Abstract: A thermosensitive probe includes: a non-metallic thermoconductive member defining a housing space; a thermosensitive element disposed in the housing space; and a coupling member having a portion surrounding the thermosensitive element in the housing space while fixing the thermosensitive element to the thermoconductive member.

Abstract: A sunlight restricting member is disposed between a light emitting element and a lens. The sunlight restricting member is configured (i) to allow direct light from the light emitting element to be incident on the lens and (ii) to restrict sunlight from reaching, through the lens, at least one of the light emitting element and a light source support member.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a reagent for protein analysis that has still greater 1) rapidity and 2) high operability, that can be detected with 3) high sensitivity, and that can be detected using 4) a gel imager that carries out excitation with visible light or a detecting device having a highly versatile UV light source (UV transilluminator), and a method for protein analysis. The present invention relates to a composition for analysis of a protein, the composition containing a compound represented by Formula I or a salt thereof; when the composition is applied to a support containing a separated protein, staining and fixation of the protein being carried out thereby, and no destaining of the support after application being required.

Abstract: A method is provided that is suitable for various test samples and that prepares nucleic acid templates directly usable for gene amplification reaction such as PCR method or RT-PCR method conveniently and promptly, preferably under a mild condition. A nucleic acid extraction method is provided comprising a process of contacting a nucleic acid extraction reagent with a test sample, wherein the nucleic acid extraction reagent comprises zwitterionic buffer solution. Preferably, the nucleic acid extraction reagent comprises a surfactant and a proteolytic enzyme.
