摘要:
A vibrator has a large strength of a standing wave even with a low driving voltage, thereby improving the accuracy of component separation. A device according to the present invention includes a substrate having a channel groove provided in an upper surface of the substrate, a seal provided above the substrate so as to cover an upper opening of the channel groove, a projection provided on an outer side wall opposite to the channel groove, and a vibrator causing the projection to warp and vibrate in a depth direction of the channel groove. The warping vibration of the projection is amplified due to effect of leverage, and generates a large stress on the outer wall of the channel groove having the projection provided thereon. Consequently, the strength of a standing wave in the channel groove increases even for a low driving voltage, thereby improving the accuracy of component separation.

A flow channel structure includes a substrate having a flow channel formed therein, and plural fibrous bristles extending from the inner wall of the flow channel. The flow channel is configured to allow a solution to flow through the flow channel. The inner wall of the flow channel is made of silicon. The flow channel is configured to allow a solution to flow through the flow channel. This flow channel structure can homogenize the solution inside the flow channel.

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 cellular electrophysiological measurement device includes a thin plate and a frame. The thin plate has a first surface with a depression and a second surface with a through-hole. The frame is in contact with an outer periphery on the second surface of thin plate. The thin plate has a laminated structure of at least two layers including a first material layer on the first surface and a second material layer on the second surface. The frame is formed of a third material layer. The structure allows the cellular electrophysiological measurement device to be not so vulnerable to breakage of thin plate and other damages, thereby having high production yield.

The present invention provides a kit employed for polymerase chain reaction. The kit has a cavity and a flow channel on a substrate. The flow channel is separated from the cavity by at least a barrier formed along the cavity. Such a structure allows the cavity to be filled with a sample solution even in minute quantities. At the same time, the structure can provide a sample solution with a rapid temperature-control. The structure can therefore contribute to accelerated polymerase chain reaction.

A component separation device includes a substrate having a flow path formed therein and arranged to store a fluid containing a liquid component and a solid component, and an actuator causing the fluid stored in the flow path to vibrate. The actuator includes a first electrode provided on the substrate apart from the flow path, and a first piezoelectric member provided on the first electrode, and a second electrode provided on the first piezoelectric member. This separation device prevents the actuator from being contaminated by the fluid, and separates the components efficiently.
摘要:
An angular velocity sensor, which is able to reduce the variations of driving resonance frequency of the vibrator and to improve the reliability of the sensitivity of detection signal with respect to the angular velocity applied, is provided. The angular velocity sensor comprises a vibrator, and a tuning-fork as the vibrator is formed of a silicone substrate with crystal orientation (100) as its main face, and a side face nearly perpendicular to the driving direction (X direction) of the arm of the tuning-fork corresponds to a crystal orientation where the elastic modulus is less dependent on azimuth angle.
