Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a suppressor using one ion-exchange tube which has an inner diameter close to that of a tube connected to a separation column and which is constituted by an ion-exchange membrane. The ion-exchange tube is folded or wound more than once in a plane into a sheet form to provide an ion-exchange tube sheet through which an eluate from a separation column flows. The ion-exchange tube sheet is accommodated in a container. The container provides a regenerant flow channel so that a regenerant is allowed to flow on both sides of the ion-exchange tube sheet.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily find an object and reduce an observation time even if a sample has the object with a low concentration. SOLUTION: A probe 12a is preferably used and wholly scans a substrate on which a DNA is placed. When the probe 12a detects the DNA, a region in which the DNA exists is identified within a region in which a carbon nanotube of the probe 12a is disposed. The probe 12a is switched to a probe 12b, and positioned in the identified region. The region in which the DNA exists is identified within a region in which the carbon nanotube of the probe 12b is disposed. The probe 12b is switched to a probe 12c. The region in which the DNA exists is narrowly identified. Finally, the probe 12c is switched to a probe 12d having one carbon nanotube attached at an end. The region in which the DNA exists is detected by the probe 12c, sequentially scanned and measured by a control section 22. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply carry out processes from cell culture to DNA extraction. SOLUTION: A cell is cultured in a cell culture chamber 5 and a metal ion capable of producing a chelate compound between the metal ion and a protein and a lysozyme are fed from a liquid inlet 3 to the cell and a cell membrane of the cell is broken by heating and the chelate compound is produced from the protein and its metal ion. Then, an eluate is fed from the liquid inlet 3 and a protein 16 producing the chelate compound is blocked by a filter 10 and a DNA 14 is extracted by permeating the DNA 14 through the filter 10.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform measurement of a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen quickly using a single unit of photo measuring device and prevent incidence of an external turbulent light into the light receiving part of a probe even in the multiple measuring. SOLUTION: A photo-measuring device is equipped with a probe 2 fitted in a single piece with a light projecting part to cast light onto a specimen and a light receiving part to receive the light diffused within the specimen, a supporting part 5 which puts the light projecting part and receiving part in contact with the specimen and supports them by means of grasping the probe, and a light shutoff part 3 which hinders an external turbulent light from being incident to the prove, at least to its light receiving part, whereby measuring is made upon pressing the probe to the specimen by grasping it, and after removal, another measuring point is measured, and in this manner, a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen are made measurable in a short time when incidence of external turbulent light to the light receiving part of the probe is well prevented. Thus inclusion of a measuring error originating from turbulent light is precluded, and also a measuring error associated with a movement of the measuring point precluded, and it is made practicable to measure a number of specimens or a number of parts on one specimen in a short period of time.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To stably measure overrun without obstructing the flow of gas- containing food in a feed pipe by measuring the attenuation of the sound from the sound source supported on the feed pipe. CONSTITUTION:An overrun measuring device 10 constituted of respective members such as a tuning fork 11 or the like is received in a sound-insulating box 17 and the leg part 15 of the tuning fork 11 is fixed to the upper part of feed piping 9a. When the tuning fork 11 is struck by a hammer 12, sound propagates through the piping 9a from the leg part 15 and rosonates within the piping 9a to gradually attenuate. This sound is collected by a highly directional microphone 14 and the timewise change of sound pressure is stored in a control part as attenuation data and an attenuation time is determined on the basis of the attenuation data. Since the sound propagating through the piping 9a is attenuated corresponding to the ratio of air bubbles in the liquid within the piping 9a, if the attenuation time is determined, the overrun value (content of air bubbles) in the liquid can be calculated.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make a bench space of an apparatus for automatic replacement of a sample small in size by providing a circulating element which extends upward from a measuring place and can circulate and by providing a number of cuvette holders for the circulating element. CONSTITUTION:First, a sample-containing cuvette 23 and a reference-containing cuvette 23 are held in holder main bodies 20 of each cuvette holder 19 respectively. After setting of the cuvettes 23 is completed, measurement by the main body 1 of a spectrophotometer is started. In this case, a belt 12 is made to circulate by driving a motor and a first holder 19 is disposed at the lowermost end. The holder 19 disposed at the lower end is put fast in a stationary state by mutual attraction of permanent magnets 7 and 21. Next, measurement is conducted by a light-emitting device 4 and a light-sensing device 5. When the measurement is completed, the belt 12 is made to circulate by the motor and the next holder 19 is disposed at the lowermost end. Subsequently, the measurement is conducted in the same way. According to this constitution, an apparatus for automatic replacement can be made small in size.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To accurately carry out position adjustment in a simple manner in a short time by pushing a fixed member fixed at the edge part of a plate-shaped elastic member inside, i.e., in the direction approaching each other. CONSTITUTION:When a regulating device 12 is installed on a screw rod 14, leaf springs 17 and 18 press the female screw members 28 and 29 to the screw rod 14 by the elastic force. Accordingly, the female members 28 and 29 are screwed with the screw rod 14, and the leaf springs 17 and 18 are positioned at the prescribed position of the screw rod 14. Accordingly, also a case member 16 is positioned at the prescribed position. When the case member 16 is shifted to a desired position, and the spring pushing members 19 and 20 are separated, the female members 28 and 29 are shifted inside by the elastic forces of the leaf springs 17 and 18, and screwed with the screw rod 14. After the case member 16 is shifted to a near position, a sample chamber 10 is placed on a regulation position 12, and fine adjustment is carried out. Accordingly, shift to a desired position can be carried out speedily and easily.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable inspection of internal condition of an object to be measured by arranging a sound source device and an optical dimensions inspecting device. CONSTITUTION:Speakers 6 and 6 and an oscillator 8 compose a sound source device. A light source 12, a filter 14, an optical fiber 10, photo detectors 16 and 16 and a data processor 18 compose an optical dimensions detector. Now, for example, a water melon 4 is placed on a balance scale 2. Visible light is radiated from the optical fiber 10 to scan with no sound wave emitted from the speakers 6 and 6. A profile at this moment is obtained. Then, sound waves are emitted from the speakers 6 and 6 with the oscillator 8 to spot a resonance point of the water melon 4. Frequencies of the sound waves are fixed at the resonance point and again, the water melon is scanned with the optical fiber 10 again in a wide range from an outline thereof 4 to measure a profile. When outline dimensions of the water melon 4 are L with no resonance, dimensions of the water melon 4 increase by DELTAL by a resonance. The water melon of a higher density vibrates less at the resonance point and hence, DELTAL becomes less.
