20100035278 | BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS CHIP, BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS KIT AND METHOD OF BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS USING THEM - The present invention provides a biological substance analysis chip capable of quantitative measurement in a minute region through immobilization of a biological substance trapping probe to a substrate surface in a more uniform density, a biological substance analysis kit that uses said chip, and a biological substance analysis method that uses the above. | 02-11-2010 |
20100092969 | CELL ISOLATION METHOD, CELL TESTING METHOD AND REAGENT KIT THEREFOR - The present invention provides a cell isolation method, a cell screening process, and a reagent kit therefor. In the present invention, the recognition substance is a polynucleotide specifically bound to a particular antigen that exists on the surface of a specific cell. This recognition substance is made to bind with a magnet of paramagnetic material. The specific cell is obtained by mixing a sample and the magnet, recovering the magnet through the use of magnetic force, applying nuclease, digesting the polynucleotide bound to the particular antigen of a specific cell, and using magnetic force to remove the magnet. According to the present invention, loss of cell functionality during the classification process can be avoided when cell identification or isolation is necessary. | 04-15-2010 |
20100105104 | CHIP FOR SAMPLING CELL COMPONENT, SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING CELL COMPONENT AND METHOD OF ANALYZING CELL COMPONENT USING THE SAME - The present invention provides a method, a chip device, and a system for quantitatively measuring intercellularly and intracellularly-localized mRNA and protein without loss of local space information. In the present invention, cell content is trapped atop a substrate or an electrode in the form of a two-dimensional projection of a cell. Accordingly, electrophoretic force is used, or the cellular moisture content is instantaneously evaporated and immobilized. mRNA immobilized to a two-dimensional surface is identified with a labeled probe which hybridizes to the mRNA. | 04-29-2010 |
20100173351 | CARDIAC REENTRY MODEL CHIP AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING DRUG USING THE CARDIAC REENTRY MODEL CHIP - A chip has been developed that can accurately measure cell potential and cell morphology on a single cell basis. The chip also constitutes a cardiac model that comprises a closed loop whereupon cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts are suitably dispersed and arranged, and that can evaluate the effects of a drug thereon. An in vitro cardiac reentry model chip is fabricated by constructing a closed loop comprising cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts arrayed on transparent electrodes formed on a transparent substrate by using a constitution where single cells are enclosed in a specific spatial configuration. A pulse wave of a random cardiomyocyte or a specific cardiomyocyte is propagated on both sides of the loop, and the pulsation status of the cells in the loop is detected electrically. A drug is applied to this cardiac reentry model chip, and the benefit or toxicity of the drug to cardiomyocytes is evaluated by measuring the cell potentials of individual cells. | 07-08-2010 |
20100178692 | MODEL CELL CHIP, APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING DRUG EFFECT USING THE MODEL CELL CHIP AND METHOD OF EVALUATING DRUG EFFECT - The present invention provides an apparatus for evaluating a drug effect enabling on-chip evaluation of the effect of a drug while the drug is acting on hERG-expressing cells. The present invention also provides a myocardial toxicity test apparatus and method therefor enabling in vitro myocardial toxicity testing that has previously been performed in vivo. | 07-15-2010 |
