Patent number: 7223326Abstract: A capillary electrophoresis system includes a plurality of capillaries arranged in parallel on a vertical plane at an identical distance from each other, each of which has a sample injection end immersed in a cathode buffer 23 and pointed downward vertically to facilitate connection between the cathode buffer 23 and a sample solution. The sample elution end is connected via a pump block 11 and a connection tube 3 to an anode buffer 24. The height is made identical between the liquid levels for buffers 23 and 24 to prevent movement of the separation medium in the capillaries. The sample introduced from the sample injection end 20 moves upward vertically via electrophoresis to the sample elution end in the capillary and is passed through and detected at the fluorescence detection position 19. The effective separation length is thus decreased to 10 cm or less to attain high throughput.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Anazawa, Takashi Irie, Masao Kamahori

Publication number: 20070076942Abstract: The present invention provides a system capable of automatically making a diagnosis of a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus, based on a result of particle detection on a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer. In one preferred embodiment, the surface of the wafer is divided into square-shaped minute areas of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, and existence of particles in each minute area is inspected. Based on the inspection result, data, in which existence of particles in each minute area is correlated with the address thereof, is created. The surface of the wafer is divided into several tens to several hundreds of evaluation areas. A binarized data is assigned to each evaluation area, and is determined based on the fact that the number of the minute areas in which particles are detected included in the evaluation area is larger, or not larger than a predetermined reference value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2004Publication date: April 5, 2007Inventors: Yasuo Yatsugake, Hitoshi Kato, Moyuru Yasuhara, Takashi Irie
