A biosensor has the following elements: a diaphragm having a through-hole; a frame supporting the diaphragm and having a cavity; and pillars formed on the side of inner wall surface of the frame and on the surface of the diaphragm. This structure can suppress the occurrence of bubbles in the vicinity of the through-hole, and easily remove the remaining bubbles. Thus the measuring reliability of the biosensor can be improved.

A sensor includes a diaphragm having a through-hole (1), and includes a frame supporting a diaphragm and having a cavity. Kerfs are formed in a frame so as to extend from an end surface of the frame, and the wall surfaces of the kerfs are made hydrophilic. This structure can suppress the occurrence of bubbles in the vicinity of the through-hole, and efficiently remove the remaining bubbles. As a result, the bubbles adhering to the vicinity of the through-hole can be removed, and the measuring reliability of the sensor can be improved.

A process including holding sensor chip; holding glass tube surrounding the outer periphery of the side surface of sensor chip; applying a wind pressure to the side surface of glass tube from the outside of glass tube and melting glass tube to be glass-welded to the side surface of sensor chip. Thereby, the outer periphery of sensor chip can be surrounded by a highly hydrophilic glass tube. Thus, a cell electrophysiological sensor with high measurement accuracy can be produced.
摘要:
A cellular electrophysiology sensor is adapted to measure an electrical change of a test cell. A chip for the sensor includes a diaphragm, and a thermally-oxidized film mainly containing silicon dioxide on the diaphragm. The diaphragm includes a silicon layer and a silicon dioxide layer on an upper surface of the silicon layer. A through-hole passing through the silicon layer and the silicon dioxide layer is formed. The through-hole has an opening which opens at the silicon dioxide layer and is adapted to capture the test cell. The thermally-oxidized film is provided on an inner wall surface of the through-hole, and unified with the silicon dioxide layer at the opening of the through-hole. This cellular electrophysiology sensor chip can stably capture the test cell and provides a gigaseal stably even if test cells have different properties,

摘要:
A sensor chip is a sensor device for measuring a property of a substance by adsorbing the substance on a surface of the sensor chip. The sensor chip includes a diaphragm having a first surface, a second surface, and at least one through hole penetrating from the first surface to the second surface. At least a part of the first surface, the second surface, and an inner wall surface of the through hole is covered with a noncrystalline solid layer including SiOX as a main component, in which substance X is an element having higher electronegativity than that of silicon.
