マイクロ流路を用いた感熱性ゲルによる微小物体固定の研究

抄録

We propose a method for fixing microorganisms using heat-sensitive gels. The purpose of this study is to selectively control the gelation range since the heat-sensitive gel hardens over a wide range in the previous study. First, we considered changing the arrangement of nichrome wires. Then, we used nichrome wires with smaller wire diameters. Then, the use of hysteresis characteristics was considered to take less time to gel and to maintain a certain gelation range. Finally, we succeeded in controlling the gelation range of the thermal gel.
