A method for producing a capillary bead array comprises the steps of: dispensing beads into a liquid pool, outside a capillary, having a depth of almost the same length as the particle diameter of a bead; leveling the excessive beads by moving a leveling member which is in contact with and relatively capable of be moved to the liquid pool to remove excessive beads that the liquid pool cannot contain; aligning the beads in the liquid pool one- or two-dimensionally; bonding adjacent individual beads to each other; producing a structure having the plurality of beads bonded and aligned one- or two-dimensionally; removing the structure from the liquid pool; and disposing the structure in the capillary formed of soft resin, so that the beads comprising the plurality of beads retaining the one- or two-dimensional alignment can be introduced simultaneously into the capillary. This method reduces the time and cost necessary for bead array production and retains the bead alignment in the capillary, resulting in improved accuracy and reliability in experiments using the capillary array.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for arraying beads that allow a bead array having been difficult in mass production to be manufactured easily and accurately are provided. Beads are once arrayed in a separate container using an inclined bead array apparatus while controlling the number of beads to be inserted simply by the use of a bead control rod. When the whole arraying is completed, the arrayed beads are transferred onto a plate for use in an actual reaction.

A test chip, which allows a number of solution delivery steps much faster and accurate is provided. The test chip incorporates a sample flow path for containing a sample solution, a reaction flow path for inducing a predetermined reaction with the sample solution, a waste drain path for receiving the used sample, and the washing solution flow paths for containing washing solutions. The reaction flow path contains a plurality of beads having probes of mutually different types fixed thereon. The sample flow path, washing solution flow paths, and sample waste drain path have their respective solution detector units. The solution detector unit detects whether the solution is fed to the path. The detector units adjoiningly provided in the adjacent paths are arranged collinearly.

A slide mechanism for a shutter, installed on a cartridge case of a disk cartridge, which is slidable in both right and left directions relative to the cartridge case from a neutral position at which a head access opening is closed by the shutter, and which is constituted by a smaller number of components and easy to assemble. The case has a groove which forms between a pair of counterparts forming the case itself; the shutter is biased toward a neutral position at which the shutter closes the head access opening; and the shutter has a projecting part which slidably engages the groove. The shutter is divided by a connecting portion of the upper wall side shutter plate and the lower wall side shutter plate, and the shutter is fixed together after the shutter plates are assembled to the cartridge case.

The present invention is directed to provide a preparation chip system having a simpler configuration and improved reliability while addressing the case where a plurality of reagents have to be fed as in a preparation of extracting DNA from a sample solution. The preparation chip system includes a sample chamber, a dissolving solution chamber, a cleaning solution chamber, an eluting solution chamber, a mixing passage connected to the sample chamber and the dissolving solution chamber and mixing the sample and the dissolving solution with each other, a carrier part connected to the mixing passage, a waste chamber connected to the carrier part via a holding passage, a collection chamber holding the eluting solution passed through the carrier part, and a plurality of resistive materials forming a passage resistor disposed in a first passage connecting the cleaning solution chamber with both the mixing passage and the carrier part. The eluting solution is passed through the carrier part by pressure from a pressure source.
