  • Patent number: 6379910
    Abstract: One end of a thin-tube type solid phase in which a receptor specific for a material or an organism to be measured which can induce a pH-change of substrate solution is immobilized is soaked in a sample solution and then taken out therefrom. The one end of the thin-tube type solid phase is disposed in a measurement cell and a sensing portion of a pH electrode disposed in the measurement cell is in the vicinity of the one end of the thin-tube type solid phase. The measurement cell and the thin-tube type solid phase are filled with a substrate solution so that a reaction takes place. Thereafter, the substrate solution in the thin-tube type solid phase is moved to the sensing portion by a solution feed pump. The output of the pH electrode at this timing is detected.

  • Patent number: 5957840
    Abstract: A pinch device for detecting a biomedical signal which pinches a measuring site of a living body in order to detect a biomedical signal, includes a pair of body members which are opposed to each other, said body members being rotatably coupled to each other via a shaft portion, a movable member mounted to a tip end of one of said paired body members so as to be rotatable, and said movable member having a contact face opposed to another contact face which is formed at a tip end of another one of said paired body members, and a spring member urging said contact face of said movable member and said other contact face of said body member which is opposed to said movable member, in an approaching direction.
