Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of quantifying a target nucleic acid containing a first sequence in a sample is provided. The method includes preparing a substrate on which a plurality of detection regions are arranged, forming a reaction field by placing, on the substrate, a reaction liquid containing a sample, a primer set, and an amplification enzyme, maintaining the reaction field in an isothermal amplification condition, detecting a detection signal for each of the detection regions, determining, for each of the plurality of detection regions, whether positive or negative and detecting or quantifying the target nucleic acid based on the number of positive and/or a rise time of each of the positive detection signal.

Abstract: An electric double-layer capacitor includes a cylindrical case having a bottom, a side surface, and an opening, a capacitor element accommodated in the case, the capacitor element, a driving electrolyte accommodated in the case, and a terminal plate provided at the opening of the case. The capacitor element includes a first electrode and a second electrode extending in a direction opposite to the first electrode. The second electrode is joined to the bottom of the case. The first and second electrodes are tilted away from the center axis of the capacitor element. In this electric double-layer capacitor, electrodes of the capacitor element are connected to the case and sealing plate reliably.

Abstract: A hair dye consisting of an anti-hair antibody immobilized on a high bulky coloring material. The coloring material may be a coloring substance such as an inorganic pigment, water-soluble coloring matter, or water-insoluble coloring matter, or a composite of the coloring substance and a macromolecular carrier. Since it provides a good and strong coloring capability specific to hair, the hair dye of the present invention will neither stain the skin nor cause skin irritation. Further, the touch and feel of the hair will be improved.
