摘要:
To enable reuse of expensive microchips in a clinical analysis apparatus, while constantly and efficiently obtaining accurate analysis results. A clinical apparatus employs microchips to analyze substances, which are contained in samples and are targets of measurement. The clinical analysis apparatus is equipped with: a stocking section; a dispensing mechanism, for dispensing reagents stocked in the stocking section and samples to the microchips; and a measuring section, for measuring the measurement target substance within the samples. The measuring section includes: a dispensing station, at which the microchips are provided; a detecting station, for detecting the measurement target substance; and a cleansing station, at which microchips are cleansed following detection of the measurement target substance. The dispensing station, the detecting station, and the cleansing station are provided at a predetermined pitch from upstream to downstream positions. The microchips are continuously rotated through the stations to perform measurement repeatedly.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for separating components in a liquid specimen and an apparatus used in said method, by which it is possible to avoid carryover even when the specimen injector is not washed using washing solution and also to avoid the increase of inner pressure in column of the separation device or ineffective separating operation even when many liquid specimens are separated by many times using the same separation device. In the present invention, the liquid specimen is introduced into the separation device from a direction opposite to eluting direction of the separation device which retains an adsorbent, and by separating and eluting the specimen from eluting outlet together with the eluant, trace quantity of insoluble substances and the specimen remained on the specimen introducing passage can be removed by elution procedure. As a result, it is possible to avoid carryover, to prevent the increase of inner pressure in the column of the separation device and to prevent ineffective separating operation caused by clogging of the column.

摘要:
The degree of a structure change of the sugar chain of a glycoprotein caused by a disease can be measured with high precision rapidly by separating and measuring two or more forms of glycoproteins which are different in sugar chain structure but have substantially the same protein structure, by using a combination of a lectin capable of recognizing the specific sugar chain structure of at least one of these glycoprotein analytes to be measured, and a first antibody which has a property of binding to all the glycoprotein analytes but is kept from binding to glycoprotein analyte(s) having the lectin attached thereto; and separating and measuring glycoprotein analyte(s) having the first antibody attached thereto and glycoprotein analyte(s) having no first antibody attached thereto, by utilizing differences in properties between the former glycoprotein analyte(s) and the latter glycoprotein analyte(s).
摘要:
An oxidase selected from the group consisting of glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, choline oxidase and glucose oxidase can be stabilized by adding thereto an acidic amino acid or a salt thereof. The resulting stabilized composition can be used for quantitatively determining the content of glycerol-3-phosphate, choline, triglyceride, glucose, etc., in a biological fluid.

An oligosaccharide derivative of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is --SR.sup.2, ##STR2## R.sup.1 is an optically detectable group, etc.; R.sup.2 is alkyl or substituted alkyl; and n is zero or 1-5, is effective as a substrate for measuring .alpha.-amylase activity and can be synthesized easily in high yield.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for separating a target for measurement utilizing electrophoresis, particularly capillary electrophoresis efficiently in high sensitivity and in a short period of time. It also relates to a method for measuring said target separated by said method for separation. The invention provides a method for separating a target for measurement and a method for measuring said target separated by said method for separation, characterized by using a substance to which is bound a nucleic acid chain labeled by a marker and which has an affinity for said target for measurement.
