摘要:
A method of analyzing a nucleic acid fragment sample to judge whether the nucleic acid fragment sample is uncomplementary, partly complementary or complementary to a DNA fragment in its specific base sequence is conducted by the steps of: bringing an aqueous solution of the nucleic acid fragment sample into contact with a DNA chip having an electroconductive substrate and the DNA fragment fixed onto the substrate in the presence of an electrochemical thread intercalator; measuring an electric current flowing from or to the electroconductive substrate along the DNA fragment under application of a potential to the substrate; and comparing the electric current measured above with a referential electric current which is prepared employing a DNA chip equivalent to the above DNA chip, the intercalator, and an aqueous solution of a nucleic acid fragment which is complementary to the DNA fragment of the DNA chip.

A chemical analysis film cartridge with a box-like casing body having first and second end walls opposed to each other between which a plurality of dry frameless chemical analysis film chips are stored in a stack. A first opening is formed in a side wall of the casing body near the first end wall so that only the film chip nearest the first end wall can be taken out of the casing body through the first opening by moving the film chip in a direction perpendicular to the stack. A second openings which permits a suction pad to hold the film chip nearest the first end wall and to remove it from the casing body through the first openings is formed in the first end wall. The width of the first opening is larger than the thickness of one film chip and smaller than double the thickness of one film chip over at least a portion of the first opening. The suction pad is retracted with the film chip so that the film chip abuts against the edge of the second opening on opposite sides of the suction pads and then the suction pad is further retracted to pull the central portion of the film chip in this state into the second opening, thereby reshaping the film chip into a predetermined warped-shape conforming to the shape of the first opening.

An adhesion preventive material including a cross-linking polysaccharide derivative containing at least one active ester group introduced in a polysaccharide side chain, which is capable of reacting with an active hydrogen-containing group, and being capable of forming a crosslinked material due to covalent binding among the active ester group and an active hydrogen-containing group upon contact with water under an alkaline condition, is disclosed. The adhesion preventive material is able to reduce preparation works to be carried out while previously estimating the time of application and dose not require a special device.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a nucleic acid fragment-fixed electrode wherein a probe nucleic acid fragment is fixed on the electrode stably and in an amount-controlled manner. The present invention provides a nucleic acid fragment-fixed electrode wherein a nucleic acid fragment is fixed on the surface of a multi-component self-assembled monolayer of two or more different components which is formed on the electrode, by a covalent bond via a bifunctional linking molecule.

A portable bacteria detector not only simply capable of inspecting the presence of food-poisoning bacteria and the like but also provided with a disinfecting or sterilizing means itself has been widely used. As its application fields spread, the detector has been required to be more inexpensive and be constituted in a form allowing easier waste disposal. In a portable bacteria detector provided with a culture medium and a disinfectant or germicide, constituent members for the detector are formed of plastic materials which are easy to incinerate. Furthermore, once a sample has been collected and a process for detecting the presence of bacteria has been started, the detector can be operated in a completely closed system. In this bacteria detector, an external force is applied from a direction perpendicular to the axis of the detector to break off a fragile part inside the detector, thereby leading to the performance of a liquid chamber opening operation.

Hardened machined parts are manufactured from rolled or forged steel which consists essentially of 0.05 to 0.15 wt % of C, up to 0.50 wt % of Si, up to 1.5 wt % of Mn, 0.30 to 1.0 wt % of Cr, 0.50 to 1.0 wt % of Mo, one or more of elements selected from the group consisting of 0.10 to 0.40 wt % of V, 0.03 to 0.20 wt % of Ti, 0.03 to 0.20 wt % of Nb and 0.0005 to 0.0050 wt % of B, the balance being Fe, in the following steps: cooling the steel in air from 900.degree. C to 1,000.degree. C; machining the cooled steel; and subjecting the machined steel to a nitriding treatment at 500.degree. to 650.degree. C for 2 to 8 hours.
摘要:
A control unit of a multifunction image forming apparatus obtains document information concerning copied documents, scanner read documents, and e-mail documents, and stores the obtained document information to a storing unit of a document storing unit. The control unit counts usage frequency concerning each document stored in the document storing unit, and stores the information as usage frequency information. The control unit has the operator, who carries out document searching, input predetermined information. The control unit matches the input information, and determines whether the operator is an authorized person concerning the searched document. In a case where it is determined that the operator is a legitimate authorized person, the control unit displays the information of the documents stored in the document storing unit, in an order of high usage frequency, to a display unit of an input operation unit, based on the usage frequency information.

An object to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a method for determining the amount of a component contained in a specific lipoprotein fraction in a biological sample using an automatic analyzer, without the requirement of a step of fractionating a sample by centrifugation. The present invention provides a method for separating a target component in a biological sample, which comprises the steps of: (1) causing a biological sample to come into contact with independently dispersed magnetic nanoparticles having a particle size of 50 nm or less, which have anionic functional groups on their surfaces, so as to form an agglutinate of the magnetic nanoparticles and biomolecules capable of interacting with the magnetic nanoparticles; and (2) collecting the agglutinate by an external magnetic field.

It is an object of the invention to provide a multilayer analytical element having a porous where the property of the film is maintained and which is free from the liquid-amount dependency even in the case where a porous film is laminated. The present invention provides a dry multilayer analytical element for the analysis of a liquid sample which comprises a water-non-transmitting planar support on one side of which at least one functional layer and a porous liquid-sample-developing layer consisting of at least one non-fibrous porous are integrally layered in the mentioned order, wherein the non-fibrous porous film contains a water-soluble polymer in such a manner that it does not interact with the functional layer.
