摘要:
In labeling a cell, and separating and collecting the cell according to a degree of the labeling using a cell separator, effects on the cell is minimized and the use of the collected cell is facilitated, thereby, when labeling a cell, the cell is labeled in the state where interaction of each cell is retained. In the labeling, a specific labeling material present on a surface of a target cell is taken in the cell via a transporter, and the cell is dispersed one by one to separate the same with a cell separator. Immediately after the separation, the cell is put in a solution not containing the specific labeling substance to remove the specific labeling substance taken in the cell. This series of steps is continuously conducted with a cell separation chip.
摘要:
A fluorescent or luminescence image of at least part of a biological sample is imaged, then a transmission light image of at least part of the biological sample is imaged, and thereafter the fluorescent or luminescence image and the transmission light image are overlaid such that the identical area of the sample is coincided to display. The present invention allows detecting the accurate location of fluorescence or luminescence in a given part of the biological sample.

An apparatus is provided with a cell culture container having a cell culture region made of a hole formed on a substrate, a semi-permeable membrane covering a top plane of the cell culture region and a culture medium replacement part provided over the semi-permeable membrane, a mechanism for supplying a cell culture medium into the cell culture container, and a microscopic optical mechanism for enabling long-term observation of the cell within the cell culture region. This apparatus makes it possible to culture a cell group originating from a particular single cell, to perform culture and observation while identifying cells to be subjected to interaction during the process of culturing cells, and observe a difference in variation between the particular cell and other cells. There is also provided a mechanism which makes it possible to collect only a cell assuming a particular state and perform analysis or biochemical measurement of a gene of the cell, an expressed mRNA and the like.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for the recovery of nucleic acids from a nucleic acid-containing material by which nucleic acids can be rapidly and easily recovered at a high purity without deteriorating the yield. The methods are composed of step 1 for promoting the release of nucleic acids from a nucleic acid-containing material, step 2 for mixing the released nucleic acids with an accelerator substance for the binding of nucleic acids to a solid phase, step 3 for bringing the mixture in contact with a solid phase bondable to nucleic acids, step 4 for isolating the solid phase from a liquid, step 5 for washing the solid phase with a solution containing a salt, and a step 6 for eluting the nucleic acids from the solid phase. Accordingly, nucleic acids at a suitable purity for genetic tests or gene analyses can be rapidly and easily recovered without the use of hazardous substances. The apparatus may contain a reactor, at least one pipette, a purified product container, transport mechanisms for the reactor and purified product container, motors to control the pipette and transport mechanisms, a mechanical control unit to control the motors, and a computer that controls the mechanical control unit.
摘要:
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.
