A wrist securing device (10A) for a pulse wave measuring apparatus includes a securing base main body (11) mounted on a mount surface, and a holding portion (20A) provided in an upper portion of the securing base main body (11) and receiving a wrist with a palm side portion of the wrist facing upward. The holding portion (20A) has a support surface (21) receiving the wrist in an inclined position so that an end portion on a radial side of the wrist is located above an end portion on an ulnar side thereof while the wrist rests on the holding portion. With such a structure, a wrist securing device for a pulse wave measuring apparatus capable of holding a wrist position while a subject maintains a natural posture can be implemented.

An air bag (150) being inflated and deflated as air comes in and out is included. The air bag (150) is formed of a flexible sheet material. The air bag (150) has at least an inner circumferential sheet (162) positioned inside when a blood pressure monitor cuff is wrapped around a living body, and an outer circumferential sheet (161) positioned on the outer circumferential side of the inner circumferential sheet (162). The sheet material forming the air bag (150) has a thickness of 0.15 mm or less. Therefore, big deep wrinkles appearing on the inner surface of the fluid bag fitted on a living body can be reduced, which may otherwise give an adverse effect on blood pressure measurement.

It is intended to provide a reagent and an assay method whereby an antigen can be conveniently and accurately assayed without resorting to any special antibody. Using two or more carriers having different particle sizes, a carrier having a smaller particle size is sensitized with at least one monoclonal antibody, which is selected from among three monoclonal antibodies being reactive with both of a free antigen and a complex antigen and having different recognition sites from each other, while a carrier having a larger particle size is sensitized with the remainder monoclonal antibodies, thereby providing an assay reagent and an assay method whereby the reactivities of a free antigen and a complex antigen can be controlled.

A sphygmomanometer is separated into a cuff (20A) including an air bag, and a body provided with an expansion / contraction mechanism for expanding / contracting the air bag, wherein the cuff (20A) includes a tubular cuff body portion (30) into which an upper arm can be inserted, and a grip portion (40) provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cuff body portion (30). The cuff body portion(30) has fastening belts (31, 32) wound around the outside of the air bag, and a fastening length adjustment mechanism (50) which adjusts the fastening length of the fastening belts (31, 32) for the upper arm. The fastening length adjustment mechanism (50) includes a winding roller (58) which can wind and feed the fastening belts (31, 32), a geared motor (51) for rotary driving the winding roller(58), and an electromagnetic brake (52) for applying a braking force to the winding roller (58). With such an arrangement, a cuff can be attached easily to a part being measured in a sphygmomanometerwhere a cuff and a body are separated, and reliable winding of a cuff for a part being measured is reproduced every time when blood pressure is measured.

The object is to construct, at a high reproducibility, a complex composed of a labeled probe and a carrier, said complex being to be used for detecting and measuring a target substance to be measured at a high sensitivity and high stability. In constructing a complex composed of an avidinized probe and a water-soluble carrier, a label is bound to a probe-water-soluble carrier using specific binding of avidin or an analog thereof such as streptoavidin to biotin and the binding of the avidin or an analog thereof to the probe is performed before the binding to the carrier. Namely, a complex of an avidinized probe and a water-soluble carrier is constructed by binding avidin or an analog thereof to a substance, which is capable of binding to the target substance, and then binding the bound product thus obtained to a high-molecule water-soluble carrier. Next, the complex of the avidinized probe and the water-soluble carrier is mixed with a biotinylated label. Thus, a stable complex of the labeled probe and the water-soluble carrier, which enables the highly sensitive detection and measurement of the target substance, can be obtained, via the specific binding of avidin or an analog thereof to biotin, at a high reproducibility.

A liquid density in a liquid supply tube, through which the liquid is supplied, is stably measured from the outside of the liquid supply tube. A liquid densitometer is provided with a liquid supply tube (14, 16) through which a liquid is supplied, a light transmission unit (15) set at a halfway point of the liquid supply tube (14, 16), a light projection unit (9, 22) that irradiates measurement light to the light transmission unit (15), a light reception unit (10, 23) that receives the measurement light to transmit through the light transmission unit (15), a support member (31) that supports movably the light projection unit (9, 22) and the light reception unit (10, 23) so as to move a measurement position (32) from which the light is irradiated to the light transmission unit (15) and at which the light reception unit (10, 23); receives the light transmitting through the light transmission unit (15), a measurement position moving mechanism (2) that makes the support member (31) move in order for the measurement position (32) to move in a predetermined area of the light transmission unit (15), and a data processing unit that acquires light intensity data which the light reception unit (10, 23) receives at a plurality of measurement positions (32) to calculate a density of the liquid, which flows through the liquid supply tube (14, 16), in accordance with the plurality of the light receiving intensities.
