摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method and means for analyzing biomolecules that can realize, in biomolecule analysis, a wide dynamic range attained by counting the number of biomolecules and rapid analysis. The present invention relates to a method for analyzing biomolecules, comprising the steps of: immobilizing biomolecules 101 to be analyzed on surfaces of magnetic microparticles 108; reacting labeled probe molecules 104 with the biomolecules 101 to be analyzed; collecting and immobilizing the microparticles 108 on a support substrate 110; and measuring a label on the support substrate 110. Since single-molecule immobilized magnetic microparticles are used in the present invention, the number of biomolecules can be counted, and since hybridization and an antigen-antibody reaction are performed with the microparticles having biomolecules immobilized thereon dispersed, the reaction can be rapidly performed. Further, the type and the abundance of biomolecules of interest can be determined at a single molecular level, so as to evaluate, in particular, the absolute concentration of biomolecules.
摘要:
When cells are analyzed, fractionated, and incubated while keeping the cells alive, real-time operations can be performed more easily and the cells can be incubated while removing unnecessary cells from the incubated cells to purify the cells being incubated. Furthermore, desired cells are separated through analysis from the incubated cells, and the purity, recovery, and viability of the cells are heightened. Use is made of a substrate having photo-controllable cell adhesion properties, the substrate comprising a transparent base and, formed thereon, a film of a material which has photo-controllable cell adhesion properties and has been obtained by bonding a cell-adhesive material to a cell-non-adhesive material through photo-dissociable groups. Cell images are detected and analyzed to obtain information about the location of desired cells. On the basis of the information, a space is formed between cells and the material having photo-controllable cell adhesion properties is cut, by means of second light irradiation. Meanwhile, by means of first light irradiation, the surface of the substrate is changed from a cell-adhesive surface to a cell-non-adhesive surface, thereby separating the cell(s) from the substrate. Thus, cells can be analyzed and fractionated while keeping the cells alive.

摘要:
The present invention provides a device and method for analyzing the characteristics of a biopolymer with excellent mechanical stability, high spatial resolution and sensitivity using a simple device construction. Specifically, the Raman scattered light of a biopolymer is measured and the properties of monomer units forming the biopolymer are analyzed by using a biopolymer property analysis chip (100a) characterized by comprising: a solid substrate (110); at least one nanopore (120) disposed in the solid substrate (110); and one or more electrically conductive thin films (130a, 1 30b) disposed on the solid substrate (110). The biopolymer property analysis chip (100a) is characterized in that the electrically conductive thin films (130a,130b) are disposed partially on the solid substrate (110) where the nanopore (120) is formed and a biopolymer which has penetrated into the nanopore (120) is caused to generate Raman scattered light by means of irradiation with external light.

摘要:
An object of the present invention relates to selectively control an extension reaction within a desired area in a substrate. In the present invention, an oligo probe arranged with a caged compound at the terminal thereof is immobilized to a reaction field area in the substrate. After pouring a reaction solution into a flow cell including the reaction field area, the reaction field area alone is irradiated with light to associate the photodegradation-active protecting group at the terminal of the oligo probe that has been immobilized in the reaction field area and thus to selectively control initiation of a polymerase extension reaction. In the flow cell, a plural number of the reaction field areas are arranged at constant interval on the substrate. The flow cell immobilized to a moving stage is moved by a distance equal to the interval between the adjacent reaction field areas and then light irradiation is carried out to measure the extension reaction continuously. By repeating these operations, the base extension reaction is stably measured in the flow cell without using complicated channels or without replacing the reaction solution.
