Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide immunoassay microchips in which microstructures of beads having a sufficient reaction area were constructed within microchannels while suppressing flow path resistance, and to provide simple and highly-sensitive immunoassay methods for microsamples. The objective was achieved by immunoassay microchips comprising microchannels with microstructures arranged in at least a portion of the microchannels, the microstructures retaining microbeads uniformly dispersed in photo-cured hydrophilic resins, and the microbeads having a primary antibody immobilized on their surfaces, and by immunoassay methods using the microchips.

Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition for photoresist which is highly sensitive and can directly form an image using a laser is disclosed. Said composition comprises (A) an unsaturated resin having carboxyl group(s) which is obtained by firstly reacting 0.8 to 1.3 moles of an ethylenic unsaturated monocarboxylic acid with 1 mole of an epoxy group of a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylenic unsaturated monomer having an epoxy group to obtain an unsaturated resin which is then reacted with a dibasic acid anhydride, (B) ethylenic unsaturated compound without epoxy group, and (C) photopolymerization initiator.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal composition sealed between the substrates. The liquid crystal composition has a twist angle set within a range of 180-300 degrees and a retardation set within a range of 0.45-0.7 .mu.m wherein when an electric field is applied, the liquid crystal display is in a dark state, while when the electrid field is not applied, the liquid crystal display is in a bright state. A dichromatic coloring matter is contained in the liquid crystal composition, and it has a hue complementary to that of an image color of the liquid-crystal display in the bright state.
