Description

本発明は、測定方法とそれに用いる反応容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a measuring method and a reaction vessel used therein.

現在、タンパク質や遺伝子などの分析には、複数のウェルが形成されたマイクロプレートが使用されている(たとえば、特許文献1参照)。このようなマイクロプレートを用いた分析方法としては、ウェル内に細胞などの試料や試薬を注入し、抗原抗体反応や酵素反応など目的に応じた化学反応を実施し、反応液から放射される発光または蛍光の強度を測定して、目的物質を検出または定量する方法が挙げられる。一度に複数の分析を行うため、近年では、ウェルの容積が小さく数が多いマイクロプレートが使用されるようになってきている。このマイクロプレートでは、少量の試料や試薬を用いて一度に複数の化学反応を実施し、複数の目的物質を検出または定量することができる。 Currently, microplates in which a plurality of wells are formed are used for analysis of proteins, genes, etc. (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As an analysis method using such a microplate, a sample or reagent such as a cell is injected into a well, a chemical reaction such as an antigen-antibody reaction or an enzyme reaction is carried out according to the purpose, and light emission emitted from the reaction solution is carried out. Alternatively, a method of detecting or quantifying the target substance by measuring the fluorescence intensity can be mentioned. In recent years, microplates with a small well volume and a large number have been used to perform a plurality of analyzes at one time. With this microplate, a plurality of chemical reactions can be carried out at one time using a small amount of sample or reagent, and a plurality of target substances can be detected or quantified.

以下、本発明の加飾品の製造方法について、実施形態の一例を説明する。 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the method for manufacturing the decorative product of the present invention will be described.

<第1実施形態>
本発明の測定方法は、複数のウェル10aが形成されたマイクロプレート10と、ウェル10a内に注入された透明な鉱油11とを含んでなる反応容器1のウェル10a内に少なくとも2種の液体2、3を注入して反応させ、反応液4から生じ透明な鉱油11を通過した発光を検出し、発光の強度を測定することを特徴とするものである(図1参照)。
<First Embodiment>
In the measuring method of the present invention, at least two kinds of liquids 2 are contained in the well 10a of the reaction vessel 1 including the microplate 10 in which a plurality of wells 10a are formed and the transparent mineral oil 11 injected into the wells 10a. 3 is injected and reacted, and the light emission generated from the reaction solution 4 and passed through the transparent mineral oil 11 is detected, and the intensity of the light emission is measured (see FIG. 1).

マイクロプレート10は、長さ0.1〜130mm、幅0.1〜90mm、高さ0.1〜30mmであり、材質はポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、ポリプロピレンなどの樹脂やガラスなどを用いることができる。マイクロプレート10には複数のウェル10aが形成されている。ウェル10aは、深さ0.01mm〜20mm、直径0.01mm〜80mm、容積0.8pL〜100mL、数1〜42400000、ウェル間距離15μm〜145mmであるマイクロプレート10を用いることができる。なお、ウェル10aの底は平らでもよいし、丸くてもよい。 The microplate 10 has a length of 0.1 to 130 mm, a width of 0.1 to 90 mm, and a height of 0.1 to 30 mm, and a resin such as polyethylene, polystyrene, or polypropylene, or glass can be used as the material. A plurality of wells 10a are formed on the microplate 10. As the well 10a, a microplate 10 having a depth of 0.01 mm to 20 mm, a diameter of 0.01 mm to 80 mm, a volume of 0.8 pL to 100 mL, a number of 1 to 4240000, and a distance between wells of 15 μm to 145 mm can be used. The bottom of the well 10a may be flat or round.

ウェル10a内にはあらかじめ透明な鉱油11を注入しておく(図1(a)、図3参照)。透明な鉱油11は、精製されたものであり、不揮発性を有し、水相よりも比重が低いものを用いる。たとえば、流動パラフィンなどの炭素数が6以上の炭化水素化合物(直鎖飽和炭化水素、分岐鎖飽和炭化水素、環状飽和炭化水素)、エチルエーテル、石油エーテル、ジフェニルエーテルなどを用いることができる。これらは、単体または混合物として用いることができる。中でも、流動パラフィンが好ましい。透明であり不純物が少ないため、反応液4から生じた発光を吸収または減衰しにくい。 A transparent mineral oil 11 is injected into the well 10a in advance (see FIGS. 1A and 3). The transparent mineral oil 11 is refined, has non-volatility, and has a specific gravity lower than that of the aqueous phase. For example, it is possible to use a carbon number of 6 or more hydrocarbon compounds such as liquid paraffin (straight chain saturated hydrocarbons, branched-chain saturated hydrocarbon, cyclic saturated hydrocarbon), ethyl ether, petroleum ether, a etc. diphenyl ether. These can be used alone or as a mixture. Among these, fluidized paraffin is preferred. Since it is transparent and contains few impurities, it is difficult to absorb or attenuate the light emitted from the reaction solution 4.

