摘要:
An assembling apparatus (100) assembles beads (1,2) different in particle size from each other. The assembling apparatus (100) includes a substrate (10) and a photothermal light source (20). The substrate is constructed to be able to hold a sample (13) in which the beads (1, 2) are dispersed. The photothermal light source (20) irradiates the substrate (10) or the sample (13) with laser beams (201) to thereby produce a temperature difference in the sample (13).

A detection device (100) detects an analyte that may be contained in a specimen. The detection device (100) includes a plurality of gold nanoparticles, an optical trapping light source (101), an illumination light source (102), an objective lens (103), an image pick-up device (108), and a computation unit (106). The plurality of gold nanoparticles are each modified with a probe DNA allowing the analyte to specifically adhere thereto. The optical trapping light source (101) emits polarized light for assembling the plurality of gold nanoparticles together. The objective lens (103) focuses and introduces the polarized light into a liquid containing a specimen and the plurality of gold nanoparticles. The image pick-up device (108) receives light from the liquid. The computation unit (106) detects an analyte based on a signal received from the image pick-up device (108).
摘要:
In order to realize a method and an apparatus, each of which requires no contact treatment and no chemical reaction, for separating isomers of a chiral substance by irradiating a chiral substance C with light such as circularly polarized light, so as to separate isomers (C 1 and C 2 ) in accordance with a difference in acceleration between the isomers (C 1 and C 2 ), separation of isomers of a chiral substance in accordance with the present invention includes: (i) a circularly polarized light irradiating apparatus (3) for irradiating, with circularly polarized light, a chiral substance (C) which is a mixture of different isomers (C 1 and C 2 ) and is released from a molecular beam generating apparatus (2) in a vacuum chamber (1) and (ii) isomer inlets (1a and 1b) for separating the different isomers (C 1 and C 2 ) of the chiral substance (C) in accordance with a difference in acceleration between the different isomers (C 1 and C 2 ).
