SAMPLE SEPARATOR AND SAMPLE SEPARATION/ADSORPTION DEVICE
A sample separator ( 1 ) comprising an accommodation part ( 10 ) that accommodates a separation medium for electrophoresis, and a support ( 20 ) formed from a porous material. The accommodation part ( 10 ) includes an internal space ( 10 c ) filled with the separation medium, and is provided with a supply port ( 10 a ) and discharge port ( 10 b ) that are in communication with the internal space ( 10 c ). The support ( 20 ) is provided so as to block the discharge port ( 10 b ).
1 . A sample separator, comprising:
an accommodation part capable of accommodating a separation medium for electrophoresis; and
a support body with a porous material as a formation material thereof,
wherein the accommodation part has an internal space capable of being filled with the separation medium, and is provided with a supply port and discharge port that are in communication with the internal space, and
wherein the support body is provided to block the discharge port.
2 . The sample separator according to claim 1 , wherein the support body projects from the discharge port.
3 . The sample separator according to claim 1 , further comprising a retaining member that retains the support body at the discharge port.
4 . The sample separator according to claim 1 , further comprising a separation medium filled into the internal space, wherein the separation medium is formed integrally with the support body.
5 . The sample separator according to claim 1 , wherein the separation medium is a polyacrylamide gel.
6 . A sample separation/adsorption device, comprising:
a first buffer solution tank capable of storing a first buffer solution;
a second buffer solution tank capable of storing a second buffer solution;
a first electrode disposed in the first buffer solution tank;
a second electrode disposed in the second buffer solution tank;
a sample separator according to claim 1 that is disposed in the first buffer solution tank; and
a transcriptional body that transfers a sample,
wherein the sample separator has the supply port that opens inside of the first buffer solution tank, and the discharge port positioned inside of the second buffer solution tank,
wherein the support body possessed by the sample separator contacts one face of the transcriptional body, and
wherein the second electrode contacts another face of the transcriptional body.
7 . The sample separation/adsorption device according to claim 6 , wherein the transcriptional body is provided to be movable relative to the support body.
