The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple measurement tool which can rapidly measure various chemical substances contained in environments or from inside a living body by a simple or inexpensive means/method.
The present inventions relate to, for example, a simple measurement tool for test substances comprising:
at least two reaction regions, each composed of a water-based liquid, the reaction regions being independent of each other;
boundary region (s) composed of a gel-type substance that is not or hardly soluble in the water-based liquid;
a container holding the reaction regions and the boundary region(s); and
magnetic particles carrying a reactive substance immobilized on a surface thereof,
in which:
the reaction regions are separated from each other via the boundary region(s); and
by using external magnetic field-applying means, the magnetic particles can be substantially exclusively transferred from one reaction region to another reaction region through the boundary region separating these reaction regions, while independence of the respective reaction regions and the respective boundary regions and a function of the magnetic particles being maintained.
本发明的目的是提供一种简单的测量工具,它可以通过简单或廉价的手段/方法快速测量环境中所含的或来自活体内部的各种
化学物质。
例如,本发明涉及一种测试物质的简单测量工具,它包括
至少两个反应区,每个反应区由
水基液体组成,各反应区相互独立;
由不溶于或难溶于
水基液体的凝胶状物质组成的边界区域;
容纳反应区和边界区的容器;以及
磁性颗粒,其表面固定有活性物质、
其中
反应区通过边界区域彼此分开;以及
通过使用外部磁场施加装置,磁性颗粒可以通过分隔这些反应区的边界区域从一个反应区转移到另一个反应区,同时保持各自反应区和各自边界区域的独立性以及磁性颗粒的功能。
