Device for Determining Distribution of Glycation of Erythrocytic Membranes

Abstract

A device for determining the distribution of glycation of erythrocytic membranes includes a container as a cell for electromagnetic-phoresis, a cathode ray and an anode ray which are connected to a direct current power supply, and a magnetic sheet which is placed outside the bottom of the container. The container has an upper surface containing a cathode hole, an anode hole, a filling hole midway between the cathode hole and the anode hole for a specimen, and an excretory hole for releasing air bubbles. After physiological saline is poured into the container, the cathode ray and the anode ray are respectively inserted into the holes to be soaked in the saline. Subsequently, a specimen of erythrocytes, which are bonded with the boric acid-magnetic beads, is infused into the container through the filling hole.

1 . A device for determining a distribution of glycation of erythrocytic membranes, wherein the erythrocytes are bonded with boric acid-magnetic beads, the device comprising: 
 a container to receive a physiological saline solution;    a cathode ray and an anode ray, each connected to a direct current power supply; and    a magnetic sheet placed outside of a bottom of the container;    wherein the container comprises an upper surface having a cathode hole and an anode hole separated by a certain space, a filling hole midway between the cathode hole and the anode hole for a specimen, and an excretory hole for releasing air bubbles; and    wherein the cathode ray and the anode ray are inserted into the container through the cathode hole and the anode hole respectively for soaking in the saline solution.    
   
   
       2 . The device for determining a distribution of glycation of erythrocytic membranes according to  claim 1 , further comprising a polytetrafluoroethylene sheet covering a lower inside of the container, wherein the sheet prevents nonspecific bonding interaction between the erythrocytes and materials of the container.
