Abstract:
A liquid treatment method according to an aspect of the present disclosure comprises: starting application of a power between a pair of electrodes to generate plasma, which causes active species to be produced in a liquid; measuring the hydrogen ion concentration in the liquid while the plasma is generated; measuring a time elapsed after the starting the application of the power; and stopping the application of the power when a value calculated by (a) multiplying the hydrogen ion concentration by the elapsed time or (b) integrating the hydrogen ion concentration with respect to the elapsed time is larger than a first threshold.
Abstract:
A liquid treatment unit includes: a treatment tank provided with an inlet and an outlet, the treatment tank having a shape that allows a portion of liquid to be retained; a controller that controls supply of liquid into the treatment tank and ejection of liquid from the treatment tank; and a plasma generator generates plasma in the liquid inside the treatment tank. The plasma generator generates plasma while the controller stops supply of liquid and ejection of liquid. After the liquid has been treated, the controller resumes the supply of liquid, and causes the liquid to be ejected from the treatment tank while allowing a portion of the treated liquid to be retained inside the treatment tank.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for determining whether or not a capillary filled with an electrophoretic medium is suitably used for electrophoresis before electrophoresis is performed using the analytes. The method comprises (a) applying an alternating-current voltage between a first electrode which is in contact with a first electrolyte solution in which one end of the capillary is immersed and a second electrode which is in contact with a second electrolyte solution in which the other end of the capillary is immersed to measure an electric conductivity of the electrophoresis medium with which an inside of the capillary is filled; and (b) determining that the capillary filled with the electrophoresis medium fails to be used suitably for the electrophoresis, when the electric conductivity is more than 4.2 mS/cm.
