摘要:
A method for immobilizing living microorganisms includes a step (1) of disposing a solution containing microorganisms as an electrolyte on the surface of a substrate at least one portion of which is an electrode, and applying a constant potential to the electrode to cause at least a portion of the microorganisms to attach to the surface of the substrate. The constant potential in step (1) is greater than −0.5 V but not greater than −0.2 V (vs Ag/AgCl) or greater than +0.2 V but not greater than +0.4 V (vs Ag/AgCl). The electrolyte in step (1) does not contain a source of nutrition for the microorganisms.

A method for preparing animal cells with good adhesion and proliferation properties which are capable of proliferation is provided. the method permits the detachment of cultured cells without damaging the cells. A method for preparing a sheet of animal cells such as skin cells which are capable of proliferation is also provided. A method for preparing animal cells capable of proliferation, comprising the steps of (1) culturing animal cells on a substrate at least one portion of which is an electrode, and (2) applying a high-frequency wave potential to the electrode to detach the cells that have adhered to the substrate surface through culturing. The high-frequency wave potential is of a frequency falling within a range of 1 KHz to 10 MHz with a potential falling within a range of ±1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) or less. The culture medium during separation does not contain calcium or magnesium.

A new means of separately arranging individual animal cells on a substrate surface is provided. A method for preparing a substrate for arranging animal cells in an array, comprising steps (1) to (3): (1) preparing a substrate having adsorption surfaces in an array on an electrode substrate surface; (2) causing an extracellular matrix to adsorb to the electrode surface and the adsorption surfaces of the substrate; and (3) applying a weak potential to the electrode to cause the extracellular matrix on the electrode surface to separate to obtain a substrate with the extracellular matrix adhered to the adsorption surfaces thereof. A method for preparing a substrate on which animal cells have been arranged in an array, comprising steps (1) to (4): (1) preparing a substrate having adsorption surfaces in an array on an electrode substrate surface; (2) causing an extracellular matrix to adsorb to the electrode surface and the adsorption surfaces of the substrate; (3) applying a weak potential to the electrode to cause the extracellular matrix on the electrode surface to separate to obtain a substrate with extracellular matrix adhered to the adsorption surfaces thereof; and (4) culturing the animal cells on the surface of the substrate obtained in (3) to obtain a substrate on which the animal cells have adhered to the adsorption surface.
