Publication number: 20240390590Abstract: Proposed is an injector in which when a solution containing biomolecules is injected into an injection target, a proportion of biomolecules that function in the injection target with respect to the injected biomolecules is large. This application also relates to a method of injecting a solution containing biomolecules into an injection target using the injector. In one aspect, the injector injects the solution containing biomolecules into the injection target from an injector main body without performing injection through a given structure in a state where the given structure is inserted into the injection target. The injector may include an accommodation unit and a nozzle unit, wherein the injector satisfies a given condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Katsuya MIKI, Shingo ATOBE, Hiroshi MIYAZAKI, Ayano SUZUKI, Yuko SAKAGUCHI

Publication number: 20240325648Abstract: Proposed is a measurement system for measuring a behavior of an ejection liquid, which is ejected into an object from an ejection device, within the object. The system includes a container part formed of a resin material. The system also includes an imaging device disposed to image, across the object, a tip surface of the container part having an ejection port formed therein and being in contact with the object from a back side of the object in a predetermined state in which the ejection port is positioned from a front side of the object. The system further includes a first emission device that emits first near infrared light to the tip surface. In such a configuration, the behavior of the ejection liquid when the ejection liquid is ejected into the object from the ejection device can be imaged and measured by the imaging device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Toru KITAGUCHI, Hiroshi MIYAZAKI, Yuko SAKAGUCHI
