    Abstract: The sensor of a fluid sensor system includes an outer peripheral sensor unit including three or more sensor pairs to surround and sandwich the heating element. The computing device of the system includes a first identification unit identifies a sensor pair in which an output difference between an output value corresponding to a temperature detected by one temperature sensor of the sensor pair and an output value corresponding to a temperature detected by the other temperature sensor of the sensor pair is largest, a second identification unit identifies other sensor pairs adjacent to the identified sensor pair in the circumferential direction, and a flow direction estimation unit estimates the flow direction of the fluid on the basis of the output difference in the sensor pair having the largest output difference and output differences in the other sensor pairs adjacent to the sensor pair in the circumferential direction.

    Abstract: A nucleic acid amplification method using a solid-phase carrier according to the present invention comprises: capturing a target nucleic acid comprising mRNA on a solid-phase carrier; carrying out complementary-strand synthesis on the solid phase; carrying out exonuclease treatment to degrade and remove unreacted target- capturing nucleic acid on the solid phase; and then carrying out mRNA degradation and homopolymer addition by TdT reaction in the presence of a chain-terminating nucleotide triphosphate. According to the method of the present invention, cDNA can be stably and highly efficiently amplified even from a small amount of sample even in cases where the ratio of the amount of enzyme to the DNA substrate on the solid phase is excessive, where the reaction time is excessive, and/or where reagents show lot-to-lot variation. Further, the amplification method of the present invention can broaden the range of applications of techniques in which analysis using a specific-binding molecule labeled with an oligonucleic acid such as a DNA-labeled antibody and analysis of transcripts are carried out simultaneously.
