  • Patent number: 11781099
    Abstract: A number analyzing method, a number analyzing device, and a storage medium for number analysis are disclosed, which enable, with high accuracy, analysis of the number or number distribution of particulate or molecular analytes according to the kinds of the analytes. A computer control program is executed on the basis of a data group of particle-passage detection signals which are detected by a nanopore device in accordance with passage of subject particles through a through-hole. Also, a particle type distribution estimating program is executed, to estimate probability density on the basis of a data group based on feature values indicating feature of the waveforms of pulse signals which correspond to the passage of particles and which are obtained as the particle-passage detection signals. Thus, the number of particles can be derived for each particle type.

  • Patent number: 11307161
    Abstract: It is an object to improve detection accuracy of an object as compared with prior arts. A flow passage (10) provided in a detection device (10) includes a substrate (1) and a covering member (2) provided at a position corresponding to the substrate (1). A covering member opening (HL2) of the covering member (2) is provided such that a substrate opening (HL1) of the substrate (1) is not covered with the covering member (2). The covering member (2) is arranged onto the substrate (1) such that a substrate capacitance and a covering member capacitance are connected in series. The covering member capacitance is lower than the substrate capacitance.
