Abstract:
Provided is a component analysis device, which comprises an analysis unit for measuring a component fed to the plurality of containers and analyzing the component thus measured, wherein the plurality of containers are at least a first container and a second container, wherein the first container retains a first solution containing a substance that releases adhesion between multiple cells forming the liver cell tissue, and the second container retains a buffer solution, and wherein the analysis unit measures an amount of the component discharged from the liver cell tissue in the first container into the first solution and an amount of the component discharged from the liver cell tissue in the second container into the buffer solution in the second container, and analyzes an amount of the component to be discharged via a bile duct in the liver cell tissue.
Abstract:
Application of the present invention enables quantification of fractions of candidate pharmaceutical compounds (a parent compound and its metabolites), one excreted to the basolateral (Basal/Basolateral)-side via transporters and by diffusion, one excreted to the lumen (Apical)-side, and one remained in the cells. This enables determination of the total amount of the administered candidate pharmaceutical compounds and the distribution ratio of the fractions. The kinetics of the administered candidate pharmaceutical compounds can be evaluated, thereby enabling in vitro screening of an enormous number of candidate pharmaceutical compounds for drug candidates exhibiting the efficacy. The object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for understanding a total picture of pharmacokinetics in vitro by quantifying a fraction of basolateral (Basal/Basolateral) efflux, a fraction of lumen (Apical)-side excretion, and a fraction remaining in a cell of a drug which has been administered to the cell to determine the distribution ratio of each fraction.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pretreatment apparatus that performs concentration and separation of a sample, and in particular, in order to provide a sample pretreatment apparatus using a solid-phase extraction column, and a mass spectrometer using the same, which is particularly suitable for clinical analysis in which qualitative/quantitative analysis of a biological sample such as blood is performed, according to each operational step for a solid-phase extraction treatment, for example, a collection device serving as flow passages or containers for collection of waste liquid or extracted matter is installed on a bottom face of the solid-phase extraction column, and the extracted matter is separately collected without being mixed with waste liquid by switching the positions of the collection device.
