  • NUCLEIC ACID INSPECTION APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20200209182
    Abstract: A nucleic acid inspection apparatus has an installer to install a nucleic acid inspection device, the installer comprising a storage unit to store at least a specimen sample, an amplifier to amplify nucleic acid contained in the specimen sample stored in the storage unit, a first flow passage to move the specimen sample from the storage unit to the amplifier, an inspection unit, and a second flow passage to move the specimen sample from the amplifier to the inspection unit, a first opening/closing unit to open/close the first flow passage, a second opening/closing unit to open/close the second flow passage, a heater to heat the amplifier, and a controller to control the first and second opening/closing units so as to open/close in a predetermined order and to control the heater so as to heat the amplifier in conjunction with opening/closing operations of the first and second opening/closing units.

  • Disk cartridge with lubricating means in contact with spindle of drive means
    Patent number: 5241441
    Abstract: In a disk cartridge of the invention, a lubricating polymer film as a resin in which a solid lubricant or a reinforcing material is dispersed is arranged in a case near the center hole of a disk. Since this lubricating polymer film is hardly abraded even with a disk whose number of revolutions per unit time is high, almost no dust is generated. Therefore, a disk cartridge with higher reliability can be provided.