上記のマイクロプレート10のウェル10a内に透明な鉱油11を注入した反応容器1に、液体2を注入する(図1(b)参照)。注入には、たとえばディスペンサ8を用いることができる。液体2はたとえば、細胞組織、抗体、DNA、RNAなどの試料を用いることができる。このとき、ウェル10a内には透明な鉱油11が注入されているため、透明な鉱油11によって液体2の蒸発を防ぐことができる。 The liquid 2 is injected into the reaction vessel 1 in which the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected into the well 10a of the microplate 10 (see FIG. 1 (b)). For injection, for example, a dispenser 8 can be used. As the liquid 2, for example, a sample such as a cell tissue, an antibody, DNA, or RNA can be used. At this time, since the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected into the well 10a, the transparent mineral oil 11 can prevent the liquid 2 from evaporating.

次に、ウェル10a内に液体3を注入する(図1(c)参照)。注入には、たとえばディスペンサ8を用いることができる。液体3はたとえば、試薬、抗原、基質などを用いることができる。 Next, the liquid 3 is injected into the well 10a (see FIG. 1 (c)). For injection, for example, a dispenser 8 can be used. As the liquid 3, for example, reagents, antigens, substrates and the like can be used.

液体2、3をウェル10a内に注入した後、化学反応が開始される(図1(d)参照)。反応液4から発光が生じ、その光が透明な鉱油11を通過して、測定器9の検出部9aに届く(図1(e)参照)。検出部9aで光を検出し、発光強度を測定する。測定器9としては、マイクロプレートリーダ、マイクロアレイスキャナ、ルミノメーター、CCDイメージャーなどを用いることができる。 After injecting liquids 2 and 3 into the well 10a, the chemical reaction is initiated (see FIG. 1D). Light is emitted from the reaction solution 4, and the light passes through the transparent mineral oil 11 and reaches the detection unit 9a of the measuring instrument 9 (see FIG. 1 (e)). Light is detected by the detection unit 9a, and the emission intensity is measured. As the measuring instrument 9, a microplate reader, a microarray scanner, a luminometer, a CCD imager, or the like can be used.

反応液4から生じた発光は、透明な鉱油11を通過して検出部9aへ集められる。透明な鉱油11がない従来の方法においては、反応液からの発光が拡散してしまう(図2(b)参照)。一方、反応液4の液面に透明な鉱油11が存在している本発明においては(図2(a)参照)、透明な鉱油11が凸メニスカスレンズを形成している。ここで、マイクロプレート10は上記したように樹脂やガラスでできており、反応液4は水溶液である。そのため、反応液4がウェル10aの内壁を濡らし、反応液4の液面は下に凸のメニスカスとなる。その液面上にある透明な鉱油11も同様にウェル10aの内壁を濡らすため、下に凸のメニスカスを形成する。したがって、反応液4から生じた発光は凸メニスカスレンズ状の透明な鉱油11によって集光され、従来の方法と比較して発光の検出感度を高めることができる。凸メニスカスレンズによる効果を得るためには、透明な鉱油11の注入量は反応液4の体積の半分以下であることが好ましい。 The luminescence generated from the reaction solution 4 passes through the transparent mineral oil 11 and is collected in the detection unit 9a. In the conventional method without the transparent mineral oil 11, the light emission from the reaction solution is diffused (see FIG. 2B). On the other hand, in the present invention in which the transparent mineral oil 11 is present on the liquid surface of the reaction solution 4 (see FIG. 2A), the transparent mineral oil 11 forms a convex meniscus lens. Here, the microplate 10 is made of resin or glass as described above, and the reaction solution 4 is an aqueous solution. Therefore, the reaction solution 4 wets the inner wall of the well 10a, and the liquid surface of the reaction solution 4 becomes a downwardly convex meniscus. The transparent mineral oil 11 on the liquid surface also wets the inner wall of the well 10a, so that a downwardly convex meniscus is formed. Therefore, the luminescence generated from the reaction solution 4 is condensed by the transparent mineral oil 11 having a convex meniscus lens shape, and the luminescence detection sensitivity can be increased as compared with the conventional method. In order to obtain the effect of the convex meniscus lens, the injection amount of the transparent mineral oil 11 is preferably half or less of the volume of the reaction solution 4.

