Abstract:
A reaction processing apparatus includes: a reaction processing vessel; a first fluorescence detection device that irradiates a sample with first excitation light and detects first fluorescence produced from the sample; and a second fluorescence detection device that irradiates a sample with second excitation light and detects second fluorescence produced from the sample. The wavelength range of the first fluorescence and the wavelength range of the second excitation light overlap at least partially. The first excitation light and the second excitation light flash at a predetermined duty ratio d. The phase difference between the flashing of the first excitation light and the flashing of the second excitation light is set within a range of 2π(pm−Δpm) (rad) to 2π(pm+Δpm) (rad) or within a range of 2π[(1−pm)−Δpm] (rad) to 2π[(1−pm)+Δpm] (rad), where pm=d−d2 and Δpm=0.01*pm.

Abstract:
A reaction processing vessel includes: a substrate; a channel for a sample to move that is formed on the substrate; a first air communication port and a second air communication port provided at respective ends of the channel; and a thermal cycle region for applying a thermal cycle to the sample that is formed between the first air communication port and the second air communication port in the channel. The channel includes a first branch channel and a second branch channel between the thermal cycle region and the first air communication port.
Abstract:
A reaction processor includes: a reaction processing vessel including a channel in which a sample moves and a pair of air communication ports, a first air communication port and a second air communication port, provided at respective ends of the channel; a temperature control system that provides a medium temperature region and a high temperature region between the first air communication port and the second air communication port in the channel; and a liquid feeding system that discharges and sucks air in order to move and stop the sample inside the channel. One of the pair of air communication ports of the reaction processing vessel that is farther away from the high temperature region communicates with the liquid feeding system via a tube. One of the pair of air communication ports of the reaction processing vessel that is closer to the high temperature region is opened to atmospheric pressure.
Abstract:
A reaction processor is provided with a reaction processing vessel having a channel, a liquid feeding system, a temperature control system, and a fluorescence detector, and a CPU for controlling the liquid feeding system. When a sample moves from a low temperature region to a high temperature region, the CPU instructs the liquid feeding system to stop the sample when a predetermined first waiting time has passed from the time when the passage of the sample through a fluorescence detection region is detected by the fluorescence detector. When the sample moves from the high temperature region to the low temperature region, the CPU instructs the liquid feeding system to stop the sample when a predetermined second waiting time, which is set independently of the first waiting time, has passed from the time when the passage of the sample through the fluorescence detection region is detected by the fluorescence detector.
Abstract:
A reaction processing vessel includes: a substrate made of resin; and a groove-like channel provided on a main surface of the substrate. The channel includes a bottom surface and a side surface. In a reaction channel for causing a sample to develop a predetermined reaction, the bottom surface and the side surface are connected by a curved surface.
