Patent number: 8402846Abstract: There is provided a sample trituration vessel that even when the sample is relatively hard, enables triturating of the sample easily and with high efficiency. The sample trituration vessel includes a tubular body having an opening at one end and having a bottom part at the other end thereof. The tubular body is furnished with a rugged portion there-inside so as to be able to meet another rugged port formed on a trituration rod. The sample trituration vessel itself can exert shearing effect on the sample. The tubular body is formed of flexible material, and upon application of external force from outside of the tubular body, the tubular body is deformed, thereby breaking down the sample held within the tubular body.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2007Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Mizuho Medy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohiro Mimori, Kenji Narahara

Patent number: 6753189Abstract: A catcher, having an immunological epitope, is fixed to a detection zone of a spreading layer. A marker, capable of easy detection, has an inmmunological epitope. The marker and bispecific antibodies are soluble so that they can move on the spreading layer. The bispecific antibodies include a first bispecific antibody, having specificity for the detectable material in the fluid sample and the marker, and a second bispecific antibody, having specificity for the detectable material in the fluid sample and the catcher. Pore sizes and particle diameters are set so that the reaction product in which the marking elements and the particles are bonded are caught at a catching section. The concentration of the marking elements and the particles are increased to improve detection sensitivity. The result is an inexpensive and simple detection apparatus being highly-sensitive for the immunological detection of a detectable material, without wasting valuable antibodies.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1999Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Mizuho Medy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Narahara, Toshiyuki Uehara
