Abstract: During filling of a capillary with an electrophoresis medium, this electrophoresis medium receptacle maintains a resting state, and the capillary and the electrophoresis medium receptacle are readily sealed. The electrophoresis medium receptacle is simple in shape, the electrophoresis medium receptacle is readily manufactured, and the electrophoresis medium is readily sealed. The amount of the electrophoresis medium sealed in the electrophoresis medium receptacle is brought into approximation without limit to the amount of the electrophoresis medium filling the capillary, minimizing dead volume. In this electrophoresis medium receptacle, a receptacle filled with an electrophoresis medium is maintained in a sealed state, and a septum which can be pierced by a capillary cathode end is provided. The pressure produced when the capillary cathode end pierces the septum in which the receptacle filled with the electrophoresis medium is sealed transports the electrophoresis medium into the interior of a capillary.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention has to do with being able to eliminate, using a small amount of an electrophoresis medium, air bubbles that get mixed in when loading an electrophoresis-medium container into a capillary electrophoresis device. This invention has to do with being able to simplify a positive-electrode-side channel in a capillary electrophoresis device by electrophoresing using only an electrophoresis medium on the positive-electrode side. This invention makes it possible to eliminate, easily and using a small amount of an electrophoresis medium, air bubbles that had become mixed in each time an electrophoresis-medium container was connected to the device. This invention also makes it easier to manage consumables and reduces the number thereof, making pre-electrophoresis preparation simple, and makes it possible to simplify and reduce the size of the device.

Abstract: There is provided a high-sensitivity organic semiconductor radiation/light sensor and a radiation/light detector which can detect rays in real time. In the high-sensitivity organic semiconductor radiation/light sensor, a signal amplification wire 2 is embedded in an organic semiconductor 1. Carriers created by passage of radiation or light are avalanche-amplified by a high electric field generated near the signal amplification wire 2 by means of applying a high voltage to the signal amplification wire 2, thus dramatically improving detection efficiency of rays. Hence, even rays exhibiting low energy loss capability can be detected in real time with high sensitivity.
