Quantification of CRP in human serum using a handheld fluorescence detection system for capillary-based ELISA.

We developed a handheld fluorescence detection system for capillary-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The detection system implements both a long-pass filter and perpendicular optical arrangement, i.e.

Development of an on-chip sample injection system with a 6-port valve incorporated in a microchip.

Micro-flow-injection analysis (μFIA) is amenable to high-throughput systems with lower consumption of sample and reagent volumes. On-chip sample injection methods are important to prevent reduced analytical performance associated with dead volumes and diffusion of sample solutions. In this study, we have developed an on-chip sample injection system with a small-sized 6-port valve incorporated on a microchip.

[Factors related to support provided by preschool personnel for parents rearing children with special needs: Focus on communicating about the child's developmental problems].

Objectives　Developmental disorders can hinder the acquisition of cognitive function, verbal ability, gross motor skills, and social skills. Therefore, it is necessary to detect them as soon as possible and to consider methods of providing support. Under these circumstances, preschool teachers are responsible for facilitating the support system.
