Abstract: A sample scraping method and a sample scraping device capable of efficiently scraping and collecting a biological tissue section without waste while suppressing contamination is provided. In a sample scraping method for scraping and collecting a biological tissue section held on a slide, the FFPE section held on the slide is heated, and the heated FFPE section is scraped by a blade such that the FFPE section that has been scraped off and remains on the blade is collected in a container.

Abstract: Provided is a double-faced PSA sheet having excellent detergent resistance. The PSA sheet according to this invention comprises a PSA layer and is adhesive on both faces. The PSA sheet shows a push-peel strength of 30 N/cm2 or greater after a detergent immersion test involving immersion in a standard detergent at 40° C. for 24 hours. It also has an adhesive strength retention rate of 50% or higher, determined as the ratio of push-peel strength P2 after the detergent immersion test to push-peel strength P1 before the detergent immersion test.

Abstract: A cell processing apparatus includes a storage container that contains liquid L including a biological sample; a filter that prevents a first cell C1 in the biological sample from passing and allows a second cell C2 having a smaller diameter than that of the first cell C1 to pass; and a filtration cylinder for separating, in the storage container and via the filter, the liquid L into a first liquid L1 mainly including the first cell C1 and a second liquid L2 mainly including the second cell C2. A measurement target cell filtered by the filter among other cells can be easily collected.

Abstract: A method of activating an antigen is herein described. The method comprises providing an antigen activation solution and contacting the cell with the solution to activate the antigen. A method of detecting a cell fixed by a nonbridging fixation solution is also described. The method comprises providing an antigen activation solution, contacting the cell with the solution, immunostaining the cell, and detecting the stained cell. The solution used for these methods comprises an agent for breaking a hydrogen bond, and is also described herein.
