DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING MICRO BIOLOGICAL TISSUE PIECE, AND SCREENING METHOD FOR CHEMICAL COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which allows a large number of micro biological tissue pieces to be quickly prepared without changing characteristics of tissues of biological origin, and a high-speed screening method.SOLUTION: A micro biological tissue piece preparation device 100 includes: a plurality of microchips 1 with a mounting surface for a micro biological tissue piece; a supporting device 2 on which the plurality of microchips are placed at predetermined intervals, and possesses a holding mechanism for the plurality of microchips; and an operating device 3. A screening method for chemical compounds specifically bound to biological tissues comprises at least the steps of: preparing the micro biological tissue piece with the preparation device; bringing the micro biological tissue piece into contact with one or more candidate compounds; and analyzing specific binding of the candidate compounds to the micro biological tissue piece.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
