Abstract:
Provided is a target substance measurement kit for detecting a target substance sensitively in a convenient manner. Provided is a target substance measurement kit including a capturing unit that captures a target substance contained in a liquid and a flow rate control unit that controls the rate of flow of the liquid in the capturing unit. The flow rate control unit is provided downstream from the capturing unit in the flow direction of the liquid.
Abstract:
A microchip is provided and configured to contain a sample solution for analysis. The microchip including a channel that is maintained at a pressure level less than atmospheric pressure so as to allow flow of the sample solution thru the channel; and a pressure indication section configured to detect a change in the pressure level. A microchip apparatus and a method of manufacturing a microchip are also provided.
Abstract:
Provided is a microchip which enables to easily confirm, from the outside of the microchip, filling of a solution into an analysis region. The microchip includes: an introduction part for introducing a liquid; an analysis region in which a substance contained in the liquid or a reaction product of the substance is analyzed; an indication region to indicate that the analysis region has completely been filled with the liquid; and a flow channel to connect the introduction part, the analysis region, and the indication region. In the microchip, the flow channel is configured in such a manner that an amount of time it takes for the liquid introduced from the introduction part to reach the indication region is longer than an amount of time it takes for the liquid introduced from the introduction part to fill up the analysis region.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a microchip for use in a nucleic acid amplification reaction which enables a simple and highly accurate analysis. Provided is a method for producing a microchip for use in a nucleic acid amplification reaction comprising: a solidification step of drying a reagent solution containing at least a portion of a substance needed for the nucleic acid amplification reaction; and an accommodation step of placing a reagent containing the solidified substance in a well which is a reaction place for the nucleic acid amplification reaction. In the microchip for use in a nucleic acid amplification reaction which is produced by the production method the substance needed for the nucleic acid amplification reaction is accommodated in a solidified state. Therefore it becomes possible to inhibit the occurrence of a non specific amplification in a nucleic acid amplification reaction and therefore it becomes possible to carry out an analysis with high accuracy.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and less invasive physiologically active substance collecting device capable of constantly collecting the physiologically active substance from a living organism.SOLUTION: A physiologically active substance collecting device comprises: a collecting section 1 which contacts a body surface S of a living organism to collect the physiologically active substance from the body surface S of the living organism; and solvent sending means to send solvent to the collecting section 1. The collecting section 1 has an opening 124 to allow the solvent sent from the solvent sending means and distributed in a channel 121 to contact with the body surface S. The physiologically active substance collecting device can collect the physiologically active substance in the solvent by allowing the solvent to contact with the body surface S at the collecting section 1.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a separation column capable of especially holding the analysis target molecule in a biomicromolecule on the column efficiently while preventing the adsorption of protein on the column. SOLUTION: This monolithic silica column for separating the biomicromolecule is characterized in that the surface of a silica skeleton and the surfaces of the micropores formed to the silica skeleton are modified by a polymer, which is obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition containing a phosphorylcholine analogue group-containing monomer represented by formula (1) (wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same group or different groups and are a hydrogen atom, a 1-6C alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, R 4 is a 1-6C alkylene group, R 5 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and n is an integer of 1-4) and the pore size of the micropores of which the surfaces are modified by the polymer has the size fitted to the molecular size of the biomicromolecule being a separation target.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting with high sensitivity the binding, between an object material and a target material, without having to label, such as fluorescent labeling and a radiation labeling. SOLUTION: The method for detecting the binding between the materials is provided and includes: a step S1 for implementing a binding reaction of a predetermined quantity of the target material and the object material having a binding capability to the target material (1); a step S3 for quantifying the target material which does not react (2); and a step S4 for calculating a difference between the initial quantity of the target material and a quantitative value of the target material which does not react (3). In the binding detecting method, that the target material and the object material are bound is detected, if the difference is larger than 0. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
