摘要:
The present invention provides an adhesive sheet and a kit for microbial testing, which enable monitoring of the presence of a microorganism and/or the cell count thereof on a solid surface conveniently on a real time basis, and which accommodate to automated focusing during image analysis. The present invention relates to an adhesive sheet for microbial testing having at least a substrate and an adhesive layer, which adhesive layer is compression-bonded to, and peeled from, the surface of a test article to collect microorganisms, and the surface of the adhesive layer is then subjected to image analysis, wherein a marker for focusing the image is provided in the substrate, or in the adhesive layer, or on the surface thereof.
摘要:
A method for detecting microorganisms or cells wherein microorganisms or cells contained in a sample are captured on the surface of the adhesive layer of a collection sheet having a substrate layer containing a focusing marker, an adhesive layer having a predetermined thickness and deposited on this substrate layer, the microorganisms or cells are stained by a staining reagent, and after being automatically focused, the light receiving optical system or the collection sheet is moved relatively by a distance equivalent to that obtained by adding the distance from the surface of the substrate layer to the position of the focusing marker to the predetermined thickness of the adhesive layer from the focusing position by this autofocusing reference point, the microorganisms or cells on the adhesive layer are automatically focused, and a light is radiated on the focused adhesive layer to measure the image and detect the microorganisms or cells.
摘要:
A method of counting microorganisms or cells in a sample by labeling the microorganisms or cells with a fluorescent labeling reagent, which comprises contacting the sample containing the microorganisms or cells with an adhesive sheet having an adhesive layer laminated on at least one surface of a substrate to capture the sample; before fluorescent-labeling the microorganisms or cells, obtaining a first fluorescent image of the sample; after fluorescent-labeling the microorganisms or the cells, obtaining a second fluorescent image of the sample, and then determining the difference in the number of luminous points between the first and second images, or determining a differential image between the first and second images and determining the number of luminous points in this differential image, or determining the number of luminous points among the luminous points in the second image located outside non-sensitive regions attached to the individual luminous points in the first image.

摘要:
A cell culture device for transfecting a eukaryotic cell is disclosed. The cell culture/transfection device may be a multiwell plate or slide which has been coated with a metal salt such as CaCl2. Methods of using the cell culture device to transfect mammalian cells and/or to monitor cell transfection are described. Kits are also described which include the cell transfection device, eukaryotic cells to be transformed and nucleic acid for transformation.
摘要:
An apparatus for making a color proof. An original loading portion having a loading opening provided for loading the original is disposed side by side at an exposure portion so that a carriage may be substantially horizontally moved between the exposure position of the exposure portion and the copy exchange position of corresponding to the loading opening. When the original is exchanged and recharged, the loading opening is open by a lid member and when the carriage is positioned to the copy exchange position, the original is placed. Since the exposure portion and the like are not disposed upwardly of the original loading portion, the exposure unit and the like are not mounted with the result that the lid member can be made compact and lightweight while exchange of the original can be eased. In addition, the carriage is not withdrawn into the working space allowed for the operators.
摘要:
In a method of drying a photographic light-sensitive material by use of drying air, the amount of light-sensitive material which can be processed within a predetermined time at a set temperature of the drying air is compared with the totalized amount of the light-sensitive material to be actually processed within the predetermined time, and, on the basis of the result of this comparison, the set temperature of the drying air can be adjusted. An apparatus for drying photographic light-sensitive material by use of drying air is arranged so that the amount of light-sensitive material to be actually processed within a predetermined time is detected by a detecting sensor and the thus-detected amount is compared with the amount of light-sensitive material which can be dried. If the amount of light-sensitive material to be actually processed exceeds the amount of light-sensitive material which can be processed, such a display is conducted that the apparatus is not ready for insertion of further light-sensitive material. Accordingly, the light-sensitive material can consistently be dried at a proper drying temperature.
