Abstract

In producing a biochemical analysis unit ( 1 ), an adhesive agent ( 25 ) is applied to a base. After calcinations, the adhesive agent ( 25 ) forms an adhesive layer ( 25 a, 25 b ) on a wall of each holes ( 3 ) formed in the base ( 2 ). Thereafter, an excess adhesive agent ( 25 c ) remaining on the surface of the base ( 2 ) is removed. Then, a sheet of an absorptive material ( 4 ) is set to overlap the base ( 2 ). A press roller pair ( 27, 28 ) presses them to charge the absorptive material ( 4 ) in the holes ( 3 ). Thus the absorptive material ( 4 ) is fixed in the hole ( 3 ) of the base ( 2 ) through the adhesive layer ( 25 a, 25 b ).

Claims (16)

1. A method for producing a biochemical analysis unit ( 1 ), comprising steps of:

forming an adhesive layer ( 25 a , 25 b ) on a wall of each hole formed in a base ( 2 ), said base ( 2 ) being sheet-like shaped;

overlapping an absorptive material ( 4 ) with a surface of said base ( 2 );

pressing said absorptive material ( 4 ) to said base ( 2 ) with press member ( 27 , 28 ) so as to charge part of said absorptive material ( 4 ) in said holes ( 3 ) and to adhere said absorptive material ( 4 ) to said wall of said hole ( 3 ) through said adhesive layer ( 25 a , 25 b ).

2. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said press members ( 27 , 28 ) are a press roller pair ( 27 , 28 ), a first roller ( 27 ) of said press roller pair ( 27 , 28 ) that contacts to said base is heated, and a temperature of said first roller ( 27 ) being higher than a glass transition temperature of said adhesive agent ( 25 ).

3. A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said temperature of said first roller ( 27 ) is lower that all of said adhesive layer, said absorptive material and said base.

4. A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said temperature of said first roller ( 27 ) is adjusted.

5. A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said glass transition temperature is −20° C. to 50° C.

6. A method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said base ( 2 ) is formed of at least one of metal materials, ceramic materials and plastic materials.

7. A method as claimed in claim 2 , a step for forming said adhesive layer ( 25 a , 25 b ) comprising steps of:

applying an adhesive agent ( 25 ) on said base ( 2 ); and

carrying out calcinations of said adhesive agent ( 25 ) on said base ( 2 ).

8. A method as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a step of carrying out processing a surface of said base ( 2 ) in a corona discharging method, a corona discharging method, or a cathode oxidization method before the step of forming said adhesive layer ( 25 a , 25 b ), in order to form said adhesive layer ( 25 a , 25 b ) certainly.

9. A method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said adhesive agent ( 25 ) is styrene butadiene rubber or acrylonitrile butadiene rubber.

10. A method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a step of blowing away, sucking away, or wiping out with a cloth an excess adhesive agent ( 25 c ) remaining on said surface of said base ( 2 ) before carrying out the calcinations.

11. A method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a step of making laser ablation, punching, or heating after carrying out the calcinations, said laser ablation and said punching removing an excess adhesive agent in said holes ( 3 ), and said heating melting said excess adhesive agent in said holes ( 3 ).
