Abstract: A carrier for fixing a material containing an amino group, which has a shape to be wound on a spindle member, and on the surface of which the material can be immobilized via covalent bonding. The carrier has a shape to be wound on a spindle member, and has a carboxyl group or an amino group, or derivative groups thereof, formed by cleaving an amide bond in the main chain of a polyamide on its surface.

Abstract: With the object of providing an analysis method and analysis apparatus of liquid sample capable of forming a temperature environment in which all reactants can react with their respective specific target substances when a liquid sample is analyzed using a solid support on the surface of which are fixed multiple reactants each of which reacts with a specific target substance at a different reaction temperature, and capable of automating the series of operations from reaction to detection, in the liquid sample analysis method and analyzer of the present invention a liquid sample is analyzed by (a) a step of heating the liquid sample outside a reaction chamber to a temperature higher than any of the reaction temperatures of the reactants, (b) a step of introducing the liquid sample from outside the reaction chamber into the reaction chamber, (c) a step of discharging the liquid sample inside the reaction chamber from the reaction chamber, (d) a step of cooling the liquid sample inside the reaction chamber and/or

Abstract: A monitoring function-equipped dispensing system and a method of monitoring the dispensing system wherein conditions in a pipeline can be identified accurately and precisely by not only optically measuring conditions in the pipeline, but performing other measurements reinforcing the former.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for introducing a biological material, a method of introducing a biological material, and a magnetic support for introducing a biological material with the object of providing an apparatus for introducing a biological material, a method of introducing a biological material, and a magnetic support for introducing a biological material whereby a biological material can be efficiently introduced into a host. The invention comprises: one or more packing units in which a mixture solution containing a large number of magnetic supports carrying a biological material to be introduced into a host such as cells upon using, together with a large number of the hosts in a liquid is pooled; and an introduction treatment unit in which a magnetic force affecting the inside of the packing unit is controlled so as to move the magnetic supports relatively with respect to the host so that the biological material can be introduced into the host.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a particle complex that is dispersible in a liquid sample containing a target substance, and that comprises a first particle on which a reactive substance capable of reacting with a target substance is immobilized and a second particle labeled with a labeling substance, and wherein it is effectively prevented that the second particle will become a steric hindrance and decrease the efficiency of the reaction between the reactive substance and the target substance, and to achieve the object, the present invention provides a particle complex wherein a first particle on which a reactive substance capable of reacting with a target substance is immobilized and a second particle labeled with a labeling substance are immobilized on the surface of a solid support that is dispersible in a liquid sample containing the target substance.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a reaction vessel comprising a three-dimensional particle array, with which reaction efficiency is increased by raising the probability of encounter between the target substance in the liquid sample and the reactive substance immobilized on the particle surface, and a reaction apparatus in which said reaction vessel is utilized. The reaction vessel provided by the present invention comprises a reaction vessel main body having a reaction chamber capable of accommodating a liquid sample, a solid support placed in the reaction chamber, and a plurality of particles on which a specific reactive substance is immobilized, wherein the particles are arranged in three dimensions inside the reaction chamber while immobilized on the surface of the solid support.

Abstract: An apparatus for refolding proteins and a method of using an apparatus for refolding proteins is provided in which a refolding process for proteins can be carried out for various proteins, efficiently and accurately, and without manual intervention.
