| 20090239033 | DIAPHRAGM AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING CELLULAR POTENTIAL USING THE SAME, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE DIAPHRAGM - A diaphragm is formed by etching a substrate. This substrate has a first surface provided with a depression by isotropic dry etching, and a second surface opposite the first surface. Furthermore, a through-hole is formed from the depression to the second surface by anisotropic dry etching. The depression and the through-hole are formed by using one resist mask. The depression has a hemispherical shape or a semi-elliptical spherical shape. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100126922 | COMPONENT SEPARATION DEVICE - A component separating device includes a flow channel, an acoustic wave generator for generating an acoustic wave in the flow channel, a first inlet channel for introducing a fist solution containing solid particles into the flow channel, a second inlet channel for introducing a second solution, and outlet channels for discharging a solution from the flow channel. A density grade generator is provided at the first inlet channel for forming a density grade of the solid particles. This component separating device extracts the solid particles into a high-purity solution at a high collecting rate. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20110111984 | SEQUENCER - A sequencer that measures a nucleic acid sequence in a nucleic acid strand includes: a base material having a surface made of silicon; and a fibrous protrusion that is made of silicon dioxide and is directly joined to the surface of the base material made of silicon, wherein a plurality of the nucleic acid strands are fixed onto the fibrous protrusion. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110120864 | CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY SENSOR CHIP AND CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY SENSOR USING THE CHIP, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY SENSOR CHIP - A cellular electrophysiology sensor is adapted to measure an electrical change of a test cell. A chip for the sensor includes a diaphragm, and a thermally-oxidized film mainly containing silicon dioxide on the diaphragm. The diaphragm includes a silicon layer and a silicon dioxide layer on an upper surface of the silicon layer. A through-hole passing through the silicon layer and the silicon dioxide layer is formed. The through-hole has an opening which opens at the silicon dioxide layer and is adapted to capture the test cell. The thermally-oxidized film is provided on an inner wall surface of the through-hole, and unified with the silicon dioxide layer at the opening of the through-hole. This cellular electrophysiology sensor chip can stably capture the test cell and provides a gigaseal stably even if test cells have different properties, | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110126590 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CELL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING THE CELL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR - A process including holding sensor chip; holding glass tube surrounding the outer periphery of the side surface of sensor chip; applying a wind pressure to the side surface of glass tube from the outside of glass tube and melting glass tube to be glass-welded to the side surface of sensor chip. Thereby, the outer periphery of sensor chip can be surrounded by a highly hydrophilic glass tube. Thus, a cell electrophysiological sensor with high measurement accuracy can be produced. | 06-02-2011 |
