Estimating the term…
A noncontact stirring method, a noncontact stirring apparatus, a method and apparatus for reacting nucleic acid hybridization using the apparatus, a method for detecting nucleic acid in a sample, an apparatus for detecting nucleic acid, a method for detecting antibodies in a sample, and an apparatus for detecting antibodies in minute droplets 1 μmL or less in an electric field are proposed that can be utilized to speed up biodetection processes, hybridization processes in DNA analysis, ELISA antigen fixing processes, blocking processes, antibody-antigen reaction processes and color reaction processes; and pathogen identification, CRP tests, methods of propagating cells or bacilli such as colon bacilli in a liquid culture medium, and chemical analyses.
A noncontact stirring method comprising repetitively generating square waves with a plus-side bias having a plus-side main applied voltage of 0.35 to 2.5 kV/mm under a humidity environment of 60±10% by adding an offset voltage of 0.2 to 2.2 kV/mm, applying 2 to 40 frequency bundles of frequency 0.1 to 800 Hz, and applying noncontactively varied electric field waves of a high-voltage alternating-current electric field to minute droplets of 1 mL or less of a liquid solution.
