining whether a shape of the through-hole 15 is good in the atmosphere by a structure pattern including the minimum unit of a standard value or larger of the brightness value obtained during the prior step. Thus, the shape of the through-hole 15 of the cell electrophysiological sensor 14 can be simply and quickly inspected. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a cell electrophysiologic sensor of high measuring precision.SOLUTION: The cell electrophysiologic sensor is equipped with a mounting substrate 8 and the sensor chips 9 held to the lower end parts of the through-holes piercing the mounting substrate 8 from the upper surface to the undersurface thereof. Each of the sensor chips 9 has a continuity hole 12 for allowing the upper surface side of the mounting substrate 8 to communicate with the undersurface side thereof, and first and second grooves 19 and 20 are formed to the undersurface of the mounting substrate 8 at the contact part with the liquid flowing the lower part of the mounting substrate 8 so as not to be parallel to each other. By this constitution, the cell electrophysiologic sensor of high measuring precision can be realized.
