Abstract:
The present invention relates to a detector calibration method which enables the measurement of absolute power, uses a power meter with traceability to the national standard for optical power to calibrate the power of each photodetector device of a detector with photodetector device arrays arranged in one dimension or two dimensions and to calibrate the output signals of the detector, and makes it possible to measure the spatial distribution of a light source's power and also values of optical power with traceability to the national standard directly from the output signals of the detector.
Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to realize a chemical reaction cartridge, which enables prescribed protocols to be achieved easily without differences among operators, which is sealed and disposable, and which has a safe structure against viruses or dangerous drugs. This cartridge is intended to be used for performing chemical reaction of samples, comprising a container formed of a rigid substrate and an elastic body, wherein two or more chambers linked or arranged to be able to be linked through flow paths are formed in said container, and wherein said flow paths, said chambers or both are partially closed by applying an external force to said elastic body from outside said container, thereby being able to move or block fluid substance in said flow paths or chambers.
Abstract:
The equipment of the present invention can implement high-speed hybridization with a simple construction and is configured as described below. The equipment comprises a biochip prepared by fixing biopolymers onto a plurality of sites on a substrate, positive and negative electrodes for generating an electric field along the surface of this biochip substrate, and a magnetic field generating means for generating a magnetic field along the surface of the above biochip substrate, and is configured to move biopolymers movable in the fluid stored over the above-mentioned biochip substrate along the surface of the above biochip substrate as well as to attract the above described biopolymers towards the surface of the above biochip substrate during hybridization of the above biopolymers, by making the above-mentioned electric and magnetic fields act along the surface of the above biochip substrate.
