Patent number: 8354238Abstract: A method of assaying a sample with the use of the aggregation reaction of immunological microparticles and an assay kit. The assay is conducted by using microparticles wherein the same or an analog of the analyte and a substance that specifically binds to a substance that can specifically bind to the analyte are both bound to an insoluble carrier. Thus, it becomes possible to conveniently carry out the assay even in the case where the analyte has only a small number of specific binding sites, without especially adding a competitive substance carrying hapten bonded thereto to the reaction system so as to induce simultaneous competition of the target substance and the competitive substance.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Alfresa Pharma CorporationInventors: Mari Yanagiya, Mutsumi Tanaka, Mieko Kosaka, Masayasu Enomoto

Publication number: 20110212544Abstract: A method for measuring an analyte in a sample, includes the steps of (a) mixing a sample containing the analyte, a complex comprising a plurality of molecules of a substance that specifically binds to the analyte, and microparticles each having the analyte or an analog of the analyte bound to an insoluble support; and (b) measuring an agglutination reaction of the microparticles in a mixture obtained in the step (a). In the method, for example, an antibody is used in the form of a complex of a plurality of molecules of the antibody, rather than in the form of a single molecule of the antibody. Therefore, the sensitivity to the measurement is increased, and the measurement in a lower concentration range becomes possible. A reagent kit for measuring is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2009Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: ALFRESA PHARMA CORPORATIONInventor: Mutsumi Tanaka

Publication number: 20110117671Abstract: Provided is a method for maintaining the reactivity of microparticles having a reactive substance bound thereto in a dispersion liquid of the microparticles over a long period of time by stabilizing the microparticles in the dispersion liquid. The method for stabilizing microparticles having a reactive substance bound thereto includes the step of allowing a sulfur-containing amino acid or a derivative thereof to coexist in a dispersion liquid of the microparticles. The sulfur-containing amino acid includes one or more of cysteine, cystine, and methionine. The method is particularly useful when a precipitation preventing substance, such as a polyanion, dextran, or the like, is allowed to coexist in the dispersion liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2009Publication date: May 19, 2011Applicant: Alfresa Pharma CorporationInventor: Mutsumi Tanaka

Patent number: 5452539Abstract: A method of carrying rats and an apparatus for trapping rats capable of solving problems of a prior art apparatus by repeatedly using a single carrier during the carriage of a rat. In the course of carrying a rat inside a duct toward a processing site, air flow is generated to move a carrier which pushes and moves the rat to the processing site but the carrier is held so as to be returned to its original position. At this time, another air flow is generate to return the carrier to its original position to prepare for a next trapping operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1994Date of Patent: September 26, 1995Assignee: Ikari CorporationInventors: Toshishige Kurosawa, Satoru Ishizaka, She Rin, Mutsumi Tanaka
