A liquid delivery apparatus 1 has a rotary substrate 2. The substrate 2 formed with a fluid passage 8A for communicating a supply chamber 6A and target chamber 7A. An inlet end portion 13 at which the fluid passage 8A is connected to the chamber 6A extends in a clockwise direction R1 of rotational directions of the substrate 2. The inlet end portion 13 holds a liquid 9 in the chamber 6A by a capillary force. The rotation drive unit 4 rotates the substrate 2 so that an inertial force exceeding the capillary force and directed to the clockwise direction R1 acts on the liquid 9 in the inlet end portion 13. Delivery behavior control of microfluid with a high degree of flexibility can be achieved.

A fluid chip has a liquid support 25 for supporting a liquid 24, a fluid passage 22 formed by being surrounded by the liquid support 25 and through which the liquid 24 moves, and a plurality of magnetic particles 21 disposed in the fluid passage 24. The magnetic particles 21 are aggregated by a permanent magnet 23 so as to block the fluid passage 22 and thus cut off flow of the liquid 24. The magnetic particles 21 are dispersed along a part of a wall of the fluid passage 22 so as to open the fluid passage 22 and thus allow the liquid 24 to flow.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of quantitative determination of pyrophosphate (PPi) and a method of detecting a primer extension reaction that require fewer kinds of enzymes and that do not necessitate strict temperature regulation, and a kit and a device for performing these methods. In the method of measuring PPi of the present invention, a PPi sample having an unknown concentration is allowed to act on mycobacterial H+-pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) intrinsically included in membrane, thereby measuring the PPi concentration in the sample by analyzing thus resulting H+transport. Furthermore, in the method of detecting an extension reaction of a primer of the present invention, an unknown nucleic acid sample to which examination of occurrence of the primer extension reaction is intended is allowed to act on mycobacterial H+-PPase intrinsically included in a membrane, thereby determining occurrence of the primer extension reaction on the unknown nucleic acid sample by analyzing thus resulting H+transport.

A multiple electrode includes a plurality of micro-electrodes provided on a substrate, and a wiring portion for providing an electrical signal to the micro-electrodes or extracting an electrical signal from the micro-electrodes. Each micro-electrode has porous conductive material on its surface, and the impedance of the micro-electrode is 50 kΩ or less. Preferably, the porous conductive material is gold, and formed by the passage of current at a current density of 1.0 to 5.0 A/dm2 for 10 to 360 sec. The multiple electrode may include micro-electrodes provided on a substrate in the form of a matrix, a lead line connected to the micro-electrodes, and an electrical junction connected to an end of the lead line.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for readily and reliably screening olfactory mucosa stimulating compounds are provided. An olfactory mucosa stimulating compound is sprayed through an atomizing nozzle 33 to an olfactory mucosa of a rat fixed in a test animal fixing device 32. A measuring electrode portion 10 is implanted in an olfactory bulb of the rat for measuring an electrical signal generated in the olfactory bulb. Efficacy of the olfactory mucosa stimulating compound is determined based on a correlation between an electrical signal measured by the measuring electrode portion 10 when the olfactory mucosa stimulating compound is sprayed on the olfactory mucosa of the rat and a physiological response induced in the rat.
