  • Patent number: 9128056
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sample holding carrier that can accurately measure a sample with a simple configuration, and a fluorescence detection system and device that use the same. Biosensor substrate includes: base substrate on which excitation light is incident from a lower surface; reflecting film that is arranged on an upper surface of base substrate to partially reflect the excitation light; and plural wells that are arranged on an upper surface side of reflecting film and have bottom surface portions. The excitation light is converged to be incident on base substrate. Distance from reflecting surface that is of a boundary between reflecting film and base substrate to bottom surface portion of well is less than or equal to a focal depth of the excitation light. Therefore, the sample accommodated in bottom surface portion of well can surely and efficiently be irradiated with the excitation light, and accurately be measured.

  • Publication number: 20140353485
    Abstract: A measurement plate 10 for MALDI mass spectrometry consists of a base plate 11 having an upper surface and a carbon sheet 12 laid on at least a portion of the upper surface. The carbon sheet 12 is a highly-oriented graphite sheet with the orientation direction being parallel to the upper surface. The highly-oriented graphite sheet has a high thermal conductivity in the in-plane direction and a low thermal conductivity in the perpendicular direction. Therefore, the thermal energy generated in a matrix substance by laser irradiation is quickly transferred through the highly-oriented graphite sheet in the in-plane direction. As a result, the thermal energy is uniformly distributed within the laser-irradiated area, so that the reaction of sublimation and ionization of the target sample assisted by the matrix substance uniformly takes place. Thus, a decrease in the detection sensitivity is prevented.

  • Patent number: 6985364
    Abstract: A voltage converter module is formed by multi-layering a first connecting layer, a first inner wiring layer, a component built-in layer, a second inner wiring layer, a second connecting layer, and a capacitor-mounted layer, and a capacitor built-in layer with resin composite. A connecting terminal formed on a terminal surface of the first connecting layer, the first inner wiring layer, the second inner wiring layer and the capacitor-mounted layer are electrically coupled to each other through via-hole conductors. The second inner wiring layer couples a voltage converter IC to peripheral components, both being incorporated in the component built-in layer. A first capacitor and a second capacitor incorporated in the capacitor built-in layer are mounted to the capacitor-mounted layer. This structure forms a circuit, in which the first capacitor is coupled to the second capacitor, between the voltage converter IC and the grounding.
