Abstract: In preparation of an emulsion by causing a mixture to flow from one syringe through a connector into another syringe, an object is to prevent the air from being entrained into cylinders and prepare the emulsion containing no air bubble, and another object is to easily prepare a homogeneous emulsion. Provided is a syringe pressing apparatus, including: a syringe fixing mechanism for fixing two syringes to a casing, the two syringes being coupled to each other through a connector; a pressing mechanism for alternately pressing syringe plungers of the two syringes; and a plunger-pressure-measuring device for measuring a pressure with which the pressing mechanism presses the syringe plungers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a glucose decomposition-suppressed solid preparation for dialysis among powdery or granular preparations for dialysis containing acetate-free solid organic acids as pH adjusting agents. The present invention provides the solid preparation for dialysis containing electrolytes, glucose and pH adjusting agents characterized in that solid organic acids containing reduced amount of microparticles are used, and more specifically, characterized in that solid organic acids whose 20 or less percent of particles are 250 ?m or less in diameter, or solid organic acids whose 10 or less percent of particles are 150 ?m or less in diameter, are used. Preferably, the solid organic acid contained therein is citric acid.
