Patent ID: 8449748

Claim:
A sample separation/adsorption appliance, comprising: a first buffer solution tank equipped with a first electrode and used for holding a first buffer solution; a second buffer solution tank equipped with a second electrode and used for holding a second buffer solution; a sample separation section that holds a sample separation medium for separating a sample; and a conductive section that holds a conductive medium, wherein: a sample adsorption member for adsorbing the sample is installed at a position between the sample separation medium and the conductive medium; when the sample adsorption member is installed at the position, the sample separation medium and the conductive medium come into contact with the sample adsorption member; an end of the sample separation medium opposite to an end being in contact with the sample adsorption member is connected to an inside of the first buffer solution tank; an end of the conductive medium opposite to an end being in contact with the sample adsorption member is connected to an inside of the second buffer solution tank; the sample separation/adsorption appliance further comprising a pressing means that presses at least one of the sample separation medium and the conductive medium against the same adsorption member; and at the end of the conductive section being in contact with the sample adsorption member, the conductive section is tapered.
