Transfer of fluid substances, and/or substances comprised in fluid substances, is controlled by introducing a separation medium, which prevents transfer of the fluid substances, and/or the substances comprised in the fluid substances, to an intermediate cavity connecting a first cavity and a second cavity; and introducing a connection medium to replace the separation medium and thereby start substance transfer to the second cavity. Substance transfer may be readily controlled without relying on mechanical means. Based on the present invention, two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis can be readily implemented on a chip.

Method for controlling substance transfer

The methods for producing microchannel chips of the present invention comprise the steps of shielding substrate surfaces on which groove-like channels have been formed, using a mask that exposes the channels, and then forming polymer membranes on the exposed surfaces of the substrates; and the step of laminating cover materials onto the side of the substrate surfaces on which the channels have been formed.

Methods for producing microchannel chips, microchannel chips, methods for separating biomolecules using the microchannel chips, and electrophoretic apparatus having the microchannel chips

The present invention is to provide a sample separation instrument used in a sample separation apparatus which includes: holding means for holding a first medium supporter which supports a first medium; and driving means for moving fixing means or the holding means in a direction parallel or perpendicular to a plane whose sides extend in the first direction and in the second directions. The sample separation instrument includes an insulator for storing a second medium which allows a sample separated in the first medium in the first direction to be further separated in the second direction different from the first direction, wherein: the insulator includes a first opening and a second opening each of which defines the second direction in which the second medium is electrified, and the second opening has a shape which allows the first medium containing the separated sample to be attached to the second medium along the first direction. The present invention realizes automation of the two-dimensional electrophoresis to enhance the convenience of the two-dimensional electrophoresis, to less depend on the operator's skill, and to enhance the reproducibility of the electrophoresis result.

Also included is a splicer for connecting the wire rods and the electronic circuit.

Electronic device and information reproduction system

An electronic apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a lid body turnable with respect to the apparatus main body and having a display portion for displaying information, and a lid body turnably supporting mechanism for turnably supporting the lid body with respect to the apparatus main body. The lid body turnably supporting mechanism has a first turning shaft with its axial direction extending in parallel to a principal surface of the apparatus main body, and a second turning shaft provided at one end of the first turning shaft in such a manner as to be perpendicular to the principal surface of the apparatus main body. In this electronic apparatus, the second turning shaft of the lid body turnably supporting mechanism is located at one of corners of the apparatus main body or the lid body.

Electronic apparatus

A display device includes a cabinet that has a liquid crystal display; a connection section that is rotatably provided relative to the cabinet about a first rotating shaft and parallel to the liquid crystal display; a cover body that is rotatably provided relative to the connection section about a second rotating shaft parallel to the first rotating shaft and that opens and closes the liquid crystal display; and spring pins that are provided in at least one of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft and that generate frictional forces upon rotating of the connection section and/or the cover body.

Display unit

An electronic apparatus includes an apparatus body, a lid member, a supporting mechanism, an operation section and a control section. The apparatus body has a playback section. The lid member has a display section provided on one face thereof. A signal from the playback section is supplied to the display section. The supporting mechanism is provided between the apparatus body and the lid member. The supporting mechanism supports the lid member on the apparatus body for pivotal motion between a first position wherein the lid member covers an upper face of the apparatus body and a second position wherein the lid member uncovers the upper face of the apparatus body and also for pivotal motion around an axis parallel to the plane of the lid member at the second position. The operation section is provided on the apparatus body. The control section is provided on the apparatus body. The control section changes over a direction of movement of a cursor displayed on the display section based on an input signal from the operation section in response to a state of the lid member pivoted around the axis parallel to the plane of the lid member at the second position.
