PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for recovering metal capable of easily recovering metal without using an organic medium.SOLUTION: A complex between a chelating agent and a metal in a specimen is formed in a mixed liquid prepared by mixing the chelating agent and the specimen under a pH condition where the chelating agent can be insoluble in an aqueous medium. Then, the complex is recovered from the mixed liquid, and further, the metal is recovered by dissolving the recovered complex in an aqueous medium under a pH condition that is different from the pH conditions where the chelating agent can be insoluble in an aqueous medium. By this method, metal can be easily recovered without using an organic medium.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To set an appropriate amplification factor for detecting with good precision the amount of target nucleic acid that has been amplified or melted.SOLUTION: A light reception section 14 receives fluorescence emitted according to the amount of the target nucleic acid that has been amplified by PCR by a light source 12 illuminating excitation light onto a reaction liquid. Electrical signals from the light reception section whose level depends on the received fluorescence intensity are amplified by plural amplification circuits 16a to 16n having different amplification factors from each other. A multiplexer 18 selects an electrical signal amplified with an amplification factor (for example 1 times) in an initial stage of an amplification reaction and detects a fluorescence value for that cycle. A CPU 30 acquires the largest fluorescence value in the initial stage and determines the amplification factor for a corrected stage to be (apparatus detection threshold value-margin)/largest value of the fluorescence value in initial stage, and inputs a selection signal to the multiplexer 18 to select the electrical signal amplified by the determined amplification factor. In the corrected stage, the electrical signal amplified with the determined amplification factor is selected and the fluorescence values are detected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate absorbance, when measurement is done for each individual spectroscopic measuring tool, with the length of an optical path over which light passes a checked substance.SOLUTION: A light emitting unit 11 irradiates a checked substance 3 held by a spectroscopic measuring tool 2 with light rays of a plurality of wavelengths. A light receiving unit 13 receives the light rays of the plurality of wavelengths having passed the checked substance 3. A detecting unit 14 detects wavelength component absorbance from the light rays received by the light receiving unit 13. An optical path length calculating unit 16 compares, out of the pieces of wavelength component absorbance detected by the detecting unit 14, the wavelength component absorbance of light rays absorbed by pigment that absorbs light rays of other wavelengths than the light wavelengths absorbed by analytical object contained in the checked substance 3, and the prescribed values of those wavelength component absorbance, and calculates the length of the optical path over which light passes the checked substance 3. A compensating unit 17 compensates the wavelength component absorbance detected by the detecting unit 14 for other wavelengths than those of the light rays absorbed by pigment with the optical path lengths calculated by the optical path length calculating unit 16, and thereby calculates the compensated wavelength component absorbance in a reference optical path length.
