  • Publication number: 20240110890
    Abstract: A capillary array includes N analysis capillaries filled with a separation medium having a refractive index of n3 and used for electrophoretic analysis and N±1 lens capillaries filled with a medium having a refractive index of n4 and not used for the electrophoretic analysis, in which the N analysis capillaries and the N±1 lens capillaries are alternately arranged on the same array plane. When an outer diameter is defined as 2R, an inner diameter is defined as 2r, a refractive index of a medium of an outside is n1, and a refractive index of a material is defined as n2 for each of the N analysis capillaries and the N±1 lens capillaries, and when a refractive index n3 takes any value within the range of 1.33?n3?1.42, R, r, n1, n2, n3, and n4 satisfy a predetermined relationship, whereby the N analysis capillaries are efficiently simultaneously irradiated with the laser beam incident from a side of the array plane.

  • Publication number: 20240053651
    Abstract: When arraying laser-irradiation portions of a plurality of capillaries on the same array plane, simultaneous irradiation of the capillaries with a laser beam incident from the side is enabled by filling the capillaries with a separation medium having a low refractive index of n3<1.36 and by setting n1=1.00, n2=1.46, R/r<5.9, and ?Z?9 ?m, wherein a distance in a direction perpendicular to the array plane between two capillaries, which are farthest from each other in the perpendicular direction among the capillaries in the laser-irradiation portions, is denoted by 2×?Z, wherein an outer radius, an inner radius, a refractive index of an external medium, a refractive index of a material, and a refractive index of an internal medium of each of the capillaries in the laser-irradiation portions are denoted by R, r, n1, n2, and n3, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240044836
    Abstract: When laser-irradiation portions of N capillaries with capillary numbers n=1, 2, . . . , and N are arranged on a same plane, a laser-irradiation intensity of each capillary is denoted by L(n), and an output intensity of each capillary by a computer when a light emitting substance having an equal concentration exists inside each capillary is denoted by H(n), an absolute value of an average value of a second derivative of H(n) becomes smaller than an absolute value of an average value of a second derivative of L(n) for any refractive index n3 of a separation medium in a range of 1.33?n3?1.41 by digital correction by the computer, which changes according to the refractive index n3 (see FIG. 11).

  • Patent number: 11548562
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle body rear part structure. The vehicle body rear part includes a rear pillar, a damper housing and a gusset. The rear pillar forms a closed cross section by joining a pillar outer to a pillar inner. The gusset connects the damper housing and the rear pillar. The pillar inner is separated into a front inner plate and a rear inner plate with a position above a top wall of the damper housing as a boundary. Bulkhead parts are formed on end edges of the front inner plate and the rear inner plate that face a separation part by bending to have a substantially L-shaped cross section to reinforce the closed cross section between the pillar outer and the bulkhead parts. An upper part of the gusset is combined to the rear pillar to close the separation part.

  • Publication number: 20220236183
    Abstract: In an analysis method and an analysis system for detecting fluorescences from each of a plurality of light-emitting points in a plurality of wavelength bands in order to identify fluorescence emissions of a plurality of types of fluorophores from the plurality of light-emitting points, spatial crosstalk and spectral crosstalk are present between the plurality of light-emitting points and between the plurality of wavelength bands, and then performance of the identification is reduced. The spatial crosstalk and the spectral crosstalk are eliminated and concentrations of each of the plurality of types of fluorophores at each of the plurality of light-emitting points are derived by inputting all detection signals in the plurality of wavelength bands for the plurality of light-emitting points to a predetermined arithmetic operation expression.
