Title:
BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE TREATMENT METHOD, REACTION DETECTION METHOD, BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE TREATMENT APPARATUS, AND REACTION DETECTION APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/085132
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This biological substance treatment method involves preparing a flow cell 1 comprising: a chamber array device 11 provided with a plurality of chambers 14 in which one of the chambers is 1 nanoliter or less; and a cover body 21 defining a flow path 40 that is provided so as to be in communication with an opening of the chamber 14 and shared by the plurality of chambers 14. Next, prepared are DEX and PEG, which are both water-soluble and phase-separate when left to stand at room temperature. The property of DEX is that DEX phase-separates into the chamber 14 and organic substances are preferentially distributed to DEX more than PEG. Then, the organic substances are mixed in PEG. DEX is allowed to flow in the flow path 40 so that DEX is filled in the chamber 14 and in the flow path 40. Next, PEG is allowed to flow in the flow path 40, and as a result, DEX, which is remaining there, is pushed out and DEX and PEG come into contact with each other. Consequently, the organic substances are concentrated in DEX in the chamber 14.
