Abstract: A testing method using a micro flow path device configured for a test liquid containing a specimen to be brought into contact with a drug therein and for a test on an action of the drug on the specimen includes: preparing the micro flow path device including: a plurality of micro flow paths, first and second openings which are disposed at both ends of each of the plurality of micro flow paths and communicate with an outside, a storage unit which is provided in each of the plurality of micro flow paths and stores the drug, and a gas-permeable membrane covering the first opening; applying a fluid pressure higher than an external pressure to the test liquid through the second opening from a syringe pump connected to the second opening to pressure-feed the test liquid to the storage unit; and observing a target region set in the micro flow path.

Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to a resistive metal oxide gas sensor. The sensor notably comprises a support structure and a patch of sensing material arranged on the support structure or partly housed therein. The patch comprises a metal oxide material. Electrodes are in electrical communication with the patch. The sensor further comprises a heater, in thermal communication with the patch, and a selective gas-permeable filter. The selective gas-permeable filter comprises a fluoropolymer. A first part of an external surface of the patch covers a part of the support structure, while a remaining part of said external surface is coated by the selective gas-permeable filter, so as to form a coated patch of sensing material. The present invention is further directed to related devices and methods of operation.
