  • Mist-generating device
    Patent number: 11964294
    Abstract: A mist-generating device includes: a droplet generating unit that generates, in a third liquid, a functional droplet including a first liquid that is spherical and a second liquid that covers an entirety of the first liquid and has a volatility lower than a volatility of the first liquid; and a mist-generating unit that generates a multilayer mist obtained by atomizing the third liquid containing the functional droplet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2024
    Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Mitsuhiko Ueda, Tatsuya Kiriyama, Hiroaki Tachibana, Shogo Shibuya

  • Nucleic acid amplification device
    Patent number: 10626360
    Abstract: A nucleic acid amplification device which includes a flow channel for feeding a reaction solution containing a target nucleic acid includes: a nucleic acid amplification reaction portion that amplifies the target nucleic acid contained in the reaction solution; and a fed-solution retention portion that retains the reaction solution. The flow channel includes a first flow channel disposed in the nucleic acid amplification reaction portion and a second flow channel disposed in the fed-solution retention portion, and the reaction solution fed from the first flow channel is retained in the second flow channel.

  • Nucleic acid amplification device, nucleic acid amplification apparatus, and nucleic acid amplification method for transporting reaction solution including target nucleic acid via capillary force to amplify target nucleic acid
    Patent number: 10173182
    Abstract: A nucleic acid amplification device includes: an introduction unit into which a reaction solution including a target nucleic acid is introduced; a nucleic acid amplification reaction section in which at least two temperature zones of different temperature are present, for amplifying the target nucleic acid included in the reaction solution introduced into the introduction unit; and a channel arranged to pass back and forth or in cyclic fashion through the at least two temperature zones, and having a capillary force transport mechanism for feeding the reaction solution by capillary force.
