    Abstract: An object is to provide a device that can measure a moving time (velocity) of a single particle with high accuracy, and an ion current measuring apparatus and a zeta potential measuring apparatus with the device, and an ion current measuring method and a zeta potential measuring method. The object can be achieved by a device used for measurement of ion current, the device including: a substrate; and a channel formed in the substrate. The channel includes a sample liquid supply channel, a sample collection channel, and constricted channel formed between the sample liquid supply channel and the sample collection channel. The constricted channel includes three or more constricted parts each formed with a protrusion part, the three or more constricted parts are formed substantially straight in a direction from the sample liquid supply channel to the sample collection channel, and when the width of each of the constricted parts is defined as 1, the spacing between adjacent constricted parts is 0.5 to 3.

    Abstract: Provided are a virus measuring method, a virus measuring device, a virus determining program, a stress determining method, and a stress determining device. A virus measuring method includes a contact step of bringing a liquid specimen containing a body fluid of a subject and an electrolytic solution into contact with each other via a through-hole portion formed in a separating wall, a current measuring step of applying a voltage to the liquid specimen and the electrolytic solution with respect to the through-hole portion and obtaining a waveform of an ionic current flowing through the through-hole portion, and a virus determining step of determining the kind of a virus contained in the body fluid on the basis of the waveform. In the virus determining step, the kind of the virus is determined by comparing the waveform with waveform information that corresponds to a known virus and is obtained beforehand.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a number analyzing method, a number analyzing device, and a storage medium for number analysis, which enable, with high accuracy, analysis of the number or number distribution of particulate or molecular analytes according to the kinds of the analytes. A computer control program is executed on the basis of a data group of particle-passage detection signals which are detected by a nanopore device (8) in accordance with passage of subject particles through a through-hole (12). Also, a particle type distribution estimating program, which is a number deriving means, is executed, to estimate probability density on the basis of a data group based on feature values indicating feature of the waveforms of pulse signals which correspond to the passage of particles and which are obtained as the particle-passage detection signals. Thus, the number of particles can be derived for each particle type.
