Abstract: A urine specimen analysis device includes a specimen drawing portion, a sample preparing portion, a measurement portion, and an information processing portion. The specimen drawing portion draws a first aliquot and a second aliquot from a urine specimen. The sample preparing portion prepares a first measurement sample by mixing the first aliquot and a first staining dye that stains red blood cells, and a second measurement sample by mixing the second aliquot and a second staining dye that stains nucleic acids. The measurement portion measures fluorescence emitted from the first measurement sample prepared by the sample preparing portion, and fluorescence emitted from the second measurement sample prepared by the sample preparing portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a urine sample analyzer for analyzing particles contained in a urine sample and outputting analytical results. The analyzer includes a flow cell that accepts a measurement specimen, the measurement specimen comprising a urine sample mixed with a reagent, a light irradiation unit positioned to irradiate the flowing measurement specimen with light, a light detector that detects light from individual particles in the flowing measurement specimen, and a data processor that receives signal from the light detector, processes the signal to obtain parameter information corresponding to a length of a cell cluster, and classifies fungi in the measurement specimen into groups by using the parameter information.

Abstract: A double-sided adhesive tape at a vehicle front-side is provided straddling from a first flange section to a second flange section so as to cover a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of a double-face contact portion. Accordingly, water is prevented from penetrating in from a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the double-face contact portion. In other words, the double-sided adhesive tape doubles both as a joining member for fixing a garnish and as a waterproofing member for preventing water from penetrating in from the vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the double-face contact portion. Consequently, for example, provision of a waterproofing member such as a sealer or sponge can be dispensed with, and as a result a reduction in cost can be achieved.