なお、透明な鉱油11があらかじめ注入されたウェル10a内に反応液4を注入し、直後に液体2、3とは異なる試料をさらに注入する形態であってもよい。この形態においても、透明な鉱油の凸メニスカスレンズ効果によって、発光の検出感度を高めることができる。 In addition, the reaction liquid 4 may be injected into the well 10a into which the transparent mineral oil 11 has been injected in advance, and immediately after that, a sample different from the liquids 2 and 3 may be further injected. Also in this form, the detection sensitivity of light emission can be increased by the convex meniscus lens effect of the transparent mineral oil.

反応容器1は、複数のウェル10aが形成されたマイクロプレート10と、ウェル10a内に注入された透明な鉱油11とを含んでなる(図3参照)。なお、ウェル10aは角穴であってもよい。 The reaction vessel 1 includes a microplate 10 on which a plurality of wells 10a are formed and a transparent mineral oil 11 injected into the wells 10a (see FIG. 3). The well 10a may be a square hole.

ウェル10a内には透明な鉱油11があらかじめ注入されている。したがって、反応容器1を保管する際は、透明な鉱油11がウェル10aから漏れないようにする必要がある。そのような例としては、たとえば、図4(a)〜(c)に示すような形態が挙げられる。図4(a)は、マイクロプレート10と同じ大きさの蓋材12を用いる形態である。蓋材12の材質は、たとえばマイクロプレート10と同じものにすることができる。四隅に突起を設けた蓋材12と、突起に対応した箇所に穴を形成したマイクロプレート10とを用いて蓋材12を固定することができる。また、蓋材12は粘着剤などでマイクロプレート10に密着させて固定することもできる。蓋材12を固定すると、ウェル10aから透明な鉱油11が漏れることを防止できる。なお、蓋材12はマイクロプレート10に固定しなくてもよい。蓋材12を固定しない場合は、反応容器を使用したい時にすぐ使用することができる。 The transparent mineral oil 11 is pre-injected into the well 10a. Therefore, when storing the reaction vessel 1, it is necessary to prevent the transparent mineral oil 11 from leaking from the well 10a. Examples of such an example include the forms shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c). FIG. 4A shows a form in which the lid material 12 having the same size as the microplate 10 is used. The material of the lid material 12 can be the same as that of the microplate 10, for example. The lid material 12 can be fixed by using the lid material 12 having protrusions at the four corners and the microplate 10 having holes formed at the portions corresponding to the protrusions. Further, the lid material 12 can be fixed by being brought into close contact with the microplate 10 with an adhesive or the like. When the lid material 12 is fixed, it is possible to prevent the transparent mineral oil 11 from leaking from the well 10a. The lid material 12 does not have to be fixed to the microplate 10. When the lid material 12 is not fixed, the reaction vessel can be used immediately when it is desired to be used.

図4(b)は、マイクロプレート10と同じ大きさのシール材13を用いる形態である。シール材13の材質は、たとえば樹脂フィルムなどを用いることができる。シール材13は、マイクロプレート10に粘着剤で密着させて固定する。蓋材12を固定すると、ウェル10aから透明な鉱油11が漏れることを防止できる。 FIG. 4B shows a form in which the sealing material 13 having the same size as the microplate 10 is used. As the material of the sealing material 13, for example, a resin film or the like can be used. The sealing material 13 is fixed to the microplate 10 with an adhesive. When the lid material 12 is fixed, it is possible to prevent the transparent mineral oil 11 from leaking from the well 10a.

