A sample stirring device of the present invention includes a driving roller and two follower rollers for coming into contact with a sample container including a cylindrical portion for containing a sample to be stirred. The driving roller is driven for rotation to stir the sample contained in the sample container. The two follower rollers have rotation axes inclined with respect to an axial direction of the cylindrical portion. This arrangement allows the sample container such as a blood collection tube to be rotated stably.

The present invention relates to a method, a reagent and an apparatus for determining a substrate concentration based on an amount of hydrogen peroxide generated from a substrate. In the present invention, a suppressing agent for suppressing a reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and an inhibitor is added. As the suppressing agent, an azide compound such as sodium azide or a nitrite compound such as sodium nitrite is used. In the invention, a supporting electrolyte, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride may be further added.

The present invention relates to a method for measuring the concentration of a particular component in a blood sample containing blood cells based on a variable correlated with the concentration of the particular component. In the present invention, a concentration (S) in blood plasma obtained by removing blood cell components from the blood sample, a concentration (DI) in the blood sample computed by a differential method and a concentration (EP) in the blood sample computed by an equilibrium point method are expressed by a relational expression which is unrelated to the proportion of the blood cell components in the blood sample, and the concentration of the particular component is computed by using the relational expression.

A silicon oxide film 102, a Pt film 103x, a Ti film 104x and a PZT film 105x are deposited in this order over a Si substrate 101. The Si substrate 101 is placed in a chamber 106 so that the PZT film 105x is irradiated with an EHF wave 108. The irradiation with the EHF wave locally heats a dielectric film such as the PZT film. As a result, it is possible to improve, for example, the leakage property of the dielectric film without adversely affecting a device formed on the Si substrate 101.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion for forming an image, an image reading portion for reading an image, displaceable with respect to the image forming portion, and an open/closable member that can be opened or closed with respect to a main body of the image forming portion and displaced toward the image reading portion, wherein the displacement of the open/closable member is effected in relation to the displacement of the image reading portion. In this manner the open/closable member can be opened or closed by a simple operation, without increasing the dimension of the image forming apparatus.
