摘要:
A sensor chip for surface plasmon resonance which has a thin metal film, an antibody against a substance with the steroid skeleton such as a steroid hormone, a sex hormone or an environmental hormone (excluding triazine compounds), and a fixation layer for fixing the antibody to the thin metal film; and a method for detecting an environmental hormone which involves the step of exposing the antibody in the above-mentioned sensor chip to a sample, the step of irradiating the thin metal film with light and the step of determining the intensity of the light reflected by the thin metal film. This method achieves a high sensitivity and an excellent selectivity.
摘要:
A technique for controlling membrane denaturation reactions other than physical shear force was developed. For example, the present invention provides, a method for causing membrane disruption at a specific site by reacting a stimulus such as light with a compound that is activated by the stimulus, where the reaction occurs on a membrane such as a biomembrane. It also provides a membrane structure such as cells in which a specific site has been disrupted, which are obtained by the present method. Introduction of substances such as genes also became possible by using this membrane structure. Further provided is a membrane-destroying member for disrupting a membrane at a specific site. Thus, the present invention enabled, for example, easy membrane penetration using components constituting microelectrodes, micromanipulators, and microinjectors, which were conventionally hardly usable in penetrating cell membranes.
摘要:
A method for detecting or measuring an immunologically reactive substance through an immunological reaction with a reagent which is an antigen, an antibody, a carrier reagent sensitized by an antigen, or a carrier reagent sensitized by an antibody, wherein an immunological reaction product is produced in an aqueous reaction system by applying to the aqueous reaction system in which the reagent and the immunologically reactive substance are present a small voltage (preferably insufficient to cause electrolysis of the system) without substantially forming a pearl chain derived from the reagent, i.e. when the reagent includes a carrier three or more particles of carrier reagent are not arranged adjacent to one another in the form of a straight chain.

摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor that can detect a small amount of target substances in high sensitivity. The present invention provides a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising a metal layer, one or more plasma polymerization layers formed on said metal layer, and a biologically active substance immobilized on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer.

摘要:
The microbial electrode is constructed having a substrate(3) made of an insulating material, an electric conductor(2) which is fixed on the substrate and a membrane containing microorganism cells(1) which is fixed on the conductor. The microbial sensor(20) is constructed having the microbial electrode above described and a conductor(11) to act as a counter electrode fixed on the insulating material of the surface of the substrate of the electrode which is opposite to the surface where the membrane containing microorganism cells is fixed.
摘要:
An electrode made of a metal or carbon, a working electrode (20) in contact with this electrode and of a microorganic germ-containing thin film, a counter electrode (7), and a reference electrode (5) as necessary are immersed in an organism-containing solution (30), and the BOD of this solution is measured by determining the quantity of an electric current flowing between the working electrode (20) and counter-electrode (7) or reference electrode (5), applying a voltage between the electrodes by a potentiostat (6). By this method, the concentrations of organic compounds can be measured directly without using an oxygen electrode even when the quantity of dissolved oxygen is small.
