摘要:
The present invention provides a cell sorting device using an inexpensive chip capable of being exchanged for each sample for cell sorting. The cell sorting device uses flow paths formed on the substrate and has the following structure. The chip includes: a first flow path allowing a buffer fluid containing cells to flow down; second and third flow paths which put the first flow path therebetween and allow a buffer fluid not containing cells to flow down from both sides of the first flow path; a fourth flow path which allows the buffer fluid as a single flow path formed by the join of the buffer fluid in the first flow path and the buffer fluid in the second and third flow paths; a cell detecting region for detecting cells flowing with a buffer fluid down the fourth flow path; a cell sorting region for sorting the cells according to a type of the cells detected. The first flow path, the second and the third flow paths, the fourth flow path, the cell detecting region and the cell sorting region provided in a cascade. Two flow paths are provided to allow the cells sorted to flow downstream of the cell sorting region. The buffer fluid flowing in the first to the fourth flow paths is supplied from reservoirs having the same fluid level. The first flow path and the fourth flow path are structured to have substantially the same width or cross-section area.

There is provided a processing apparatus and a processing method for micro-chamber for cell culture having a desired culturing space. The micro-chamber processing apparatus for cell culture of the present invention comprises a micro-chamber comprising no more than one absorption layer and at least one gel layer, in this order, laminated on a transparent base plate having no conspicuous absorbency in visible and infrared regions, and at least one light source, said absorption layer having absorbency in visible and infrared regions, and said gel-like material being a substance which has a gel dissolution temperature of 100 degree C. or less, solates when heated and is in a gel state at room temperature and has absorbency for a specific wave length of visible and infrared regions, and said light source having a monochromatic light in said specific wave length, wherein said light source is disposed such that it irradiates on said absorption layer and/or said gel layer, with the exception that when no absorption layer is provided, at least two layers each composed of a gel-like material are laminated on said transparent base plate.
摘要:
A DNA microarray system whereby measurement can be performed at a low running cost, a low price and yet a high accuracy. A nucleic acid probe (3) is immobilized on the surface of a gate insulator of an electric field effect transistor and then hybridized with a target gene on the surface of the gate insulator. A change in the surface electric charge density thus arising is detected by using the electric effect.

Different probes each having a specific base sequence are immobilized to each of independent areas formed on the surface of a substrate, complementary polynucleotides in a sample solution are hybridized to the probes, and each of the independent areas on the substrate is heated and then cooled in sequence, and hence the solution is recovered to extract different polynucleotides separately corresponding to individual probes.

Supporting members are provided at three places, for example, on a frame section of a pair of tweezers. Each supporting member has a tapered face as an inclined guide for allowing a rim portion of a substrate to slide down to be guided to a predetermined position. A vertical wall which is formed continuing from the tapered face and being nearly perpendicular to a supported face of a wafer is provided at an upper end of the tapered face. Even when the rim portion of the wafer rises along the tapered face with the movement of the tweezers, the rim portion stops by hitting against the vertical wall, thereby preventing the wafer from falling from the tweezers.

Composite particles formed from resin particles and silica particles (amount of silica particles: 0.2 to 10 wt. % on the basis of the resin particles) in an apparatus for formation of composite particles are placed in a PTFE mold and heat treated to weld the resin particles to one another, thereby forming a structural element, which is dipped in an ethyl silicate solution containing monodispersed silica particles, then taken out of the solution and subjected to further heat treatment to form an ultimate structural element, which is sealed in a tip case, whereby a tip can be produced at a low cost and used to separate nucleic acid from a liquid sample for a short time at a high recovery rate without any defects such as breaking, etc.
