  • Publication number: 20170343537
    Abstract: A specimen analyzing method of an embodiment includes: preparing a measurement specimen from a biological specimen containing blood cells by staining, with a nucleic acid staining fluorescent dye, nucleic acids contained in neutrophils not having released neutrophil extracellular traps; obtaining optical information including fluorescence information by irradiating the measurement specimen with light; and detecting, as neutrophil extracellular traps on the basis of the optical information, particles having lower fluorescence intensity than fluorescence intensity obtained from the neutrophils not having released neutrophil extracellular traps.

  • Patent number: 8524505
    Abstract: The present invention provides a blood analyzer and a blood analyzing method capable of obtaining information regarding B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes without using a fluorescence-labeled antibody. The blood analyzer of the present invention includes a blood specimen supplying portion, a sample preparation portion that prepares a measurement sample without using a fluorescence-labeled antibody by mixing a blood specimen supplied from the blood specimen supplying portion, a hemolyzing agent, and a fluorescent dye that stains nucleic acid, a light source, a first detector that detects fluorescence, a second detector that detects scattered light, and information processing portion that classifies lymphocytes based on the intensity of fluorescence and scattered light, and based on the fluorescence intensity of the classified lymphocytes, obtains information regarding B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes.

  • Publication number: 20040188886
    Abstract: To provide a molding method for non-painting molded article of automotive outer panel with high quality appearance and molded article thereof. The molding method for non-painting molded article of automotive outer panel (high quality appearance) is characterized by carrying out extrusion in metallic mold (wherein, Tb>Tc), where the tool temperature (Tb) was adjusted 0° C. to 100° C. higher than heat deformation temperature of injection thermoplastic resin, while heating. After cooling, the tool temperature (Tc) was lower down by 0° C. to 100° C. than heat deformation temperature of injection thermoplastic resin while extraction, during the injection molding of molten composition containing thermoplastic resin composition.
