The method includes: forming openings at a top end and rear end in the barrel, respectively; forming the cap into a cylindrical shape having a fit-in portion configured to fit the portion outside the top end of the barrel, and forming in the cap a sandwiching face configured to abut with an opening edge of the top end and to sandwich the porous membrane between the barrel and the sandwiching face; crushing a peripheral edge of the porous membrane and sandwiching the porous membrane; and fixing the cap to the barrel so as not to be pulled out of the barrel by welding the opening edge and the sandwiching face by ultrasound.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a porous filter cartridge that hardly involves the contamination problem, provides an economic advantage, and is able to achieve efficient filtration and extraction without breaking. The object is accomplished by a porous filter cartridge including a bottomed cylindrical cap 5 with an outlet opening 29 at the bottom and a porous filter held inside the cap 5 on the bottom. At the bottom of the cap 5 a plurality of ribs 35, 37, and 39 are arranged radially about the outlet opening 29 in a standing condition to support the porous filter. At least some of the ribs are connected to each other at the center of the outlet opening 29 to span the outlet opening 29 to form a junction 43. The junction 43 has a top surface 41 convex to the porous filter side.

Abstract: The present invention aims to allow production of a molded item having a highly precise shape. A molding metal mold is provided having a movable metal mold (first metal mold) and a fixed metal mold (second metal mold) defining a cavity therebetween in which a molded item is produced. The movable metal mold has a first convex taper tapering toward the fixed metal mold. The fixed metal mold has a first concave taper fittable with the first convex taper. The first convex taper and the first concave taper are arranged so that, when fitted to each other, respective taper surface abut to each other first, and then a clamping force of the movable metal mold and the fixed metal mold causes an abutting between an end surface and a bottom surface which are respective parting surfaces of the movable metal mold and the fixed metal mold around the cavity. The molding metal mold is used to produce a molded item by means of injection molding, for example.

Abstract: In order to prevent a leakage of pressurized air when a force of 12 N is applied, a multiple cartridge (A) of the present invention plurally provides porous membrane cartridges (1) side by side by a link piece (5), each of which has a tubular barrel (10) having openings (11a, 11b) at a top end portion (13) and rear end portion thereof; a cap (20) that is formed like a tube having a fit-in portion (22) for fitting outside the top end portion, and abuts an opening edge (14) of the top end portion, and has a sandwich face (24) for sandwiching a porous membrane (F) between the cap and the barrel; and the porous membrane sandwiched between the opening edge of the barrel and the cap.

Abstract: A porous filter cartridge comprising: a cap being in the form of a bottomed cylinder and including an opening provided at the center of a bottom part thereof; and at least one porous filters held on the inner side of the cap, and at the bottom part, wherein the cap comprises a plurality of convex ribs provided on the bottom part side of the inner circumferential surface of the cap, and at a part on the circumference of the inner circumferential surface, the plurality of convex ribs protruding to the inside of the cap and bending the outer perimeter end of the at least one porous filters.

Abstract: A cartridge for nucleic acid separation and purification and a method for producing the cartridge are provided which does not require a special facility for adhering containers and can produce a number of cartridges at the same time.
