Abstract:
A cell lysis device for lysing cells or viruses, comprising a cell lysis tube having a sample inlet; a pump connected to the cell lysis tube for transferring a sample into the tube; a sealing unit for reversibly sealing a specific region of the tube; and a laser source for generating a laser is provide. Further, a method of lysing cells or viruses using the cell lysis device is provide. The method comprises introducing a sample containing cells or viruses and optionally magnetic beads to the cell lysis tube through the sample inlet; transferring the sample to a specific region in the cell lysis tube by means of the pump; temporarily sealing the region of the cell lysis tube where the sample is placed with the sealing unit; irradiating the sample with the laser; removing the sealing unit from the cell lysis tube; and discharging the sample from the cell lysis tube by means of the pump.
Abstract:
A microarray including hydrogel and a plurality of probes which are immobilized in discrete regions of the hydrogel, and a method of preparing the same are provided. When using the microarray and method, a solid substrate is not required and many biomolecules can be immobilized in a small volume, thereby obtaining high sensitivity. Since gel can be cut to obtain many pieces, many microarrays can be prepared at once.

Abstract:
A method for immobilizing a target material on a substrate includes applying a voltage across a first solution including the target material in contact with a surface of a film including a pore disposed therein, a second solution in contact with an opposite surface of the film, and a substrate disposed facing the opposite surface of the film, moving the target material from the first solution, through the pore of the film into the second solution, and immobilizing the target material on the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of reducing a temperature difference between a high-temperature and a low-temperature substrate includes interposing a heat transfer facilitating layer which has a higher thermal conductivity than air and can hold particles between the substrates, and maintaining close contact between the high-temperature substrate, the heat transfer facilitating layer, and the low-temperature substrate, wherein formation of an air layer can be at least substantially prevented between the high-temperature substrate and the heat transfer facilitating layer, and between the low-temperature substrate and the heat transfer facilitating layer. A fluid reaction device includes a microfluidic reaction chip which accommodates a fluid, a heater, and a heat transfer facilitating layer which is interposed between the microfluidic reaction chip and the heater, the heat transfer facilitating layer has a higher thermal conductivity than air and can hold particles, wherein formation of an air layer can be prevented.

Abstract:
A method of recovering a nucleic acid sequence using a probe map includes: aligning a probe onto a target sequence based on a result in which the probe is hybridized to the target sequence; determining a representative value representing each aligned position of the probe; and recovering a base sequence of the target sequence by using a probe map to which the determined representative values and base sequence information of the probe are mapped.
