An object of the present invention is to provide a method for stably forming an artificial lipid membrane while suppressing the leakage and evaporation of an electrolytic solution. The present invention is an artificial lipid membrane forming method for forming an artificial lipid membrane using an artificial lipid membrane forming apparatus. The artificial lipid membrane forming apparatus comprises a first chamber, a second chamber, a dividing wall, and an artificial lipid membrane forming portion. Each of the first chamber and the second chamber has a capacity of not smaller than 10 pl and not larger than 200 μl. The artificial lipid membrane forming method of the present invention comprises the steps of: preparing the artificial lipid membrane forming apparatus; adding to the first chamber a first electrolytic solution having a viscosity of not lower than 1.3 mPa·s and not higher than 200 mPa·s; adding a lipid solution to the artificial lipid membrane forming portion; adding to the second chamber a second electrolytic solution having a viscosity of not lower than 1.3 mPa·s and not higher than 200 mPa·s; and forming the artificial lipid membrane.
摘要:
A corpuscle/plasma separating part is disposed at the lower end of the substrate, and a sensor part connected to the corpuscle/plasma separating part is disposed at the upper end of the substrate, with a calibration solution reservoir being disposed on the lower side of the sensor part, and a calibration solution waste reservoir being disposed on the upper side of the sensor part. A first centrifugal axis is located upper to the corpuscle fraction storing part and lower to the plasma fraction storing part of the corpuscle/plasma separating part, while a second centrifugal axis is located within or close to the sensor part. Conveyance and discharge of the calibration solution can be carried out by performing centrifugation around the first centrifugal axis which is distant from the sensor part at a low speed of rotation, so that the centrifugal force exerted on the sensors would be small. During the centrifuge operation at a high speed of rotation for the separation of blood corpuscles, centrifugation can be performed around the second centrifugal axis so that the centrifugal force exerted on the sensors is small. Centrifuge operation allows separation of the blood corpuscles and blood plasma, and conveyance of the blood plasma and the calibration solution, as Well as certain discharge of the calibration solution from the sensors, thereby allowing precise analysis. Any damage in the sensors due to strong centrifugal force during the separation of blood corpuscles and blood plasma can be prevented.