図4(c)は、真空包装材14を用いてマイクロプレート10を密封する形態である。真空包装材14の材質は、たとえば、ガスバリア性を有する樹脂フィルムなどを用いることができる。透明な鉱油11をウェル10a内に注入したマイクロプレート10を真空包装材14で覆い、脱気シーラーなどを用いて密封する。このようにすると、図4(a)や(b)と比較してより確実に、ウェル10aから透明な鉱油11が漏れることを防止できる。なお、上記した蓋材12やシール材13を用いた上で、真空包装材14を用いて密封する形態も好ましい。このようにすると、さらに確実にウェル10aから透明な鉱油11が漏れることを防止できる。 FIG. 4C shows a form in which the microplate 10 is sealed using the vacuum packaging material 14. As the material of the vacuum packaging material 14, for example, a resin film having a gas barrier property can be used. The microplate 10 in which the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected into the well 10a is covered with the vacuum packaging material 14 and sealed with a degassing sealer or the like. By doing so, it is possible to more reliably prevent the transparent mineral oil 11 from leaking from the well 10a as compared with FIGS. 4A and 4B. It is also preferable to use the lid material 12 and the sealing material 13 described above and then seal them with the vacuum packaging material 14. By doing so, it is possible to more reliably prevent the transparent mineral oil 11 from leaking from the well 10a.

<第2実施形態>
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。本発明の測定方法は、複数のウェル10aが形成されたマイクロプレート10と、ウェル10a内に注入された透明な鉱油11とを含んでなる反応容器1のウェル10a内に少なくとも1種の液体5を注入し、液体5に励起光を照射して液体5から蛍光を生じさせ、透明な鉱油11を通過した蛍光を検出し、蛍光の強度を測定することを特徴とするものである(図5参照)。
<Second Embodiment>
Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the measuring method of the present invention, at least one liquid 5 is contained in the well 10a of the reaction vessel 1 including the microplate 10 in which the plurality of wells 10a are formed and the transparent mineral oil 11 injected into the wells 10a. Is injected, the liquid 5 is irradiated with excitation light to generate fluorescence from the liquid 5, the fluorescence that has passed through the transparent mineral oil 11 is detected, and the intensity of the fluorescence is measured (FIG. 5). reference).

第2実施形態は、ウェル内に注入する液体が少なくとも1種であり、液体に励起光を照射して液体から蛍光を生じさせる点において、第1実施形態とは異なる。以下、第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。 The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that at least one liquid is injected into the well, and the liquid is irradiated with excitation light to generate fluorescence from the liquid. Hereinafter, the points different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

まず、マイクロプレート10のウェル10a内にあらかじめ透明な鉱油11を注入した反応容器1を準備する(図5(a))。この反応容器1に、たとえばディスペンサ8を用いて液体5を注入する(図5(b)参照)。液体5は、励起光を照射して蛍光を発するものであれば、特に制限されない。蛍光物質としては、たとえば、フルオレセイン、Cy3、Cy5などの蛍光色素、GFP(Green Fluorescent Protein;緑色蛍光タンパク質)をはじめとする蛍光タンパク質、およびこれらが標識された蛍光標識抗体などを用いることができる。なお、液体5とは異なる種類の液体を複数注入してもよい。 First, a reaction vessel 1 in which the transparent mineral oil 11 is previously injected into the well 10a of the microplate 10 is prepared (FIG. 5A). Liquid 5 is injected into the reaction vessel 1 using, for example, a dispenser 8 (see FIG. 5B). The liquid 5 is not particularly limited as long as it irradiates excitation light to emit fluorescence. As the fluorescent substance, for example, fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein, Cy3, and Cy5, fluorescent proteins such as GFP (Green Fluorescein Protein), and fluorescently labeled antibodies labeled with these can be used. A plurality of liquids of a type different from that of the liquid 5 may be injected.

次に、励起光を反応容器の上方から液体5に向けて照射する(図5(c)参照)。励起光としては、たとえば紫外線、可視光線、X線、赤外線などを用いることができ、ウェル10a内に注入する蛍光物質によって励起光の種類を変えてもよい。なお、励起光の照射は反応容器の下方から液体5に向けて照射してもよい。 Next, the excitation light is irradiated from above the reaction vessel toward the liquid 5 (see FIG. 5C). As the excitation light, for example, ultraviolet rays, visible rays, X-rays, infrared rays and the like can be used, and the type of excitation light may be changed depending on the fluorescent substance injected into the well 10a. The excitation light may be irradiated from below the reaction vessel toward the liquid 5.

