Abstract: A work management system includes a calibration instruction recorder and a work instruction recorder, wherein the calibration instruction recorder receives and stores a calibration work record of the calibration work from a first terminal, stores the calibration work record, stores device identification information included in the calibration work record as the device identification information, and stores “usable” or “not usable” as use propriety of the device, depending on whether the calibration determination result included in the calibration work record is “appropriate” or “inappropriate”. The work instruction recorder receives a work request from a second terminal and transmits the work contents to the second terminal when the use propriety of the device is “usable” and transmits an error notification to the second terminal when the use propriety of the device is “not usable”. The device is used for the work performed by the worker as a user of the second terminal.

Abstract: A bond substrate is attached with an incline toward the setting surface of a base substrate. Accordingly, an attachment starting portion can be limited. Further, the bond substrate is provided so that part of the bond substrate extends beyond a support base and the part is closest to the base substrate. Because of this, part of the bond substrate is separated from the support base with the use of an end portion of the support base as a fulcrum point because the support base is not provided below the contact portion, and attachment sequentially proceeds from a portion which gets close to the base substrate; thus, stable attachment can be performed without an air layer remaining at the interface between the bond substrate and the base substrate.

Abstract: A plasma treatment apparatus includes a treatment chamber covered with a chamber wall, where an upper electrode faces a lower electrode; and a line chamber separated from the treatment chamber by the upper electrode and an insulator, covered with the chamber wall, and connected to a first gas diffusion chamber between a dispersion plate and a shower plate. The first gas diffusion chamber is connected to a second gas diffusion chamber between the dispersion plate and the upper electrode. The second gas diffusion chamber is connected to a first gas pipe in the upper electrode. The upper electrode and the chamber wall are provided on the same axis. The dispersion plate includes a center portion with no gas hole and a peripheral portion with plural gas holes. The center portion faces a gas introduction port of the first gas pipe, connected to an electrode plane of the upper electrode.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of reusing a DNA-immobilization substrate whereby the expensive DNA-immobilization substrate can be efficiently utilized and a reusable DNA-immobilization substrate having the same performance as a new product without any trouble in practical use can be provided. Namely, a method of reusing a DNA-immobilization substrate characterized in that, to remove DNA from a DNA-immobilization substrate carrying the DNA immobilized by an acid-amide bond via an oligonucleotide to thereby enable the immobilization of a fresh DNA, the acid-amide bond between the substrate and the DNA is hydrolyzed with an acid or an alkali.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for constructing a cDNA library by hybridizing mRNA with oligo (dT) on a support and treating with a reverse transcriptase to immobilized complementary DNA, or for constructing a gDNA library by ligating a double-stranded chromosomal DNA library with an oligonucleotide on a support having a restriction enzyme site and then immobilizing the gDNA library.

Abstract: Substrates for producing a DNA library are produced by immobilizing DNA onto a suitable substrate having excellent thermal conductivity. A surface of the substrate is chemically modified with a radical having a terminal polar radical. DNA can be amplified by the PCR method in a short period of time using substrates of the present invention onto which DNA is immobilized.

Abstract: A support for fixing a nucleotide that contributes to the efficient clarification of DNA without damaging the terminal parts of the DNA and, therefore, is useful in the fields of biology, biochemistry and the like. This support for fixing a nucleotide is a chemically modified substrate on which oligonucleotide are immobilized characterized in that the oligonucleotide have a restriction enzyme cleavage site. This support is produced by chemically modifying the substrate, immobilizing a single-stranded oligonucleotide thereon, then hybridizing the single-stranded oligonucleotide with another single-stranded oligonucleotide having a base sequence complementary thereto, and ligating an oligonucleotide having a restriction enzyme site at the end thereof.
