A method for determining boundary points on electrophoretic densitograms comprising a bounding point judging step for locating boundary points on electrophoretic densitograms, a normal fraction judging step for judging whether or not the boundary points located by said boundary point judging step are normal, and a standard position computing step for determining standard positions on the basis of data having been judged as normal by said normal fraction judging step, said method being so adapted as to determine boundary points taking reference to the standard positions located by said standard position computing step by utilizing unknown samples for locating the standard positions and perform data processing without using standard samples.
摘要:
To facilitate fractionation of an electrophoretogram, the disclosed process differentiates signals representing the electrophoretogram so as to obtain the differential of the first order and to generate a first series of pulses representing changes of sign of the differential of the first order. The process differentiates again the differential of the first order so as to obtain the differential of the second order and generates a second series of pulses representing changes of sign of the differential of the second order. Output pulses are generated by logically processing the first and second series of pulses, whereby the electrophoretogram is fractionated on the basis of the timing of the output pulses.

A fractionating method in electrophoresis wherein, in order to make it possible to automatically and accurately fractionate a pattern obtained by the electrophoresis of a sample to be measured, respective peak tops or minimum points of the pattern obtained by electrophoresizing the sample to be measured are made to correspond to respective peak tops or minimum points to be obtained by electrophoresizing a normal sample by making the basic positions coincide with each other and the minimum points in the sample to be measured located in the positions nearest to the minimum points on the normal sample are made boundary points or the boundary points are determined on the basis of the ratios of the lengths from the basic position to the respective peak tops or minimum points in the sample to be meaured nearest to the values of the above mentioned ratios in the normal sample.

A sample detector is comprised of a first group of optical fibers having exit end surfaces arranged in the direction perpendicular to the shifting direction of the carrier, a second group of optical fibers having entrance end surfaces arranged opposite said exit end surfaces of the first group of optical fibers, a plural number of light emitting diodes arranged in the vicinity of the entrance end surfaces of the first group of optical fibers, a single photo detector element arranged in the vicinity of the exit end surfaces of the second group of optical fibers and a preamplifier connected to the output side of said photo detector element. Said sample detector is adapted in such a manner that the light emitting diodes are caused to glow consecutively, the light, having passed through the first group of optical fibers the carrier and the second group of optical fibers, is received by said photo-detector element, subjected to photoelectric conversion and amplified by said preamplifier. The presence of samples on the carrier is detected based on the outputs thus obtained.

摘要:
A method for detecting samples by comparing outputs corresponding to a carrier portion free from sample with those corresponding to a carrier portion onto which a sample is applied while detecting said outputs with a plural number of sample detectors arranged in the direction perpendicular to the shifting direction of a carrier, selecting a sample detector showing the highest output reduction ratio as the one to be utilized for sample detection and detecting the end edge of a sample as a time at which output of said sample detector changes from a level darker than a preset value to another level brighter than said preset value.