液体5に励起光を照射した後、液体5から蛍光が発生する(図5(d)参照)。その蛍光が透明な鉱油11を通過して、測定器9の検出部9aに届く(図5(e)参照)。検出部9aで蛍光を検出し、蛍光強度を測定する。測定器9としては、マイクロプレートリーダ、マイクロアレイスキャナ、CCDイメージャー、蛍光顕微鏡、共焦点顕微鏡などを用いることができる。 After irradiating the liquid 5 with excitation light, fluorescence is generated from the liquid 5 (see FIG. 5D). The fluorescence passes through the transparent mineral oil 11 and reaches the detection unit 9a of the measuring instrument 9 (see FIG. 5E). Fluorescence is detected by the detection unit 9a, and the fluorescence intensity is measured. As the measuring instrument 9, a microplate reader, a microarray scanner, a CCD imager, a fluorescence microscope, a confocal microscope, or the like can be used.

液体5から生じた蛍光の検出感度を高めることができる理由および透明な鉱油11の好ましい注入量については、第1実施形態と同様である。 The reason why the detection sensitivity of the fluorescence generated from the liquid 5 can be increased and the preferable injection amount of the transparent mineral oil 11 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

<第3実施形態>
次に、本発明の第3実施形態について説明する。本発明の測定方法は、複数のウェル10aが形成されたマイクロプレート10のウェル10a内に少なくとも2種の液体2、3を注入して反応させ、反応直後に透明な鉱油11を注入し、反応液4から生じ透明な鉱油11を通過した発光を検出し、発光の強度を測定することを特徴とするものである(図6参照)。
<Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the measuring method of the present invention, at least two kinds of liquids 2 and 3 are injected into the wells 10a of the microplate 10 in which a plurality of wells 10a are formed to react, and immediately after the reaction, transparent mineral oil 11 is injected to react. It is characterized in that the light emission generated from the liquid 4 and passed through the transparent mineral oil 11 is detected and the intensity of the light emission is measured (see FIG. 6).

第3実施形態は、ウェル内にまず液体2、3を注入してから透明な鉱油を注入する点において、第1実施形態とは異なる。以下、第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。 The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that liquids 2 and 3 are first injected into the well and then transparent mineral oil is injected. Hereinafter, the points different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

まず、マイクロプレート10のウェル10a内にディスペンサ8などを用いて液体2を注入する(図6(a)参照)。次いで液体3を注入する(図6(b)参照)。液体3を注入すると化学反応が始まり、発光が生じる。反応直後に、ディスペンサ8などを用いて透明な鉱油11を注入する(図6(c)参照)。反応液4から生じた発光は、透明な鉱油11を通過して測定器9の検出部9aに届く(図6(d)参照)。 First, the liquid 2 is injected into the well 10a of the microplate 10 using a dispenser 8 or the like (see FIG. 6A). The liquid 3 is then injected (see FIG. 6B). When the liquid 3 is injected, a chemical reaction starts and light emission occurs. Immediately after the reaction, the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected using a dispenser 8 or the like (see FIG. 6C). The luminescence generated from the reaction solution 4 passes through the transparent mineral oil 11 and reaches the detection unit 9a of the measuring instrument 9 (see FIG. 6D).

液体2と液体3との化学反応が始まるとすぐに発光が生じるため、透明な鉱油11はできるだけ早く注入することが好ましい。たとえば、液体3を注入するディスペンサと透明な鉱油11を注入するディスペンサとを用意し、液体3を注入するディスペンサが移動すると、透明な鉱油11を注入するディスペンサがそれを追跡する形態とすることができる。なお、始めに液体2を注入し、その後、透明な鉱油11、液体3を順番に注入する形態であってもよい。また、始めに液体2を注入し、透明な鉱油11と液体3を同時に注入する形態であってもよい。
このようにすると、反応直後もしくは反応とほぼ同時に透明な鉱油11を注入することになるため、反応液から生じた発光を凸メニスカスレンズ効果により効率よく集光できる(図2(a)参照)。
Since light emission occurs as soon as the chemical reaction between the liquid 2 and the liquid 3 starts, it is preferable to inject the transparent mineral oil 11 as soon as possible. For example, a dispenser for injecting liquid 3 and a dispenser for injecting transparent mineral oil 11 may be prepared, and when the dispenser for injecting liquid 3 moves, the dispenser for injecting transparent mineral oil 11 may track it. it can. In addition, the liquid 2 may be injected first, and then the transparent mineral oil 11 and the liquid 3 may be injected in this order. Further, the liquid 2 may be injected first, and the transparent mineral oil 11 and the liquid 3 may be injected at the same time.
In this way, since the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected immediately after the reaction or almost at the same time as the reaction, the luminescence generated from the reaction solution can be efficiently focused by the convex meniscus lens effect (see FIG. 2A).

