Title:
METHOD FOR FORMING LIPID BILAYER MEMBRANE AND INSTRUMENT FOR THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019022872
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for forming a lipid bilayer membrane, the method allowing for direct contact of aqueous medium with a gas composition in atmosphere with a lipid bilayer membrane formed, and achieving electrical insulation of both sections partitioned by the lipid bilayer membrane while the direct contact is allowed, and to provide an instrument for the method for forming a lipid bilayer membrane.SOLUTION: The method for forming a lipid bilayer membrane includes: a step of adding lipid solution in which lipid membrane-forming lipid is dissolved into organic solvent to a through-hole of a partition wall having the through-hole, thereby forming a membrane of lipid solution covering the through-hole; and a step of immersing an obtained partition wall into aqueous medium, thereby forming a lipid bilayer membrane in the lipid solution covering the through-hole. The aqueous medium is housed in a chamber, the chamber is separated into a first section and a second section in an insulated manner by immersing the partition wall into the aqueous medium, and the aqueous medium housed in at least either one of the first section and the second section directly contacts outside air.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
