Abstract: A cell culture plate has a plurality of flow channels, uneven pattern areas and through holes. The flow channels are formed between the uneven pattern areas, and culture solution flows from the flow channels into the uneven pattern areas or from the uneven pattern areas into the flow channels. The uneven pattern area has uneven patterns that create a cell culture space.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting modified LDL, abnormal cells or bacteria using an intermolecular interaction analysis method, in which a region involved in ligand recognition by a receptor is expressed, without modification or as a biotinylated protein, in cells or in a test tube, and thereafter, the expressed region or the expressed biotinylated protein is immobilized via avidin or streptavidin to a solid phase while the orientation thereof is maintained, and the immobilized protein is utilized; and a kit for detecting the modified LDL or the like.

Abstract: It is intended to provide an extract, kit and a process for synthesizing a protein in a cell-free system. The extract is characterized by being prepared from mutant Escherichia coli cells having a mutation in the ribosomal protein S12 gene. In a preferred embodiment, the mutation is such a mutation as conferring a resistance or dependence to streptomycin on E. coli whereby the reading efficiency of mRNA codon on ribosomes can be improved and thus the protein productivity can be elevated.

Abstract: Data collected by a transcranial brain function measuring/stimulating method is accurately projected and displayed onto a brain surface. If there is no three-dimensional head image, data is projected and displayed onto the brain surface of a standard brain. The head surface coordinates are transformed to the brain surface coordinates of the brain surface underlying the head surface by, e.g., a minimum distance search method. The coordinates of a projected point on the brain surface of the head surface and the probability distribution are determined for a standard brain normalized with data on subjects.

Abstract: The present invention relate to a method of detecting a genetic recombinant by using the PCR method. A method of quantitatively detecting method is provided whereby the total content ratio of the genetic recombinants and the individual content ratio of the genetic recombinant in a population containing plural genetic recombinant lines can be quantified. The method of the present invention comprises performing PCR for the DNA sequence specific to the recombinant and the endogenous DNA sequence shared by the species corresponding to the recombinant using, as a standard molecule, a molecule containing the DNA sequence specific to the recombinant and the endogenous DNA sequence shared by the species on the single molecule, and determining the content ratio of the number of molecules thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for increasing the productivity of the secondary metabolite in a micro-organism, for example, the improvement of antibiotic producers by conferring drug-resistant mutations to micro-organisms.

Abstract: A resin microchannel array includes a first substrate having a plurality of depressions, each depression having an inlet port at one end and an outlet port at another end, and walls sectioning the depressions, each wall having a micro groove connecting the depressions, and a second substrate having a flat surface bonded or pressure-contacted to a surface of the first substrate. Spaces created by the depressions and the grooves in a bonded or pressure contacted part between the first substrate and the second substrate serve as flow channels. Each of a width and a depth of the flow channel is within a range of 1 to 50 ?m, and a ratio of the width and the depth of the flow channel is within a range of 1:10 to 10:1.

Abstract: Provided is a DNA-level grain variety discrimination method of detecting the presence or absence of any other varieties of grains in object grains of a certain variety through multiplex PCR that uses the DNAs extracted from the grains or from their processed products as templates. The method is characterized in that the multiplex PCR uses pair primer groups that are for discriminative detection of negative bands not appearing in the band pattern of the object variety but selectively appearing only in the band patterns of the other mixed varieties. The method has made it possible to rapidly and simply detect the presence or absence of mixed varieties in high-quality grains such as “Koshihikari”, and to identify the mixed varieties.

Abstract: The resin microchannel substrate has a surface where a recess leading to a fluid supply port and a bank adjacent to the recess and having many micro grooves on a surface are formed. The grooves form microchannels connecting the inside of the recess and the outside of the recess when the surface of the substrate is firmly attached to a flat plate serving as a cover. The width and height of the microchannel are within a range of 1 to 300 ?m, and the width/height ratio of the channel is within a range of 1:20 to 20:1.