<第4実施形態>
次に、本発明の第4実施形態について説明する。本発明の測定方法は、複数のウェルが形成されたマイクロプレートのウェル内に、少なくとも1種の液体と透明な鉱油を注入し、液体に励起光を照射して液体から蛍光を生じさせ、透明な鉱油を通過した蛍光を検出し、蛍光の強度を測定することを特徴とするものである(図7参照)。
<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the measuring method of the present invention, at least one liquid and transparent mineral oil are injected into the wells of a microplate in which a plurality of wells are formed, and the liquid is irradiated with excitation light to cause fluorescence from the liquid to be transparent. It is characterized in that fluorescence that has passed through various mineral oils is detected and the intensity of fluorescence is measured (see FIG. 7).

第4実施形態は、ウェル10a内にまず液体5を注入し、その後に透明な鉱油11を注入し、液体5に励起光を照射する点において、第2実施形態とは異なる。以下、第2実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。 The fourth embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the liquid 5 is first injected into the well 10a, then the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected, and the liquid 5 is irradiated with excitation light. Hereinafter, the points different from the second embodiment will be mainly described.

ウェル10a内に、たとえばディスペンサ8を用いて液体5を注入する(図7(a)参照)。その後、ディスペンサ8などを用いて透明な鉱油11を注入する(図7(b)参照)。励起光を照射する(図7(c)参照)。励起光を照射すると化学反応が始まり、液体5から蛍光が発生する。生じた蛍光は、透明な鉱油11を通過して測定器9の検出部9aに届く(図7(d)参照)。液体5に励起光を照射して化学反応が始まるとすぐに蛍光が生じ、蛍光が発生している時間はきわめて短い(たとえばナノ秒単位)ため、測定器9は蛍光強度の測定と励起光の照射とが可能なものが好ましい。第4実施形態においても、透明な鉱油の凸メニスカスレンズ効果によって、蛍光の検出感度を高めることができる。 Liquid 5 is injected into the well 10a using, for example, a dispenser 8 (see FIG. 7A). Then, the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected using a dispenser 8 or the like (see FIG. 7B). Irradiate with excitation light (see FIG. 7 (c)). When irradiated with excitation light, a chemical reaction begins and fluorescence is generated from the liquid 5. The generated fluorescence passes through the transparent mineral oil 11 and reaches the detection unit 9a of the measuring instrument 9 (see FIG. 7D). As soon as the liquid 5 is irradiated with the excitation light and the chemical reaction starts, fluorescence is generated, and the time during which the fluorescence is generated is extremely short (for example, in nanosecond units). Therefore, the measuring instrument 9 measures the fluorescence intensity and the excitation light. Those capable of irradiation are preferable. Also in the fourth embodiment, the fluorescence detection sensitivity can be increased by the convex meniscus lens effect of the transparent mineral oil.

上記では液体5を先に注入し、その後に透明な鉱油11を注入しているが、液体5と透明な鉱油11は同時に注入してもよい。透明な鉱油11は液体5よりも比重が小さいため、同時に注入しても、所定の時間が経過すれば透明な鉱油11と液体5は二層に分かれ、透明な鉱油11が液体5に対して上の層となる。したがって、反応液から生じた蛍光を凸メニスカスレンズ効果により効率よく集光できる(図2(a)参照)。 In the above, the liquid 5 is injected first, and then the transparent mineral oil 11 is injected, but the liquid 5 and the transparent mineral oil 11 may be injected at the same time. Since the transparent mineral oil 11 has a smaller specific gravity than the liquid 5, even if it is injected at the same time, the transparent mineral oil 11 and the liquid 5 are separated into two layers after a lapse of a predetermined time, and the transparent mineral oil 11 is relative to the liquid 5. It becomes the upper layer. Therefore, the fluorescence generated from the reaction solution can be efficiently focused by the convex meniscus lens effect (see FIG. 2A).
