Abstract:
Provided is a method capable of reliably separating part (e.g., a collection liquid) of an accommodated substance (e.g., a manipulation medium for performing physical, chemical, and/or biochemical treatment and a collection liquid containing a target substance) accommodated in the same space of a vessel-shaped structure only by simple mechanical operation without any contact with an outside atmosphere. A method for separating a vessel-shaped structure comprising subjecting a vessel-shaped structure 1, which includes a vessel portion a, a vessel portion b, and a self-fusing material X connecting the both vessel portions, and which accommodates a substance selected from the group consisting of a liquid, a solid, a gas, and a dispersion system, to the steps: (i) pulling the vessel portion a and the vessel portion b away from each other to extend the self-fusing material X; (ii) fusing the extended self-fusing material X together between the vessel portion a and the vessel portion b to separate the accommodated substance; and (iii) cutting a fused part of the self-fusing material X to separate the vessel-shaped structure 1 into a separated structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a suppressor using one ion-exchange tube which has an inner diameter close to that of a tube connected to a separation column and which is constituted by an ion-exchange membrane. The ion-exchange tube is folded or wound more than once in a plane into a sheet form to provide an ion-exchange tube sheet through which an eluate from a separation column flows. The ion-exchange tube sheet is accommodated in a container. The container provides a regenerant flow channel so that a regenerant is allowed to flow on both sides of the ion-exchange tube sheet.
Abstract:
[Problems] To immobilize a chain-type biopolymer in an elongated state at a predetermined position on a substrate.[Means for Solving Problems] A substrate (1) for immobilizing a biopolymer, which has a mask layer (2) provided with multiple through-holes at predetermined positions on a flat active face, is brought into contact with a solution containing a chain-type biopolymer (7). After thus immobilizing the nucleic acid molecule (7) on the active face within a through-hole (3) via physical adsorption or chemical binding, the mask layer (2) is dissolved in a solvent and thus removed while leaving the nucleic acid molecule (7a) alone having been immobilized on the active face within the through-hole (3). Subsequently, the nucleic acid molecule (7a) having been immobilized on the active face is elongated.

Abstract:
A water purifying apparatus of compact construction. The water purifying apparatus has a water channel for receiving water via an inflow passage and discharging water via an outflow passage. An electrically conductive filter is disposed in and fully occupies a portion of the water channel for purifying water flowing through the filter. A first electrode is electrically connected to the filter, and a second electrode, disposed in the filter, is electrically connected to the filter via water flowing through the filter. A battery supplies voltage between the first and second electrodes. A switch controls application of the voltage from the batteries to the first and second electrodes. A circuit board having a control circuit is disposed above the first electrode, the second electrode and the switch. The circuit board is electrically connected to the various electronic components.
Abstract:
A filter of a water purifying apparatus main body which is housed in a sink is made as a positive electrode, and a DC voltage is applied, by a dry battery cell, between the filter and a negative electrode in a purified water passage. Thus, microbes are prevented from proliferating in tap water which remains in the water purifying apparatus main body. A discharge pipe of the water faucet used exclusively for purified water is made as a negative electrode, and a DC voltage is applied, by the dry battery cell, between the positive electrode in the outlet of a cartridge and the discharge pipe. Thus, microbes are prevented from proliferating in tap water which remains in the water faucet used exclusively for purified water.

Abstract:
A carbon-based adsorbent comprising active carbon provided with electron-donative surface functional groups which are bonded directly and chemically to graphite constructing the surface of the active carbon and are coordinated with metallic ions to form chelate structures, which has adsorbing power similar to that of common active carbon and additionally the ability to remove specific harmful gas molecules and smelling gas molecules from air, thus being especially effective for gas filters.
