摘要:
A microparticle having a probe molecule able to capture a specific nucleic acid group to be analyzed is used to extract only the specific nucleic acid group to be analyzed from a nucleic acid sample and the microparticle is thereafter directly immobilized on a smooth plate, whereby a device for nucleic acid analysis is rapidly prepared. Immobilizing a single capture probe molecule onto an individual microparticle in advance and forming, at regular positions on the smooth substrate, an adhesion pad on which a functional group that binds to the microparticle has been introduced makes it possible to readily and rapidly prepare the device for nucleic analysis, where the nucleic acid sample to be analyzed is arranged molecule by molecule in a lattice shape on the smooth substrate.

Provided is an analyzer capable of reducing the amount of wasted reagents and shortening time required for solution sending, thus increasing throughput for analysis. A microsyringe sucks a minimum required amount of reagent that is substantially the same amount of capacity of a flow cell to a sampling nozzle. Then, the sampling nozzle is inserted into an injection port of the flow cell, and the reagent is injected into the flow cell by driving the microsyringe. The inside of the sampling nozzle is cleaned by moving the sampling nozzle to the cleaning tank and ejecting cleaning water from the sampling nozzle, and the outside of the sampling nozzle is cleaned by spraying cleaning water from an inner wall of the cleaning tank.

摘要:
The present invention provides a capillary electrophoresis apparatus in which a capillary is easily attached to and detached from a migration medium filling unit without mixing impurities into the capillary. Mixture of impurities such as dust is also prevented when a capillary negative-electrode end is brought into contact with a sample stored in a vessel. Furthermore, temperature control is efficiently performed in the capillary. In the capillary electrophoresis apparatus, the whole of capillary array can be supported by grasping a grip portion by hand. A migration medium filling mechanism includes a slide mechanism which moves a polymer block with respect to a capillary head. The capillary electrophoresis apparatus includes a vessel in which a sample and a buffer can simultaneously be stored. Temperatures of the capillary and an irradiation and detection unit are controlled by a temperature control function provided in a thermostatic device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to detection of an emission spectrum by irradiating excitation light onto a plurality of electrophoretic paths and dispersing fluorescent light output from the electrophoretic paths in a direction approximately vertical to an electrophoretic direction. According to the invention, since an emission spectrum to be detected does not substantially change over time, it becomes possible to make observed emission spectrums completely correspond to various fluorescent dyes or various bases.
摘要:
The troublesomeness during the setting of a plurality of capillaries is eliminated by composing pairs of electrodes, which are electrically connected to the common electrode, and capillaries. By bringing electrodes installed in the vicinity of each capillary disposed at the pitch of wells on the side of sample plate (within the area of the wells) into electrical contact with a common electrode, the capillaries and electrodes are made integral in construction. When a voltage is applied to the electrophoretic instrument via a common electrode portion, the voltage is applied to the electrodes for each capillary. This enables an inexpensive microtiter plate, etc. to be used and a multiple of capillaries to be simultaneously inserted, attached and detached.

A capillary electrophoresis system comprising a plurality of capillaries filled with a migration medium in which samples to which fluorephore labels are added migrate, a light source providing an excitation light exciting the fluorephore labels, a photo detector detecting a fluorescence radiated from the fluorephore labels, and light focusing means placed between the plurality of capillaries to which the excitation light is irradiated. The parts of the plurality of capillaries to which the excitation light is irradiated and the light focusing means are arranged in a plane shape. The excitation light is irradiated through the plurality of capillaries and the light focusing means, the capillaries and light focusing means alternatively placed in the parts where an excitation light is irradiated. The light focusing means consisting of cylindrical rod lenses. The axis of the cylindrical rod lenses is placed substantially parallel with the capillaries, which can detect the fluorescence from samples by irradiating a plurality of capillaries substantially at the same time in a batch without mechanical scanning of a plurality of capillaries or without optical scanning of a light beam, providing a highly sensitive detection of samples.
