Reaction vesselfor assaying of a subject substrate molecule comprises a translucent narrow tubewhich has a liquid feed portat one end, and which is intended to be packed with microparticlesas solid phase support on which a reagent molecule is bound thereto, in which said reagent is capable of binding to, adsorbing, or showing affinity with the subject substrate molecule, and a effluent collecting tubein which a liquid absorbing memberis provided inside for absorbing the liquid poured into the narrow tube, and which is connected to the narrow tubeat its downstream via a communicating passage, and a current-controlling mechanism for controlling liquid current in the narrow tube so as to hold the liquid in the narrow tubeduring a predetermined time.

Reaction vessel

This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, a peptide derived from a PACAP or VIP peptide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This invention provides a PACAP/VIP derivative that can inhibit tautomerization in a solution and that can be applied to clinical applications over a long period of time. Such peptides are useful for ameliorating symptoms of diseases, such as regressive neurodegenerative diseases, erectile dysfunction, and bronchial asthma.
