Abstract:
A method of competitive immunoassay is provided. The method comprising: creating a first calibration curve created for a first reaction time period and a second calibration curve created for a second reaction time period longer than the first reaction time period; preparing a measurement sample containing a target substance in a specimen, a reactant, and a competitive substance; obtaining a reference information related to the concentration of the target substance after the first reaction time period since the preparation of the measurement sample; first outputting the concentration obtained based on the first calibration curve as a measurement result in the case where the reference information shows that the concentration of the target substance is less than a predetermined threshold; and second outputting the concentration obtained based on the second calibration curve as the measurement result in the case where the reference information obtained in the obtaining is information showing that the concentration of the target substance is more than or equal to the threshold.

Abstract:
A blood cell analyzer comprising a flow cell configured to flow a measurement specimen containing blood cells, a first light source configured to emit light having a first wavelength, a second light source configured to emit light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, a first light receiving portion configured to receive first scattered light generated by irradiating the blood cells in the measurement specimen with light from the first light source, a second light receiving portion configured to receive second scattered light generated by irradiating the blood cells in the measurement specimen with light from the second light source, and a control section configured to classify at least white blood cells from the blood cells contained in the measurement specimen, based on a detection signal output from the first light receiving portion and a detection signal output from the second light receiving portion.
Abstract:
A method of determining a quality of a cell separation, according to an aspect, includes: separating, by running a specimen containing a first particle and a second particle in a flow path, the specimen to a first specimen containing the first particle and a second specimen containing the second particle, based on a difference in magnitude of a force exerted on each particle contained in the specimen; measuring first information on an amount of the first specimen and second information on an amount of the second specimen; and determining a quality of the separating based on the first information and the second information.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of measuring a lipoprotein's capacity to accept cholesterol including the steps of: bringing a lipoprotein in a sample into contact with labeled cholesterol to incorporate the labeled cholesterol into the lipoprotein; bringing the lipoprotein having the labeled cholesterol into contact with an antibody that binds to a lipoprotein to form a complex of the lipoprotein and the antibody; and measuring the label incorporated into the complex.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a bioparticle measuring method including forming on a solid phase a complex of a sample containing a bioparticle sampled from a specimen, a capturer containing a tag which binds to the solid phase and capable of binding to the bioparticle, and a detector capable of binding to the bioparticle and containing an labeled substance; dissociating a part or a whole of the complex from the solid phase to prepare a measurement sample containing a part or a whole of the complex not fixed on the solid phase; and detecting signals from the measurement sample by a particle analyzer.
Abstract:
A cell information acquisition method may include: binding a binding substance to a receptor on a cell membrane surface of a cell, the binding substance being bindable to the receptor; permeabilizing a cell membrane of the cell after the binding; labeling a receptor in an intracellular area of the cell with a binding substance labeled with a first labeling substance after the permeabilizing; causing a specimen including the cell to flow through a flow path after the labeling; irradiating the cell included in the specimen flowing through the flow path with light; and acquiring a signal based on light generated from the first labeling substance in the cell irradiated with light.
