20080227217 | SAMPLE-LIQUID ANALYSIS DISC AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING SAMPLE MIXTURE LIQUID - A reaction of a sample mixture liquid is detected accurately, by allowing a solid reagent to be dissolved and reacted in a liquid sample quickly and accurately. A disc main body, and at least one sample mixing unit provided at the disc main body are provided, and the sample mixing unit is provided with: a liquid sample reserve unit; a reagent chamber capable of disposing a plurality of the solid reagents; and a measurement chamber to which a sample mixture liquid containing a liquid sample and a solid reagent mixed in the reagent chamber is supplied. The reagent chamber has a form which allows a plurality of the solid reagents to be disposed in the direction substantially parallel to the radial direction of the disc in which centrifugal force is generated, or in the direction substantially perpendicular to the radial direction of the disc. | 09-18-2008 |

20090238724 | DISC FOR ANALYZING SAMPLE - It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc for analyzing a fluid sample, which can analyze the fluid sample with accuracy by having the fluid sample react quickly and uniformly with the solid reagent held in the chamber. The disc has a chamber is defined by a gap formed with at least two opening, and defined by a spacer intervening between an upper substrate and a lower substrate, the upper substrate having a convex section, the lower substrate having a concave section, the reagent being attached to the concave section of the lower substrate. | 09-24-2009 |
20100062414 | SAMPLE LIQUID ANALYTICAL CHIP - A sample liquid analytical chip that whilst being of simple structure, has a reaction region and a detection region isolated from each other and further has liquid feed control means for a sample liquid, thereby realizing speedy reliable analysis. The sample liquid analytical chip comprises a tubular sample liquid transfer channel with its both ends open, a reaction reagent layer disposed on the internal wall surface of the sample liquid transfer channel and a detection region for detecting any physical or chemical change of the sample liquid. In the sample liquid analytical chip, the sample liquid transfer channel at an area of its wall surface is provided an opening and a lid fitted to the opening. Portion of the lid forms a hinge in cooperation with the wall surface. | 03-11-2010 |
20100120166 | SUBSTRATE HAVING CHANNEL PORTION INCLUDING CHAMBERS, AND METHOD OF TRANSFERRING LIQUID BY USING THE SUBSTRATE - A substrate having a channel portion in which a liquid transfers, wherein, even if the channel portion has no micro-channel interconnecting chambers, a liquid can transfer stepwise from one region to the next region according to the speed of rotation of the substrate. The substrate can be rotated about a rotation axis as the center, and has the channel portion including the chambers formed therein. The inner wall of each chamber has a first area including an area intersecting with a centrifugal direction from the center; and also has a second area placed at a position farther from the center than the first area, and including a surface intersecting with the centrifugal direction from the center. Further, the first area has a region for holding a droplet of a liquid provided; and also has a region where a contact with the droplet expands when the substrate is rotated, and that communicate with the second area. | 05-13-2010 |
20100132820 | SUBSTRATE INCLUDING CHANNEL PART HAVING CHAMBER, AND MULTISTAGE LIQUID FEED DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME - A substrate including a channel part having a chamber in which a liquid can be fed stepwise from a chamber to another chamber at the channel part formed in the substrate, depending on the rotational speed of the substrate. A first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber, and a channel interconnecting them are formed at the channel part formed in the substrate. Furthermore, the width and/or the depth of the first chamber is set smaller than the width and/or the depth of the second chamber. Consequently, the volume of solution subjected to centrifugal force in the first chamber is larger than the volume of solution subjected to centrifugal force in the second chamber. | 06-03-2010 |
20100213081 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PRESENCE OR DETERMINING BIOLOGICALLY SPECIFICALLY REACTIVE SUBSTANCE - This invention provides an apparatus for determining a biologically specifically reactive substance using the acceleration of a biologically specific reaction by pearl chaining of carrier particles. The apparatus can suppress the generation of heat caused by the pearl chaining to suppress the vaporization of a sample solution. The apparatus comprises a substrate comprising a pair of electrodes and a reaction field disposed between the pair of electrodes, voltage applying means for applying an alternating voltage to the pair of electrodes, and carrier particles which are disposed in the reaction field and undergo pearl chaining upon exposure of an alternating electric field applied to the reaction field by the alternating voltage. The apparatus is characterized in that the voltage applying means applies two or more alternating voltages different from each other in amplitude. | 08-26-2010 |
20100266452 | MEASURING CHIP - Provided is a measuring chip, which can spot a specimen liquid of a minute quantity for an immune agglutination easily and precisely to the measuring chip and which can prevent the flow of the specimen liquid and the contamination of the specimen. The measuring chip comprises at least two substrates, a spacer arranged between the substrates, at least one passage made of the substrates and the spacer into a hollow shape and having two open ends, counter electrodes for applying an electric field, and a specimen-spotted portion to be spotted with the specimen. The specimen-spotted portion has a structure made of a square, circular, elliptical or sector shape by that spacer. Moreover, the specimen-spotted portion has two open ends, one of which is connected to one open end of that passage. | 10-21-2010 |
