Latest Patents
One of Mihashi's latest inventions is a body fluid sampling device. This device features an elastic membrane within a hermetically sealed housing, which includes a communication path with a check valve and a needling means positioned beneath the membrane. When the membrane is pressed by a fingertip, the needling means penetrates both the membrane and the skin, allowing blood to be exuded. The design efficiently introduces the blood into the housing due to the negative pressure created by the elastic movement of the membrane.
Another notable patent is a method of manufacturing a probe carrier. This flat plate-shaped carrier is designed to hold probes, such as single-stranded DNAs and proteins, that react specifically with target substances. The carrier consists of multiple ring bodies arranged in parallel, with the external space filled with a filler. Each ring body has a region for fixing a probe that bonds specifically to a target substance. The manufacturing process involves bundling hollow tubular members, filling the external space, and cutting the bundle to create the probe carrier.
