A microchip includes a cell accepting section, a lysis solution chamber and a lysis reaction chamber. The cell accepting section accepts cells obtained from a subject. The lysis solution chamber stores lysis solution for lysis of the cells. The lysis reaction of the cells is executed in the lysis reaction chamber.

Microchip, microchip controlling apparatus and microchip controlling system

An information processing apparatus comprises an extraction part and a genetic information generation part. The extraction part extracts a phenotypic site(s) representing a genetic phenotype(s) of a living entity from the image. The genetic information generation part generates genetic information of the living entity captured in the image based on the phenotypic site(s) extracted by the extraction part. The image comprises a person image in which a person captured. The genetic information generation part may generate genetic information of the person captured in the person image.

Microchip, microchip controlling apparatus and microchip controlling system technical field

A microchip comprises a plurality of laminated elastic sheets, wherein the elastic sheets are partially inadhesive each other so that at least 3 middle layers are formed; as a first middle layer, first flow path and second flow path through which liquid flows are formed; as a second middle layer, a first flow path opening/closing section for opening and closing the first flow path is formed; and as a third middle layer, a second flow path opening/closing section for opening and closing the second flow path is formed.

Microchip, microchip controlling method and microchip controlling apparatus

A microchip comprises a PCR section, a denaturing section, and an electrophoresis section. In the PCR section, a desired region in DNA is amplified. In the denaturing section, PCR amplicon of double-strand DNA is denatured into single-strand DNA. In the electrophoresis section, the PCR amplicon is separated based on the length of sequence.

Microchip, DNA analysis method and DNA analysis system

The present invention provides a chip for analysis of a target substance that is compact and allows analysis of a target substance with less time and effort. The chip for analysis of a target substance includes a first flexible substrate, a second flexible substrate, and a third substrate. A flow channel-forming non-bonded areais formed on a bonding surface of the first flexible substrateand the second flexible substratein a band-like manner and an extraction chamber-forming non-bonded areahaving a wider band width than the flow channel-forming non-bonded areais formed at a part of the flow channel-forming non-bonded area. The first flexible substrateincludes a through-holethat is in contact with the flow channel-forming non-bonded area, a shutter-forming non-bonded areais formed on a bonding surface of the second flexible substrateand the third substrateat a far side of the through-holerelative to the extraction chamber-forming non-bonded areasuch that the shutter-forming non-bonded areaand the flow channel-forming non-bonded areaintersect above and below, the first flexible substrateand the second flexible substrateinclude a pressure supply portthat comes through the substrates so as to be in contact with the shutter-forming non-bonded area, and a magnetic particlethat binds to a target substance is placed above the extraction chamber-forming non-bonded area

Chip for analysis of target substance

An analysis chip device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a placing board () on which a microchip () is placed, and a coupling () attached to a cover () of the microchip (). The coupling () includes a linear electrode (), a sleeve () including an attach part () that is attached to the cover () and an air core part () in which the electrode () is provided, the sleeve () having a side surface in which an inlet port () is provided, the inlet port () communicating with the air core part (); and a holder () including a pipe connection part () to which a pipe () is connected, the pipe () supplying gas to the inlet port (), the holder () holding the sleeve () so as to surround the inlet port ().

Analysis device

A test reagent container includes: a bottom part; a peripheral wall part on the periphery of the bottom part; a storage part which opens upward and with an internal diameter of an inner peripheral wall decreased with depth; a film which seals the opening of the storage part; a discharge channel which penetratingly passes from an inner bottom surface of the storage part to the bottom part of the container body; a projecting part formed downwardly projecting from the bottom part to seal an outlet of the discharge channel; a breakable part including a thick-walled part and a thin-walled part thinner than the thick-walled part formed on the periphery of the projecting part. The breakable part is broken when the projecting part is depressed from outside of the container, the projecting part is inserted into the inside of the discharge channel, and the sealed state of the outlet is released.

Reagent container

A test reagent container including a discharge port, formed by depressing a projecting part formed on a container bottom part, through which content can be easily and reliably discharged. The test reagent container includes: a bottom part; a peripheral wall raised approximately perpendicularly from a periphery of the bottom part; and a storage part defined by the bottom part and peripheral wall. A projecting part is formed on the bottom part in a projecting manner toward outside the container. A proximal end of the projecting part is formed in a bendable manner relative to the bottom part, and an easily breakable part is formed on a periphery of the projecting part except for the proximal end of the projecting part. The easily breakable part is broken when the projecting part is depressed from outside the container to be pushed into the inside of the container to form a discharge port.

Test reagent container

A game is provided based on real data which changes with time reflecting phenomena occurring in real life. In a game system for providing a virtual stock trade game to players base on the real life stock price data, stock price data is obtained in almost real time from a broker etc., and stock virtually owned by the player in a game space corresponding to real life is evaluated by the stock price data. By allowing the players to compete for a time period until a target total asset value is achieved, a new player can compete under almost the same circumstances as the preceding players regardless of the timing at which they started participating in the game.

Game system, game providing method, and information recording medium

The appeal of a game can be increased by notifying actions performed in the game by other players. In a game system for providing a virtual stock trade game to a plurality of players, the player-owned brand data is stored which represents the stock brands virtually owned by each player in a game space. At least one of the plurality of players is selected based on, for example, his/her performance in the game, and the portfolio of the selected player is publicized to the other players based on the player-owned brand data.
