Abstract: There is provided a nucleic acid extraction method applicable to microbes in a relatively wide range, and capable of rapidly extracting nucleic acid. The nucleic acid extraction method comprises the steps of introducing a cell suspension into a vessel, sealing the vessel, and preheating a heater up to a set temperature not lower than 100° C. Further, the method comprises the step of bringing the vessel into contact with the heater heated up to the set temperature, thereby heating the cell suspension housed in the vessel up to a prescribed highest temperature at not lower than 100° C. with the vessel held in a sealed state.

Abstract: Recycled ceramic slurry is produced by a method including the steps: dissolving the waste material of unfired ceramic in a solvent to form a waste solution; and adjusting a composition of the waste solution to thereby produce the recycled ceramic slurry. If the waste material of unfired ceramic includes a metal component, the metal component may be removed therefrom before the step of adjusting the composition of the waste solution.

Abstract: The dielectric ceramic composition is composed of a sintered body of ceramic particles containing Ba2Ti5O11 as a major component. The ceramic particles may contain Ag in the form of solid solution at the rate of 0.2% to 3.0% by mole. the ceramic particles may further contain Ba2TiSi2O8 so the BaTi5O11/Ba2TiSi2O8 ratio is 1.5 to 9 BaTi5O11 to 1 Ba2TiSi2O8. The dielectric ceramic composition can be sintered at a low enough temperature to enable a highly conductive metal such as Ag, Cu or the like to be burned and sintered integrally.
