A cerium oxide nanoparticle is produced by mixing a solution of an aromatic heterocyclic compound having no substituent or at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, an ethyl group, an amino group, an aminomethyl group, a monomethylamino group, a dimethylamino group, and a cyano group and containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms and 1 to 4 nitrogen atoms in a ring structure of the aromatic heterocyclic compound, with a solution containing a cerium (III) ion or with a cerium (III) salt, followed by addition of an oxidant.

This disclosure relates to a nucleic acid collection column that collects a nucleic acid from a liquid sample containing the nucleic acid. The nucleic acid collection column includes a sample injection portion having an opening into which the liquid sample containing the nucleic acid is injected, a support adsorption portion that houses a support for adsorbing the nucleic acid and in which the nucleic acid is adsorbed on the support, and a discharge portion that discharges a liquid passed through the support adsorption portion. The support includes aluminum oxide having a surface where a water-soluble neutral polymer is adsorbed. A space that houses the support in the support adsorption portion has a cylindrical shape, and has a volume of 0.13 &#x3bc;L or more and 13.5 &#x3bc;L or less. An aspect ratio (d/d) of the space satisfies 1.0&#x2264;d/d&#x3c;15.0.

Nucleic acid collection column

A polyester resin composition including an ionic liquid that can dissolve an acid component monomer and/or oligomers of a polyester terephthalate, and a copper element that exhibits a reduced amount of production of the acid component monomer and/or oligomers of the polyester. Examples of the ionic liquid include 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. In one polyester resin composition, the surface roughness Ra of a capture plate is less than 0.150 &#x3bc;m, as measured when a sample of the polyester resin composition is melt at 300&#xb0; C. for 60 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere, quickly cooled and thermally treated at 220&#xb0; C. for 8 hours to form scattered products which are then attached to the capture plate and a gelation ratio after a 6-hour melting treatment at 300&#xb0; C. under an atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 1% is 5% or less.
