Abstract: In a method for analyzing samples involving the use of a device for analyzing samples, the device for analyzing samples includes at least a movement part through which a sample moves, and a measurement unit that is formed in a middle of the movement part and that measures a value of an ion current when the sample passes through the movement part. The analysis method includes at least a measurement step for measuring the value of the ion current when the sample passes through the movement part, and a determination step for determining a change over time in a quantity of ions from the value of the ion current measured in the measurement step. The quantity of ions includes a quantity of ions that have leaked from the sample during movement of the sample through the movement part.

Abstract: Provided is a device for electrical measurement designed to be able to perform high sensitivity detection by reading not only changes in steady-state current, but also the occurrence of transient current, and an electrical measurement apparatus including the device for electrical measurement. The device for electrical measurement includes a substrate on which are formed at least a sample separation channel and a sample migration channel, as well as a sample measuring unit, with one end of the sample separation channel formed to connect to one end of the sample migration channel, and the sample measuring unit including a first measuring unit connected to the sample migration channel, and a second measuring unit connected to the sample migration channel from the reverse side to the first measuring unit.

Abstract: A method for analyzing a gas includes: allowing a sample gas to be adsorbed by each of a plurality of adsorbents (70) respectively having compositions that are different from each other; allowing the sample gas to be desorbed individually from the adsorbents (70) while detecting individually the sample gas desorbed from each of the adsorbents (70) so as to acquire desorption profiles of the sample gas that are respectively unique to the adsorbents (70); and identifying the sample gas by using a group of the desorption profiles. The acquiring of the desorption profiles is carried out by detecting, individually and over time, the sample gas desorbed from each of the adsorbents (70). Each of the desorption profiles is, for example, an overtime data created from a detection signal reflecting a quantity of the sample gas.
