摘要:
In order to provide a fluorescence detection apparatus having a high sensitivity, a high processing capacity and a competitive edge in cost, the fluorescence detection apparatus according to this invention irradiate the sample with light so that the aspect ratio of the form of the irradiated region by light on the arrangement surface of the sample may be 1±0.1. The preferable form of irradiate region is not limited to one and varies to some extent depending on the item to be optimized. The form of irradiated region may be, for example, a circle, an equilateral triangle, a square, a regular hexagon and the like.

During the structural analysis of a protein or peptide by tandem mass spectroscopy, a peptide ion derived from a protein that has already been measured and that is expressed in great quantities is avoided as a tandem mass spectroscopy target. A peptide derived from a minute amount of protein, which has heretofore been difficult to analyze, can be automatically determined as a tandem mass spectroscopy target within the real time of measurement. Data concerning a protein that has already been measured and a peptide derived from the protein is automatically stored in an internal database. The stored data is collated with measured data with high accuracy to determine an isotope peak. In this way, the process of selecting a peptide peak that has not been measured as the target for the next tandem analysis can be performed within the real time of measurement and a redundant measurement of peptides derived from the same protein can be avoided. The information contained in the MSn spectrum is effectively utilized in each step of the MSn involving a multi-stage dissociation and mass spectroscopy (MSn), so that the flows for the determination of the next analysis content and the selection of the parent ion for the MSn+1 analysis, for example, can be optimized within the real time of measurement and with high efficiency and accuracy. Thus, a target of concern to the user can be subjected to tandem mass spectroscopy without wasteful measurement.

Disclosed is a probe for biomeasurement by use of light capable of adjusting positions of incident points and detection points without changing the distance between the incident point and the detection point in accordance with the size of a subject's head, and an optical bioinstrumentation for living body using the probe. The distances between the incident points and the detection points are approximately the same. A gap is formed by removing part of connecting members, rotatable about the incident point and the detection point, around the subject head top portion. The size of the probe is changed by changing the distance between the incident points or the detection points around the gap.

An apparatus includes a system for guiding chemiluminescence and a system for preventing a variation in dark currents. The apparatus includes a first light shielding BOX having a sample container holder and a shutter unit therein, the shutter unit including a top plate which is partly formed by a movement of a plate member, and a second light shielding BOX having a photodetector therein. While a measurement is not implemented, the shutter unit is closed to block entrance of stray light to the photodetector, and while a measurement is implemented, the plate member is moved to open the shutter unit, and the tip of the photodetector is inserted into a through hole formed in the top plate, so that the distance between the bottom of the sample container and a sensitive area of the photodetector is reduced to several millimeters or less.

The present invention provides an apparatus for efficiently transporting or dispensing transport objects including not only particles but also liquid samples. A liquid in a first liquid transport pipe (3) is fed at a liquid feed velocity (V1), and a liquid droplet is formed toward an open end of a second liquid transport pipe (4) disposed with an air gap (11) in between. The particle is released into the liquid droplet, so that the particle is enclosed in the liquid droplet. Suction with a liquid feed velocity (V2) is applied to the inside of the second liquid transport pipe. Since the relationship between V1 and V2 is V1
摘要:
It is intended to provide an assay for the presence, absence or amount of a nucleic-acid fragment having a certain nucleotide sequence, for example, a polyA length, a difference in the number of repetition of a direct repeat sequence (e.g., microsatellite), single nucleotide substitution (or single nucleotide polymorphism), and nucleotide sequence insertion or deletion, and to provide a genetic testing using the same. The present invention relates to a nucleotide analysis method, comprising: hybridizing at least two probes to a nucleic-acid fragment; ligating the at least two probes using ligase; exchanging, to ATP, pyrophosphoric acid produced through the ligation reaction; and detecting chemiluminescence reaction dependent on the ATP.

There is provided a simple, inexpensive reaction analysis kit and system capable of performing highly sensitive, quantitative measurement. A chemical luminescence reaction is employed and a sensor element is used to detect the reaction in a highly sensitive manner. That is, a reaction detection plate is used to transmit a signal detected in the sensor element via a reader coil and a reader and then analyze the reaction. The reaction detection plate has a) a membrane, b) a first antibody impregnated section that is disposed such that it faces the membrane and holds a first labeled antibody that specifically binds to a substance to be analyzed, c) a second antibody immobilized section that is provided in part of the membrane and has an immobilized second antibody, the second antibody specifically binding to the substance to be analyzed, and d) a sensor element that is disposed such that it faces the second antibody immobilized section and includes a light detector and a signal transceiver.
摘要:
A method to extract RNA with high purity from biological materials containing RNA in a safe, rapid, and simple procedure and a method to analyze it are provided. The procedure includes the steps of mixing a biological material containing RNA with a predetermined concentration of a chaotropic agent and a predetermined concentration of an organic solvent, allowing the mixed solution to contact a nucleic acid-binding solid phase, washing the nucleic-acid binding solid-phase to which RNA is bound, and eluting RNA from the nucleic-acid binding solid-phase having the bound RNA. Furthermore, the obtained RNA is analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or the like.
