US 2011/0079552 A1 · SEPARATOR AND SEPARATOR CARTRIDGE

Abstract

A separator includes: a channel having a first surface; a plurality of columnar members formed on the first surface and having a cross section in the shape of a crescent, the plurality of columnar members being arranged in a row direction along a longitudinal direction of the channel, and in a column direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the channel, the columnar members that belong to the same row from among the plurality of columnar members being disposed so that the crescents face the same direction in the column direction, the columnar members that belong to a single row being disposed so that the crescents face the opposite direction in the column direction with respect to the crescents of the columnar members that belong to the adjacent row; and a substance that specifically binds to a separation target, and is disposed on side surfaces of the plurality of columnar members.

A separator for separating a separation target from a separation target liquid,

the separator comprising a channel through which the separation target liquid is flown,
wherein the channel includes:
a first columnar member having a cross section in the shape of a crescent, and side surfaces on which a substance that specifically binds to the separation target is disposed;
a second columnar member having a cross section in the shape of a crescent, and that belongs to the same position as the first columnar member with respect to a first direction along a longitudinal direction of the channel, and to a position adjacent to the first columnar member with respect to a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the crescent of the second columnar member faces the same direction as the crescent of the first columnar member in the second direction, and wherein the substance is disposed on side surfaces of the second columnar member;
and
a third columnar member having a cross section in the shape of a crescent, and that belongs to a position adjacent to the first columnar member with respect to the first direction, wherein the crescent of the third columnar member faces the opposite direction in the second direction with respect to the crescent of the first columnar member, and wherein the substance is disposed on side surfaces of the third columnar member.
