  • Publication number: 20190099758
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new smaller analysis device that can heat an analysis chip. The analysis device includes a set section in which an analysis chip is to be set; a housing chamber that accommodates the set section; a heating section that heats the analysis chip set in the set section; and an analysis section that analyzes the analysis chip set in the set section, wherein the housing chamber serves as an analysis chamber of the analysis chip set in the set section in the state where the set section is accommodated in the housing chamber, the analysis section is disposed at a position where the analysis chip set in the set section is analyzed in the state where the set section is accommodated in the housing chamber, and the heating section is a heating plate and is disposed at a position where the analysis chip set in the set section is heated in the state where the set section is accommodated in the housing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20180371518
    Abstract: The present invention provides a miniaturizable tool that can analyze a target in a sample by a simple operation and an analysis method using the tool. An analysis chip is a syringe-type chip including: a syringe main body having an openable and closable tip; and a piston to be inserted into the syringe main body, the piston being a hollow body having a translucent closed-end at a side to be inserted into the syringe main body and an open-end at the other side.

  • Publication number: 20180237834
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for accurately analyzing a template nucleic acid. The method is a method for analyzing a template nucleic acid including: an amplification step of amplifying a target sequence in the template nucleic acid and a complementary sequence to the target sequence; and a detection step of detecting association between a probe and an amplification product obtained in the amplification step or dissociation of an assembly between the probe and the amplification product with a temperature change. A primer set is used in the amplification step, and the primer set is a combination of a first primer for a polymerase that performs priming at the 3? end of a primer to synthesize the target sequence and a second primer for the polymerase to synthesize the complementary strand.

  • Publication number: 20170197216
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tool that can analyze a target in a sample by a simple operation and can be downsized and an analysis method using the tool. By inserting an analysis chip into an analysis device, a reaction of a sample and a reagent is analyzed. The analysis chip includes a parallel flow channel in which plural reaction flow channels are connected in parallel, and the axial direction of the parallel flow channel is a direction of inserting the analysis chip into the analysis device.
