  • Publication number: 20220412870
    Abstract: To provide a microchip that is easily handled. Provided is a microchip having a plate shape and including: a sample liquid inlet into which a sample liquid is introduced; a main flow path through which the sample liquid introduced from the sample liquid inlet flows; and a sorting flow path into which a target sample is sorted from the sample liquid, in which the sample liquid inlet and a terminal end of the sorting flow path are formed on a same side surface. Furthermore, a sample sorting kit including the microchip is also provided. Moreover, a microparticle sorting device on which the microchip is mounted is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220381655
    Abstract: To provide a particle sorting kit provided with a filter that functions even at a small flow rate with a small loss amount of particles. Provided is a particle sorting kit provided with a sample accommodation unit configured to accommodate a sample liquid containing particles, a microchip provided with a sample flow path through which the sample liquid flows and a sorting flow path in which target particles are sorted from the sample liquid, and a filter unit provided with a filter and a tapered portion that decreases a flow path diameter in a flow direction downstream of the filter.

  • Publication number: 20200032184
    Abstract: The present technology provides a technology capable of performing stable liquid feeding. For this, the present technology provides a cell sample liquid feeding bag or the like including at least: an outflow port from which cell sample liquid flows out; a bottom portion including a reservoir unit capable of reserving cells and at least partly including a slope; and a first inner tube extending from the outflow port toward the reservoir unit to a position not contacting the reservoir unit, and the cell sample liquid is fed from a reservoir unit side toward an outflow port side of the first inner tube.

  • Publication number: 20200011782
    Abstract: The present technology is directed to providing a new technology to form a stable flow inside a flow channel. The present technology provides a flow channel unit including a flow rate fluctuation suppressing unit, in which a cross-sectional area of at least part of a downstream flow channel of the flow rate fluctuation suppressing unit is smaller than a cross-sectional area of a remaining part of the flow channel. Furthermore, the present technology also provides a microparticle analysis device including the flow channel unit that includes the flow rate fluctuation suppressing unit, in which the cross-sectional area of at least part of a downstream flow channel of the flow rate fluctuation suppressing unit is smaller than the cross-sectional area of a remaining part of the flow channel.
