Abstract: A copper etching solution contains an oxidizing agent and an amine compound. The oxidizing agent is one or more selected from the group consisting of a perchlorate, a chlorate, a chlorite, a hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and a perborate, and the amine compound has one or more primary amino groups or secondary amino groups.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pretreatment method for electroless plating and a pretreatment solution for electroless plating capable of increasing an adsorption amount of a catalyst. A pretreatment method for electroless plating for performing an electroless plating on a substrate, the pretreatment method at least comprises: a cleaner process S10; a soft etching process S20 and/or an acid treatment process S30; a catalyst imparting process S40; and a catalyst reducing process S50, wherein an anionic surfactant for ionizing a part of a hydrophilic group to an anion is added to a treatment solution used in the soft etching process S20 and/or the acid treatment process S30, an ionic catalyst is imparted on the substrate in the catalyst imparting process S40, and the ionic catalyst is reduced in the catalyst reducing process S50 to increase an adsorption amount of the catalyst on the substrate.

Abstract: The ampholytic surfactants show the nature of anionic surfactants in an alkaline region and the nature of cationic surfactants in an acidic region. As described below, the pretreatment solution of the present invention may preferably indicate alkalinity of pH 8.5 or higher, and therefore, it exhibits the nature of cationic surfactants by the use of ampholytic surfactants. As the ampholytic surfactants, those disclosed in JP 2011-228517 A can be used.

Abstract: An injection needle assembly has an elongate, flexible liquid feed tube adapted to be inserted into the insertion channel of an endoscope. A needle is fixed to the distal end of the tube and adapted to be stuck in the body wall. A rigid connecting pipe is fixed on the outer surface of the proximal end portion of the tube. The connecting pipe is fixedly inserted into a fitting portion of a connector.
