Abstract: An information processing device includes: an operation receiver capable of receiving a plurality of gesture operations; and a controller including a microprocessor and configured to perform a control for reflecting a gesture operation on a screen on a basis of an output from the operation receiver. The controller sets a threshold value of a determination index for determining whether the gesture operation is valid for each of the gesture operations, provides a measured value of the determination index of a gesture operation received by the operation receiver and compares the measured value with the threshold value to determine whether the gesture operation is valid, reflects the valid gesture operation on the screen, and variably sets a threshold value corresponding to a gesture operation other than the valid gesture operation in accordance with an execution state of the gesture operation received by the operation receiver.

Abstract: When a sample of biological origin in an aqueous solution is used as the measurement medium in analysis using an electrochemical process, and a voltage of +1.2 V or greater (with saturated silver-silver chloride electrode potential as a reference) is applied, there are instances in which bubbles are observed to be produced within the flow cell, due to an electrolysis reaction deriving from the measurement buffer. There is a possibility that bubbles produced on the electrode will cover the electrode surface, reducing the effective surface area of the electrode. Also, the distribution of magnetic particles captured on the electrode will be disturbed by the gas produced thereby, lowering the reproducibility of the results of the analysis. Deaeration of the measurement medium prior to introduction of the measurement medium into the detector minimizes the effects of bubble production in degrading the analytical capability makes it possible to carry out highly sensitive electrochemical analysis.
