    Abstract: A sterile connector has a first connector including a first housing provided with a first flow channel; a first pipeline connected to the first flow channel; first and second openings, the first opening being positioned inward from the second opening; and a first sealing member covering the second opening. Also, a second connector includes a second housing provided with a second flow channel; a third opening; and a second sealing member covering the third opening. The first and second connectors are detachable from each other. The first sealing member seals a space between the inner circumferential surface of the first housing and the outer circumferential surface of the second housing, while the second sealing member seals a space between the inner circumferential surface of the second housing and the outer circumferential surface of the first pipeline so that the first flow channel communicates with the second flow channel.

    Abstract: A flow cell for electrochemical measurement which introduces a sample solution, applies a voltage between a working electrode and a counter electrode to analyze the sample solution electrochemically, discharges the sample solution, and performs the electrochemical measurement continuously. The flow cell includes a unit which measures a value of a current flowing between electrodes at the time of applying a voltage, a unit which records the measured current value, a unit which compares the recorded current value with a current value set separately as a determination standard, and a unit which determines whether the current value measured at a cycle of a determination target and the recorded current value is normal by the comparison.

    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to provide a nucleic acid analyzer that sets and executes temperature regulation, said temperature regulation matching the characteristics of analyzing items and the configuration of the analyzer, by a simple operation while preventing deterioration in analytical performance caused by partial overheating of a liquid reaction mixture to thereby improve temperature change speed and shorten analysis time. To achieve the above purpose, provided is a method wherein, in the case of performing overshooting: as a first processing, the temperature is continuously elevated until reaching a target overshoot temperature; as a second processing, after reaching the aforesaid temperature, the overshoot target temperature is maintained for a preset period of time; and, as a third processing, the temperature is continuously lowered until reaching a target temperature of the liquid reaction mixture. By executing the first to third processings, regulation is conducted so that temperature measurement values are in a trapezoidal form.
