APPARATUS FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION, AND CHIP FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply concentrate various microorganisms in an apparatus for microbiological examination.;SOLUTION: The apparatus for the microbiological examination includes a detection chip, a transporting apparatus, a controller, and a magnet. The detection chip includes a specimen vessel for holding a specimen containing the microorganisms, a captured particle liquid vessel for holding the captured particle liquid containing magnetic particles, a microbiological capturing part 131 for capturing the microorganisms, and a liquid flow channel in the interior. The controller controls the transporting apparatus so as to flow the captured particle liquid 114 in such a state that magnetic force with the magnet 331 acts on the microbiological capturing part 131 to the microbiological capturing part 131, capture and hold the plurality of the magnetic particles 214 in the microbiological capturing part 131, thereby form a filtration filter, flow the specimen 1231 in the state to the microbiological capturing part 131, and deposit the microorganisms 175 in the specimen 1231 on one side of the filtration filter.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
