    摘要: The inventive liquid separator of laboratory use can overcome the problems in the conventional separatory funnels used for liquid-liquid phase separation. The inventive apparatus comprises (a) a first bottle-like vessel with a mouth, (b) a second bottle-like vessel with a mouth connected with the first vessel at the mouths with air-tightness but disconnectable therefrom, (c) a porous membrane partitioning the first and the second vessels and made, preferably, of a sintered body of a water-repellent plastic resin such as a fluorocarbon polymer, and (d) an air-passage tubing opening at the ends in the first and the second vessels. When a two-phase mixture of an aqueous liquid and an organic liquid is taken in the first vessel positioned above the second vessel, the organic liquid can pass through the porous membrane to be transferred into the second vessel but the aqueous liquid is retained in the first vessel by virtue of the water-repellency of the fluorocarbon polymer. The air-passage tubing serves as an air escape from the second vessel to the first so as not to disturb the down-flow of the liquid through the porous membrane.

    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.
