  • Publication number: 20150160156
    Abstract: To easily introduce a sample into a sample separation medium without formation of a well in the sample separation medium, a cassette (100) for electrophoresis includes a porous member (132) containing an unseparated sample, a sample separation medium (112) for separating the sample, and a pushing tool (131) that presses the porous member (132) or the sample separation medium (112) so that the porous member (132) is pushed into the sample separation medium (112).

  • Publication number: 20130160520
    Abstract: A gas analyzer having a compact and simple structure and having a high performance in separating components of a sample gas is provided. The gas analyzer according to the present invention includes a gas introduction unit including a gas introduction port for introducing a sample gas; a gas separation unit including a microcolumn for separating components of the sample gas supplied from the gas introduction unit; and a gas detection unit detecting a gas component separated by the gas separation unit. The microcolumn is provided with an internal channel having a wall surface modified by a stationary phase. This stationary phase is made of a polar material having a relative permittivity of not less than 10 at 30° C.
