  • Publication number: 20240118626
    Abstract: A determination method includes measuring first relative positions as a first measurement, measuring second relative positions as a second measurement, and determining presence or absence of an abnormality. The first relative positions are relative positions between members corresponding to a plurality of respective measurement positions and a conveyance unit when the conveyance unit moves to the plurality of respective measurement positions. The second relative positions are the relative positions between the members corresponding to the plurality of respective measurement positions and the conveyance unit when the conveyance unit moves to the plurality of respective measurement positions after the first measurement. Presence or absence of an abnormality in the conveyance unit and presence or absence of an abnormality in a floor at one measurement position of the plurality of respective measurement positions is determined based on measurement results of the first and second measurements.

  • Patent number: 10875016
    Abstract: A micro analysis chip comprises an inlet and a fluid flow path communicating thereto. The fluid flow path comprises a first flow path, a second flow path, and a third flow path arranged continuously along a longitudinal direction of the fluid flow path. An antibody is bound on at least one peripheral surface selected from the group consisting of peripheral surfaces of the second and third flow paths. A cross-sectional area of the third flow path is constant or increased monotonically along a direction X from the second flow path toward the third flow path. A cross-sectional area of the second flow path is increased monotonically along the direction X from the one end to the other end of the second flow path. A cross-sectional area of the first flow path is larger than a cross-sectional area at the one end of the second flow path.
