Publication number: 20060042962Abstract: In a high-throughput cell assay apparatus, a cell-and-electrode chip conveying apparatus moves from a cell storage to a measuring portion, and then to a cell-and-electrode chip disposal portion. Thereafter, it is determined if the electrode chip after being used should be re-used, again, or not, by referring to a condition for exchanging the electrode chip. When not be re-used, again, the cell-and-electrode chip conveying apparatus shifts the electrode chip from the measuring portion to the cell-and-electrode chip disposal portion, thereby disposing the electrode chip. The conveying apparatus moves from an exchangeable electrode chip storage to the measuring portion, thereby position a new electrode chip onto the measuring portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Yukako Asano, Tetsuro Miyamoto, Shigenori Togashi
