Abstract:
The present invention provides a technique for automating the operation to peel off and remove a lid seal part adhered and fixed to the top face of a substrate part constituting a lid-sealed “microchip” after subjecting a sample solution to be analyzed to electrophoretic separation. After subjecting sample solution to be analyzed to desired electrophoretic separation the by utilizing a channel formed in the lid-sealed microchip, the electrophoretically separated liquid sample held in the channel undergoes freezing of the aqueous solvent contained and then, while the whole electrophoretically separated liquid sample remains sustained in the frozen state, an end of the lid seal part used for sealing the top face of channel formed in the substrate part is lifted up at a predetermined speed so as to peel and remove it from the substrate part under a condition of maintaining a bend of a predetermined radius of curvature.

The switching element of the present invention includes: an ion conduction layer (4) in which metal ions can move freely; a first electrode (1) that contacts the ion conduction layer (4); and a second electrode (2) that contacts the ion conduction layer (4), that is formed such that the ion conduction layer (4) is interposed between the first electrode (1) and the second electrode (2), and that supplies metal ions to the ion conduction layer (4) or that receives metal ions from the ion conduction layer (4) to cause precipitation of the metal that corresponds to the metal ions. An introduction path (5) composed of the metal and of a prescribed width is further provided on the ion conduction layer (4) for electrically connecting the first electrode (1) and the second electrode (2). The application of voltage to the first electrode (1) relative to the second electrode (2) then causes an electrochemical reaction between the introduction path (5) and the second electrode (2) whereby the electrical characteristics are switched.
Abstract:
After a sample is previously separated into plural components in a channel formed in a microchip (353), the channel is irradiated along a separation direction with a laser beam from a laser oscillator (361) to sequentially ionize each fraction separated in the channel. The ionized fraction is detected by a mass spectrometry unit (363) and analyzed by an analytical result analyzing unit (371). The analytical result is stored in a memory (369) while associated with position information in a driver control unit (367) and information on laser beam irradiation condition in a laser control unit (373), and the analytical result is imaged by an imaging unit (375). The imaged analytical result is displayed on a display (377).
