摘要:
There have been the following problems with sequence analysis using multiple nanopores: trapping a sample in the nanopores is not always 100% efficient and unnecessary time is spent to measure pores in which no sample has been trapped, resulting in low measurement efficiency. To address the problems, a labeling substance is boned to a sample, and the sample to which the labeling substance has been bonded is trapped in the nanopores. An apparatus for observing the labeling substance is used to observe the labeling substance and monitor whether or not the sample has been trapped in the nanopores. Measuring only nanopores in which the sample has been trapped allows the measurement efficiency to be improved.

In order to provide a fluorescence detection apparatus having a high sensitivity, a high processing capacity and a competitive edge in cost, the fluorescence detection apparatus according to this invention irradiate the sample with light so that the aspect ratio of the form of the irradiated region by light on the arrangement surface of the sample may be 1±0.1. The preferable form of irradiate region is not limited to one and varies to some extent depending on the item to be optimized. The form of irradiated region may be, for example, a circle, an equilateral triangle, a square, a regular hexagon and the like.

摘要:
A capillary array electrophoresis which can measure fluorescence of a number of capillaries at a time with high sensitivity and can automatically analyze a sample sequentially. An end edge as a sample dissolution edge of a number of capillaries is connected to a polymer filling block having a mechanism of filling the polymer as an isolation medium inside a capillary. Fluorescence irradiated from an edge surface of an end edge portion of the capillary is detected through a detection window in which distance between an external surface and a detection surface is smaller than focal distance of an optical lens closest to a detection flat surface.

An end detection type capillary electrophoresis apparatus that enables high-speed electrophoresis at a high resolution. The capillary electrophoresis apparatus has an inner diameter of at least 20 μm and less than 80 μm, and satisfies the constraint that the inner diameter/glass outer diameter≧0.34. High fluorescence detection sensitivity is maintained and an analysis is carried out more quickly even as separation power improves.

The invention provides a method in which an annular or spiral droplet holder formed of wire is used to hold a droplet in a state of being hung therefrom or being contained therein. A means for moving the droplet holder is added to the droplet holder to enable droplet transfer. To merge two droplets, they are brought into contact. To drip the droplet held by a droplet holder formed of wire, the droplet holder is deformed using an external force. A light path which passes through a droplet is set to enable optical measurement. The present invention enables inexpensive, simple droplet transfer. An inexpensive, simple configuration for handling droplets in the fields of chemical analysis, biochemical analysis, and automatic blood analysis can be realized according to the present invention.

摘要:
Although analysis can be very quickly conducted at a low cost by a method for measuring a biopolymer using a nanopore, the accuracy of distinguishing the individual monopolymers constituting the biopolymer is low. To both ends of a biopolymer through a nanopore, molecules which are larger than the nanopore are attached and then the biopolymer is reciprocated by an external force to thereby perform repeated measurements.

An object of the present invention is to provide a capillary electrophoresis apparatus in which simultaneity can be ensured between sensitivity and data acquisition to decrease a pull-up signal while spectral data acquisition is eliminated in each capillary exchange. The invention relates to a capillary electrophoresis apparatus in which capillary position shift is detected in each capillary exchange by detecting a capillary position. A capillary position measuring light source is provided in the capillary electrophoresis apparatus of the invention. The capillary is irradiated with light emitted from the capillary position measuring light source, a capillary image is detected with a two-dimensional detector, and thereby a position deviation of the capillary is determined. On the basis of the position deviation of the capillary, a data acquisition area is set in the two-dimensional detector, or a reference fluorescent light spectrum determined from the capillary at the standard position is corrected.

The present invention relates to detection of an emission spectrum by irradiating excitation light onto a plurality of electrophoretic paths and dispersing fluorescent light output from the electrophoretic paths in a direction approximately vertical to an electrophoretic direction. According to the invention, since an emission spectrum to be detected does not substantially change over time, it becomes possible to make observed emission spectrums completely correspond to various fluorescent dyes or various bases.
