Abstract:
A device comprises a means for radiating ultrasound from one face of a chamber holding a sample solution containing particles to be concentrated, and a reflective face inclined to the face irradiated with the ultrasound. The frequency of the ultrasound radiated from the ultrasound radiating means is changed periodically and asymmetrically with the passage of time.
Abstract:
A rectangular-shaped holder containing sample solution is moved within a temperature adjusting box by a feeder. Then, the holder is moved by another feeder to the direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the holder by a length equal to the width of the single holder. The holders thus sequentially fed within the temperature adjusting box are disposed within the box in a closely contacted state from one another. There are three holders within the temperature adjusting box in advance and four holders are stayed within the box. Rectangular-shaped four heaters are disposed within the temperature adjusting box such that the heating temperature thereof is controlled by a temperature adjusting controller. A compensation heater controlled by a temperature compensating controller compensates for a heat quantity shifted to the holder having been newly housed within the temperature adjusting box from the holders already housed within the temperature adjusting box.
Abstract:
There are beforehand prepared a monomer having a reaction residue and a polynucleotide probe set comprising plural kinds of polynucleotide probes having a residue bonded to the reaction residue. The monomer is mixed with each kind of polynucleotide probes comprising any plural probes selected from the polynucleotide probe set. Each kind of the resultant mixtures is added to each of different small holes to make the mixture into gel matrix. Thus, a polynucleotide probe chip is produced. Sample DNA is forcibly migrated in the gels by electrophoresis. Laser light is projected onto the side face of the chip. The fluorescence emitted from the whole surface of the chip is collectively detected with a high-sensitive two-dimensional detector. Thus, the polynucleotide probe chip, holding various kinds of DNA probes, for detecting DNA can be provided. This chip has high hybridization-efficiency and makes high-sensitivity and high-speed DNA detection possible.
Abstract:
Different probes each having a specific base sequence are immobilized to each of independent areas formed on the surface of a substrate, complementary polynucleotides in a sample solution are hybridized to the probes, and each of the independent areas on the substrate is heated and then cooled in sequence, and hence the solution is recovered to extract different polynucleotides separately corresponding to individual probes.
Abstract:
Using a mixed sample of a plurality of phosphoric acid compounds different in chemical structure as a sample for measurement, a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal obtained through polarization transfer between .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P is observed and signals obtained without polarization transfer are eliminated, whereby .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal spectrum of an .sup.17 O-labeled phosphoric acid is selectively observed. For this purpose, a double resonance NMR detector capable of exciting .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P at the same time is connected to an NMR spectrometer, and using a pulse train which permits observation of a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal obtained through polarization transfer between .sup.17 O and .sup.31 P, a .sup.31 P nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the .sup.17 O-labeled phosphoric acid is observed, and signals for .sup.17 O-unlabeled .sup.31 P are eliminated.

Abstract:
By providing an ultrasonic irradiation apparatus for generating acoustic cavitation efficiently, it is intended to realize an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus for generating the action of cavitation on a living body suitable for medical treatment of malignant tumors and medical treatment of thrombi and calculi, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for generating cavitation for emphasizing an ultrasonic echo image such as a blood flow and utilizing the reflection capability of the cavitation, an ultrasonic chemical reaction accelerating apparatus, an ultrasonic cleaning apparatus or an ultrasonic sterilizing apparatus. Irradiation focus/code signals for defining irradiated acoustic fields of a fundamental wave and a second harmonic wave as well as focus positions/acoustic pressure distribution forms of the respective waves are applied from an irradiation unit main control circuit to drive phase generating circuits. Generated drive phases are applied to drive signal generating circuits, generated drive signals are applied to element drive circuits and a group of fundamental frequency elements and a group of second harmonic elements are driven. The drive phases are controlled such that the fundamental wave and second harmonic wave are superimposed on each other in a medium near a focal point, thus generating acoustic caviation locally and efficiently.
Abstract:
Deterioration of performance of a separation column for liquid chromatograph due to changes in the functional groups during the preservation or application is prevented by filling a solution containing a component in the molecule with the same structure as that of the chemical function group of a packing material for the separation column as a filling liquid together with the packing material in the separation column, and also by washing the separation column with the same filling liquid as a washing solution after the analysis and retaining the washing solution therein, whereby the preservation stability of the separation column is improved and the separation column can be preserved at room temperature.
Abstract:
In the analysis of hemoglobins in blood samples by chromatography, an increase in the pressure in a flow passage line is suppressed, a separation column is made durable against prolonged use by supplying phosphate-based buffer solutions as eluting solutions to a separation column to a separation column and a solution containing not more than 100 mM of S-(carboxyalkyl)-L-cysteine and phosphate-based buffer agent thereto in the course of a series of analyzing steps.
