Abstract: A liquid sample analysis method including communicating a specific flow path with an aspirator via a branch flow path, aspirating air from the aspirator, aspirating a liquid sample into the sample supply path from the aspirator so that an entire amount of the aspirated air is accommodated in the branch flow path, communicating a sample extrusion path with a sample port, communicating a sheath fluid supply path with a sheath fluid port, and isolating the branch flow path from both the sample supply path and the specific flow path, extruding the liquid sample in the sample supply path so as to inflow into the sample flow path by causing a sheath fluid to inflow into the sheath fluid flow path from the sheath fluid supply path and causing the sheath fluid to inflow into the sample supply path from the sample extrusion path.

Abstract: A fluid delivery method for delivering a liquid sample to a flow cell including a taper section including a first and a second inner walls opposing the first inner wall, which is inclined to the second inner wall so that a distance between the first and the second inner walls at a downstream side of the taper section is shorter than a distance at an upstream side of the taper section, and including measurement flow path provided downstream of the taper section, through which a liquid sample flows together with a sheath fluid. The fluid delivery method includes sample introduction of delivering the liquid sample into the taper section along the second inner wall until the liquid sample reaches the measurement flow path, and sample pressing by delivering the sheath fluid into the taper section along the first inner wall after the liquid sample reaches the measurement flow path.

Abstract: A drain plug device is provided with a plug lid, a mounting member inserted in an overflow port, an operation handle provided corresponding to an opening of the mounting member at one end thereof so as to protrude from a surface of a sidewall, a transmission member configured to transmit a driving force generated by a pivoting operation of the operation handle to the plug lid side, and a handle moving mechanism capable of moving the operation handle. The handle moving mechanism is configured to make an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is open smaller than an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is closed. Whereby a good draining efficiency at the overflow port side is secured when draining is performed therethrough.

Abstract: The amount of consumption of a washing solution for a nozzle and the required time for washing are reduced. A nozzle washing apparatus usable for collection of a specimen comprises a washing tank which accommodates a nozzle, a first discharge port which discharges a washing solution supplied into the washing tank from an upper portion of the washing tank, a second discharge port which discharges the washing solution supplied into the washing tank from a position lower than the first discharge port of the washing tank, a detector which detects a range of contact of an outer wall of the nozzle with the specimen, and a controller which discharges the washing solution supplied into the washing tank from one of the first discharge port and the second discharge port on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detector.

Abstract: The process for preparing a resin metal salt involves reacting a resin containing a carboxyl group and/or an anhydride group in the state of a solution in a solvent with a hydroxide, oxide or carbonate of a divalent metal in the presence of ammonia or an amine. The resin metal salts so prepared are useful as binders in inks, paints, and adhesives.
