Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe immobilization method in which probe modification is restricted.SOLUTION: A probe immobilization method for fixing a probe 14 onto a substrate 11 comprises the steps of: preparing a substrate 11 to which DNA 12 is coupled and a probe 14 to which DNA-coupled protein 13 is coupled; and fixing the probe 14 via the DNA 12 at the substrate 11. The DNA 12 is thus formed on the substrate 11, and the DNA 12 is coupled to a DNA-coupling domain, which is part of the DNA-coupled protein 13 coupled to the probe 14, allowing the probe 14 to be adsorbed and fixed to the substrate, thereby making it possible to restrict the probe 14 from being modified with change in pH and temperature in a chemical reaction.

This allows the probe 12 to be adsorbed and fixed to the substrate 11 in a natural reaction without any chemical reaction upon fixing the probe 12, thereby making it possible to restrict the probe 12 from being modified with change in pH and temperature in a chemical reaction.

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

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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a silicon structure having a large surface area and exhibiting magnetic characteristic which is used for recovering a target material in a bioscreening and uses silicon having high machinability, low melting point and low density. SOLUTION: The silicon structure 10 is provided with a base material 11 and a plurality of fibrous projecting materials 12 containing silicon dioxide as an essential component and directly joined to the surface of the base material 11 which contains silicon as an essential component. A magnetic body is supported by the fibrous projecting material 12. The surface area is increased by forming the plurality of the fibrous projecting materials 12 comprising silicon dioxide to be densely entangled and magnetic separation and highly efficient recovery are available by supporting the magnetic body 13 on the fibrous projecting materials 12.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-well plate with a high measurement accuracy.SOLUTION: A multi-well plate 100 is a plate 11 that has plural recesses 12 opened in the upper surface. At least the upper face of the plate 11 between a recess 12a and a neighboring recess 12b has the hydrophobic property higher than the bottom of the recesses 12. Therefore, a solution is prevented from mixing among the neighboring recesses. Thus the measurement accuracy is increased.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe immobilization method in which probe modification is restricted.SOLUTION: A probe immobilization method for fixing a probe 13 onto a substrate 11 comprises the steps of: preparing a substrate having a hydrophobic substrate surface and a probe having a hydrophobic portion at the end thereof; aligning the probe in parallel to an oil-water interface of a solution having the oil-water interface in at least part thereof; and dropping the solution to which the probe is aligned in parallel, onto the substrate having the hydrophobic substrate surface, to fix the probe onto the substrate. This allows the probe to be adsorbed and fixed to the substrate in a natural reaction without any chemical reaction upon fixing the probe, thereby making it possible to restrict the probe from being modified with change in pH and temperature in a chemical reaction.
