An inspection apparatus comprises a first channel that passes an aqueous sample therethrough, a second channel that passes a phosphate eluent therethrough, a separation device that separates by size a group of substances contained in the aqueous sample, and a TOC device that oxidizes each substance separated by the separation device by size and measures organic carbon contained in each substance. The separation device includes a column for size-exclusion chromatography and a sample injection unit that introduces the aqueous sample into a mobile phase passed through the first channel. The second channel is connected to the first channel between the column and the sample injection unit, and causes the phosphate eluent to merge with the aqueous sample between the sample injection unit and the column.

Inspection apparatus

Provided is a molecular assembly (for example, a polymeric micelle nanoparticle) which is capable of efficiently encapsulating a fat-soluble drug. A molecular assembly comprising: an amphiphilic block polymer A1 comprising a hydrophilic block having a sarcosine unit and a hydrophobic block having a lactic acid unit; a hydrophobic polymer A2 having a lactic acid unit; a fatty acid triglyceride; and a fat-soluble drug. Examples of the fat-soluble drug include miriplatin.

Medicinal agent-containing molecular assembly which uses amphiphilic block polymer

Provided are a coated metal pigment which can satisfy both the coating stability in use as an aqueous coating, i.e., water resistance, and the chemical resistance of coating films produced by application thereof at practically satisfactory levels; a method for producing the same; and an aqueous coating containing the same. The invention relates to a coated metal pigment including a metal pigment and a composite coating layer, wherein the composite coating layer includes an adhesion layer which is disposed on the surface of the metal pigment either in contact with the metal pigment or at an interposition of another layer and contains polysiloxane and/or silica, and a resin layer which is disposed on the surface of the adhesion layer either in contact with the adhesion layer or at an interposition of another layer.

Coated metal pigment, method for production of the same, and coating composition containing the same

A method of measuring the activity of interferon-.alpha., .beta. or .omega., which comprises bringing a sample containing interferon into contact with a cell and determining an induced protein is provided.

Method of measuring interferon acitivity

This invention provides a copper or copper alloy mold for continuous casting of steel characterized in that a nickel-boron alloy plating layer containing 0.06 to 0.3 wt. % of boron is formed on its interior surface.

Molds for continuous casting of steel

This invention provides a method of continuously casting steel with the use of a copper or copper alloy mold comprising a pair of long side mold pieces and a pair of short side mold pieces slidable along the long side mold pieces for changing the width of the slab to be produced, the method being characterized by inserting into the mold at each corner thereof a cooling member made of a material identical or substantially identical with the steel to be cast and slidingly moving the short side mold pieces under reduced clamping pressure acting between the long side mold pieces and the short side mold pieces in contact therewith.

Method of continuously casting steel

A mold of copper or copper alloy for continuously casting steel comprises a rough inner surface, a plating of nickel, cobalt or alloy thereof formed over the inner surface and a chromium plating formed over said plating. The mold has a prolonged mold life, gives steel slabs with improved qualities and reduces amounts of lubricating material used in the molding operation.

Molds for continuously casting steel

A copper or copper alloy mold for continuously casting steel is characterized in that the mold has a first layer formed on its interior surface and comprising at least one of nickel and cobalt and a second layer formed on the first layer and containing at least one of nickel and cobalt as a main component and at least one of phosphorus and boron.
