Abstract: Disclosed are devices, programs and methods for determining a type of target peptide contained in a test sample, which relate to comparing first to third information on the target peptide obtained from the test sample with first to third information on a known peptide stored in the storage unit; and determining whether or not the target peptide is the known peptide, wherein the first information is a dissociation rate constant when the target peptide dissociates from a protein, in a solid phase carrier in which the target peptide is immobilized on a support through the protein binding to a peptide, the second information is a maximum value of a layer thickness change amount on the support, and the third information is information indicating that a dissociation mode of a peptide and the protein is either a single dissociation mode or a multiple dissociation mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid-liquid separation method including: sucking a suspension containing particles, through an opening formed at a leading end of a suction nozzle, into the suction nozzle; allowing at least a part of the particles contained in the sucked suspension, to sediment to be clogged in the suction nozzle; and ejecting a liquid inside the suction nozzle, through the opening of the suction nozzle clogged with the particles.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detection of a basic peptide by mixing a sample suspected to contain the basic peptide and a reagent containing denatured albumin and detecting turbidness due to a complex of the basic peptide and denatured albumin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of liberating a peptide, the method comprising a step of bringing a self-aggregate of albumin containing a peptide incorporated therein into contact with a solution that contains a compound represented by Formula (I) or (II) defined in the specification at a concentration of 80 mM to 1000 mM and allowing the peptide to be liberated from the self-aggregate of albumin into the solution.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of recovering a peptide including: mixing a liquid sample containing a complex of peptide and protein in blood with a reagent containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Zn2+, Ca2+, Li+, Ba2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and a metal compound that forms any of these metal ions to liberate the peptide from the protein in blood; and recovering the liberated peptide.

Abstract: A cell dispersion method, a cell dispersing agent and a cell measurement method, each of which can disperse a cell mass while reducing damage to a cell are provided. Upon dispersing a cell mass, a fluororesin particle is used. A cell mass composed of an aggregated of multiple cells is mixed with a fluororesin particle in a liquid medium, thereby separating the cell mass into individual cells to disperse the cells. In addition, the dispersed cells are measured by flow cytometry, thereby carrying out cell measurement.

Abstract: A novel method capable of liberating a peptide from a complex of peptide and albumin and the associated method of recovering the peptide are provided. When a liquid sample containing a complex of peptide and albumin undergoes heat treatment, a self-aggregate of albumin formed in the liquid sample. The peptide is simultaneously liberated from the complex and recovered by removing the self-aggregate from the liquid sample.
