  • Publication number: 20240123405
    Abstract: A solid type nano-pore sequencer is arrayed easily. In a liquid column separation device including first and second base materials, a liquid feeding unit supplies fluids to a gap between the two base materials. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are disposed on a surface of the second base material, and the hydrophilic region is disposed to oppose a predetermined position of the first base material where a substance to be measured is made to pass through. Also, a flow passage space includes at least one inlet and outlet through which fluids can flow in and out. A representative length of the hydrophilic region is made larger than a distance between the first and second base materials, and thereby a liquid column capable of connecting the first base material and the second base material is formed by making two or more immiscible fluids to flow by the liquid feed unit.
