<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe type device, manufactured simply and inexpensively, softly holding a cell or the like, and easily releasing it after the operation. <P>SOLUTION: In this device, a pipette 1, a wire 2 disposed up to the tip in the interior of the pipette and the outer periphery of the pipette are covered with a thin film 3 of a conductor, and voltage is applied between the wire and the thin film of the conductor to thereby generate Joule heat at the tip of the probe type device. The probe type device is inserted in a heat-sensitive responsive polymer solution, thereby causing sol-gel phase change of the heat-sensitive responsive polymer solution at the tip of the probe type device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
