Abstract: The present invention provides a measuring device which includes: a first container and a second container that are arranged adjacent to each other; and a partition wall provided between the first and second containers, the partition wall having a through hole(s) for forming a lipid bilayer(s). In this measuring device, a gas flow path(s) having a hydrophobic surface is/are formed in at least one of the first and second containers; the gas flow path(s) has/have an inlet and an outlet; the inlet and the outlet each communicate with the exterior of the measuring device; the gas flow path(s) open(s) into the container in which it/they is/are formed; and a gas flowing in the gas flow path(s) contacts the droplet filled in the container.

Abstract: Disclosed are a separator for lipid bilayer membrane formation capable of forming a lipid bilayer membrane with excellent properties, wherein the separator for lipid bilayer membrane formation has sufficient mechanical strength and can be easily manufactured in a large scale by using a general-purpose machine without need of using an expensive machine, and a method of producing the separator. The separator for lipid bilayer membrane formation includes a thin film having one or more through holes and made of a resin capable of being wet-etched, and reinforcing layers covering both surfaces of the thin film and made of a resin capable of being wet-etched. The reinforcing layers cover the whole area of the thin film, except for the through holes and the peripheries thereof, and each through hole has a tapered cross-sectional shape.
