    摘要: A cell separation module for separating and collecting cells having a charge and cells having no charge comprises a holder and a throwaway cell separation chamber held by the holder. Ultrasound is introduced into the cell separation chamber so as to allow force for causing cells to be put together to act into the cell separation chamber. In addition, an electrostatic force is allowed to act in the cell separation chamber so as to cause the cell to move by the charges of the cells. Competition between both the forces is used to separate the cells correspondingly to the freshness of the cells.

    摘要: In the present invention, a cardiomyocyte cluster is disposed on a transparent substrate, and the quality of the cardiomyocytes is evaluated from the response of the cells to a forced pulsation stimulus applied to the cardiomyocytes. The cardiomyocyte cluster is disposed on the transparent substrate, and is exposed to the flow of a liquid containing an agent in a manner so that the agent acts on the cells, which configure a network. The extent of cardiac toxicity resulting from the agent is evaluated from measuring the fluctuations obtained from a comparison of adjacent cardiomyocytes of the network.

    摘要: An inexpensive cell analysis and separation apparatus using a flow channel formed on one surface of a substrate and a chip replaceable for each sample, and a method for culturing the separated cells without contamination, are provided. A flow channel for allowing a cell-containing buffer solution to flow is provided. Cells are detected in the middle of the flow channel, and separated to a plurality of downstream flow channels based on whether each cell fulfills a predetermined condition. A culturing tank for collecting the condition-fulfilling cells is covered with a semipermeable membrane at a top surface so as to prevent contamination during cell separation. When the cell separation is finished, the flow channel communicated with the culturing tank accommodating the condition-fulfilling cells is closed, and the culturing tank is cut off from the apparatus and put into a culturing device containing a predetermined medium to culture the cells.

    摘要: A method of inspecting a DNA chip and an apparatus therefor that allow a picture to be reconstructed in the following steps: A plurality of irradiation spots are formed on a DNA probe array mounted on a stage. Then, the stage is displaced in X, Y directions so as to execute a scanning, thereby irradiating substantially all the entire surface of the DNA probe array. Next, a plurality of emitted fluorescent lights, which are generated from the plurality of irradiation spot portions on the DNA probe array, are converged and are then detected simultaneously by multi detectors. Finally, a data processing apparatus processes the detected signals, thereby reconstructing the picture.

The cell sorting device uses flow paths formed on the substrate and has the following structure. The chip includes: a first flow path allowing a buffer fluid containing cells to flow down; second and third flow paths which put the first flow path therebetween and allow a buffer fluid not containing cells to flow down from both sides of the first flow path; a fourth flow path which allows the buffer fluid as a single flow path formed by the join of the buffer fluid in the first flow path and the buffer fluid in the second and third flow paths; a cell detecting region for detecting cells flowing with a buffer fluid down the fourth flow path; a cell sorting region for sorting the cells according to a type of the cells detected. The first flow path, the second and the third flow paths, the fourth flow path, the cell detecting region and the cell sorting region provided in a cascade. Two flow paths are provided to allow the cells sorted to flow downstream of the cell sorting region. The buffer fluid flowing in the first to the fourth flow paths is supplied from reservoirs having the same fluid level. The first flow path and the fourth flow path are structured to have substantially the same width or cross-section area.
