  • Publication number: 20240123405
    Abstract: A solid type nano-pore sequencer is arrayed easily. In a liquid column separation device including first and second base materials, a liquid feeding unit supplies fluids to a gap between the two base materials. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are disposed on a surface of the second base material, and the hydrophilic region is disposed to oppose a predetermined position of the first base material where a substance to be measured is made to pass through. Also, a flow passage space includes at least one inlet and outlet through which fluids can flow in and out. A representative length of the hydrophilic region is made larger than a distance between the first and second base materials, and thereby a liquid column capable of connecting the first base material and the second base material is formed by making two or more immiscible fluids to flow by the liquid feed unit.

  • Patent number: 10739260
    Abstract: This optical analyzing device is provided with a light source, a detector, a substrate having a metal film on at least one surface thereof, and an optical element for introducing a light beam from the light source to the substrate and delivering the light beam from the substrate toward the detector. A plurality of sample regions for holding samples are provided on the metal film; and a portion of the light beam from the light source is irradiated to any one of the sample regions, is reflected, at least once, by the surface of the substrate on the opposite side of the side on which the sample regions are provided, and is not irradiated to a sample region other than the aforementioned sample region in the path thereof until the portion of the light beam is delivered by the optical element.
