  • Publication number: 20240094099
    Abstract: The methods for sample preparation disclosed herein utilize an air phase to reduce aqueous phase associated with magnetic particles bound to nucleic acids to decrease carryover of one or more contaminants, such as, cell debris, chaotropic agents, non-specifically attached molecules, and the like. This air-transfer step is improved by using a combination of a first population of magnetic particles and a second population of magnetic particles, where the first population of magnetic particles is capable of associating with nucleic acids, and the magnetic particles in the second population are at least two-times larger in size than the size of the magnetic particles in the first population. As discussed herein, the use of this second population of magnetic particles improves the transfer of the first population of magnetic particles by reducing loss of the first magnetic particles during the transfer. The sample preparation methods may be semi-automated or completely automated.

  • Patent number: 9827045
    Abstract: A laser light waveguide device includes laser light provision units that oscillate and cause laser light to exit; a laser light waveguide path formed of an optical fiber capable of guiding the laser light; and a control unit that controls the laser light provision units. The control unit detects an illumination spot (output of the visible laser light) based on a captured image, captured by an image capturing unit, of a laser light illumination area and an area close thereto illuminated with the laser light, and controls exit of the infrared laser light by the infrared laser light provision unit based on a result of detection of the illumination spot (output of the visible laser light).

  • Publication number: 20090276585
    Abstract: An access information storage section (106) stores access information in which an effective area, used for determining whether access to a portion of or all of data stored in a data storage section (107) is permitted/not permitted, is defined. A position information acquisition section (101) acquires position information about the current position from a position information providing terminal (300). When access to specific data having the access information occurs, an access determination process section (102) determines whether the current position about which the position information is acquired by the position information acquisition section (101) is within or outside the effective area defined for the specific data.
