Abstract:
A cell-capturing filter that filters out cells includes a metallic porous film having a plurality of through holes that extend through a first main surface and a second main surface, which are opposite to each other. The metallic porous film includes a filtering portion including the plurality of through holes, and a frame portion disposed to surround an outer periphery of the filtering portion. In the filtering portion, a first film thickness of the metallic porous film at a center of the filtering portion is smaller than a second film thickness of the metallic porous film at a portion located closer to the frame portion than the center of the filtering portion.
Abstract:
A filter includes a plurality of first through holes which are periodically formed. At least one of the plurality of first through holes is divided by a plurality of second through holes that are smaller than the first through holes. With such a configuration, the cell aggregate having the desired size can be easily sampled.
Abstract:
A filtration filter comprises a metallic mesh having a circumferential shape and radially inner and outer portions. The metallic mesh is adapted to filter out a filtration target object contained in a fluid passing through the membrane. First and second frame members hold the outer portion there between so as to create first and second bent sections separated by a transition section extending between the first and second bent sections. The transition section includes at least one streaked projection.
Abstract:
A filtration method for filtration of nucleated cells that includes providing a filter containing at least one of a metal and a metal oxide as a major component thereof and having a plurality of through-holes therein, and passing a liquid containing the nucleated cells through the filter. The diameter of an inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes is smaller than the size of the nuclei of the nucleated cells, and the inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes touches all sides defining an opening of the through-hole.

Abstract:
A film-shaped aperture array includes a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposed to each other and a plurality of apertures penetrating the first principal surface and the second principal surface. A projection projecting from the second principal surface in a normal direction of the second principal surface is provided in at least one region in contact with three or more of the plurality of apertures in a part of the second principal surface, when viewed in plan from the normal direction of the second principal surface.
Abstract:
A metal mesh has a plurality of through-holes. A photosensitive organic material is attached to at least part of the metal mesh. The metal mesh is sterilized and/or cleaned. A determination of whether or not the sterilization and/or cleaning has been successful is made by analyzing the photosensitive organic material attached to the metal mesh.
Abstract:
A void-arranged structure that includes a pair of principal surfaces opposing each other and a plurality of void sections that penetrate through the pair of principal surfaces. The void-arranged structure is configured of a plurality of unit structures each of which includes a first void section and a second void section having a different shape from a shape of the first void section, and the overall shape of the unit structure, when the principal surface is viewed from above, is not mirror-symmetric with respect to a predetermined imaginary plane orthogonal to the principal surface of the void-arranged structure.
Abstract:
A measurement method is disclosed for measuring the presence or absence of an object to be measured or the quantity thereof, and the measurement method includes irradiating an electromagnetic wave on a void-arranged structural body holding the object to be measured, and detecting characteristics of an electromagnetic wave scattered by the void-arranged structural body. The void-arranged structural body has a plurality of void portions penetrating in a direction perpendicular to a primary surface thereof, and at least a part of the object to be measured is held by the void-arranged structural body with carrier particles provided therebetween.
Abstract:
A measurement device that includes a device main unit including at least one cavity for accommodating an analyte containing a specimen and an aperture array structure including a plurality of apertures extending therethrough in a direction perpendicular to a principal surface thereof. The aperture array structure is fixed such that part or all of the aperture array structure is positioned in the cavity.
