Patent number: 9046515Abstract: A main object of the invention is to provide a polymer compound for medicine which has an excellent capability of fixing a biologically active substance and has such chemical/physical stability that the compound is less dissolved or deteriorated in a washing step, in particular, which can be suitably applied to a plastic substrate surface. The invention provides a polymer compound for medical material which is a polymer comprising repeating units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomer (a) having a functional group for fixing a biologically active substance, wherein the polymer has a reactive functional group on at least one terminal side thereof, and a biochip substrate wherein a layer containing the polymer compound is formed on a substrate surface, thereby attaining the object.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: SUMITOMO BAKELITE COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Takayuki Matsumoto, Sumio Shibahara, Sohei Funaoka, Daisuke Masuda

Publication number: 20150148486Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of immobilizing the biologically active substance which has an excellent capability of immobilizing a target biologically active substance, and exhibits low nonspecific adsorption of the biologically active substance to provide a high S/N ratio, without using a functional group for fixing the biologically active substance and without having a process of inactivating the functional group for fixing the biologically active substance after immobilizing the biologically active substance. The above object is achieved by a method of immobilizing a biologically active substance comprising the step of: bringing a solution into contact with a compound-side surface of an immobilizing substrate to immobilize the biologically active substance on a surface of the immobilizing substrate, the solution being prepared by dissolving the biologically active substance in a phosphate buffer having a phosphate concentration of 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2015Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: SUMITOMO BAKELITE COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Sohei FUNAOKA, Midori ABE

Publication number: 20100222226Abstract: To provide an electronic component mounting system and an electronic component mounting method which can prevent a mounting failure due to positional error in a height direction of a substrate and ensure mounting quality. The electronic component mounting system includes a plurality of electronic component mounting devices connected to one another and mounts an electronic component on a substrate to manufacture a mounting substrate. A print test device for testing the substrate after solder printing measures a height position of a height measurement point set on the upper surface of the substrate 4 by a height measuring machine 22 and outputs a measurement result as substrate height data. In a component placing step using an electronic component placing device, a control parameter for controlling a component placing operation of the placing head 32 is updated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2004Publication date: September 2, 2010Inventors: Kazuhiko Ishihara, Sohei Funaoka, Kanehisa Yokoyama
