It occurs uniformly with respect to the liquid pool.
- the initiator must not be a reagent that becomes spontaneously active. For example, conventionally used APS and TEMED are immediately activated in a solution state, which is not preferable as an initiator according to the present embodiment.

- a continuous ink jet for example, a charge control method for controlling charged micro droplets with an electric field can be mentioned
- the drop-on-demand ink jet for example, a thermal (bubble) method, an electrostatic actuator method or a piezo method can be mentioned.
- the inkjet head 4 when forming a pH gradient (IPG) gel, the inkjet head 4 is used to discharge a low pH acrylamide mixed solution and a high pH acrylamide mixed solution while changing the mixing ratio. A fine pH gradient can be formed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration of electrophoretic characteristics that occurs when there is no liquid pool.

- the gel-forming monomer is diffused in the gel solution 6 for a desired time, and a preferable pH gradient or concentration gradient is formed. After that, gel formation can be performed.
- the polymerization initiation step is preferably performed, for example, in an inert gas such as argon or a nitrogen atmosphere. That is, after forming a concentration gradient, pH gradient, etc., the gel polymerization reaction is performed in an inert gas such as argon or a nitrogen atmosphere to discharge oxygen that becomes an inhibitor of the gelation reaction from the reactor. Is desirable.
- the electrophoresis reaction instrument of this embodiment is a gel solution 6. Is stored directly on the base material 1, so that most of the surface of the gel solution 6 is exposed to the atmosphere and easily affected by oxygen. Therefore, it is desirable to make the inside of the reactor an inert gas or nitrogen atmosphere.
- the gel formation is performed at a place different from the gradient forming of the gel forming solution. This is possible and has a great effect in terms of simplification of the apparatus and improvement of production efficiency. Further, it is possible to completely prevent a problem that the gel is unnecessarily gelled in the gel preparation jig or the gel preparation apparatus.
- each solution for gel formation is discharged to the gel forming region 2 formed at an arbitrary position on the substrate 1.

- the end face of the base material 1 A gel can be formed at any location.
- the discharge amount of the gel forming solution discharged by the inkjet head is about 1 ⁇ L (20 to 40 pL / droplet), and the number of scans increases to increase the film thickness. For this reason, the previously discharged gel solution may be gelled before all the gel solution is discharged, and it is difficult to form a high-quality gel.
- the gel formation can be controlled by previously diffusing the polymerization initiator into the liquid reservoir and activating it at a desired timing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a malfunction of the apparatus such as the gelation reaction unnecessarily progressing and clogging of the pipe, and a homogeneous gel can be produced.

勾配形成工程では、第一溶液3に対して、ゲル形性モノマーを含有する第二溶液5を添加して、pH勾配またはゲル形性モノマーの濃度勾配が形成されたゲル溶液6を調製する。ゲル形性モノマーとは、重合して電気泳動用ゲル7となるモノマーであり、第二溶液5としては、例えば、ゲルの主骨格を形成するアクリルアミドと、ゲルの主骨格を架橋するN,N’-メチレンビスアクリルアミドとを混合したアクリルアミド混合溶液、上記アクリルアミド混合溶液とアクリルアミド誘導体(イモビラインとして、商業的に購入することもできる)との混合溶液、所望の組成に調整されたアガロース混合溶液等を用いることができる。
続いて、ゲル溶液6に対して、重合反応を開始させる。重合反応を開始させるためには、光、電気、磁気、熱といった、第一溶液3に含有される開始剤に対応する外部エネルギーを用いる。例えば、第一溶液3に、光重合開始剤の一つであるリボフラビンを含有させた場合、ゲル溶液6に光(紫外線)を照射する。また、第一溶液3に、熱重合開始剤の一つである過酸化ゼンゾイルを含有させた場合、ゲル溶液6を加熱する。これにより、ゲル溶液6がゲル化して電気泳動用ゲル7となり、例えば、70ミリメートル×1.2ミリメートルの面積を有するゲル形成領域2に対して、総量140マイクロリットルのゲル溶液6を調製した場合、0.5~1.0ミリメートルの電気泳動用ゲル7が形成された電気泳動用反応器具が得られる。なお、電気泳動用ゲル7の厚さは特に限定されず、例えば、数百ミリメートルから数ミリメートル程度とすることができる。形成されるゲルの厚さがこの範囲であれば、電気泳動実験に最適に用いることができる。
一つの局面において、本実施形態に係る電気泳動用ゲルの作製方法は、図4に示す製造装置100が実行するものであり得る。
ここで、本実施形態の一例について図2を参照して説明する。図2は、二次元電気泳動法における一次元目ゲル(固定化pH勾配ゲル、IPGゲル)を製造する例について説明した図である。
続いて、本実施形態の他の例について図3を参照して説明する。図3は、二次元電気泳動法における二次元目ゲル(SDS-PAGEゲル、グラジエントゲル)を製造する例について説明した図である。
〔第2実施形態〕
<電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法>
本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法は、ゲルを形成するためのモノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料を基材上に塗布する塗布工程と、上記基材上に塗布された上記混合材料の所望の領域に外部エネルギーを照射して、外部エネルギーが照射された領域の上記モノマーをゲル化するゲル化工程と、上記ゲル化工程後の上記混合材料を現像し、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域の上記混合材料を除去する除去工程とを包含する。
図5中の(d)及び図6中の(d)に示すように、本実施形態に係る電気泳動用反応器具110は、基材101上に複数のゲル105を固定した器具である。
電気泳動により分離するサンプルとしては、例えば、生物個体、体液、細胞株、組織培養物又は組織断片等の生物材料から採取した調製物を好適に用いることができる。特に、プロテイン、ポリペプチド又はポリヌクレオチドを用いることが好ましい。
基材101は、ゲル105を支持し、固定するものである。基材101としては、例えば、平板プレート又は所望の形状に成型したチップ等が挙げられる。基材101は、ゲルを支持し、固定するものであれば、平板プレート等に限定されず、ゲルを収容する筐体等であってもよい。
本実施形態において使用するモノマーは、ゲルを形成するためのモノマーであり、例えば、アクリルアミド、アガロース等の重合又は架橋することでゲル化するものが挙げられる。また、モノマーは、N,N’-メチレンビスアクリルアミド等の架橋剤、アクリルアミド誘導体(種々の酸解離定数を持たせるため、アクリルアミドに所望の置換基を設けた誘導体)等を含んでいてもよい。
フォトレジスト材料は、光エネルギー又は電子線エネルギー等の外部エネルギーを照射することによって、現像液に対する溶解性等の物性が変化するものである。
混合材料102は、モノマーとフォトレジスト材料とを混合したものである。混合材料102を基材101のゲル形成領域106に展開するためには、あらかじめモノマーとフォトレジスト材料とを混合した混合材料102を基材101のゲル形成領域106に塗布してもよく、モノマーとフォトレジスト材料とを別々に基材101に塗布してもよい。フォトレジスト材料は、混合材料102に均一に分散していることが好ましい。
混合材料102は、モノマー及びフォトレジスト材料の他に、ラジカル重合開始剤及び増粘剤を含み得る。ラジカル重合開始剤及び増粘剤を混合材料102に添加する順番は特に限定されず、例えば、混合材料102を基材101に塗布する前に基材101に塗布してもよく、基材101に展開された混合材料102に添加してもよい。
混合材料102に照射する外部エネルギーとしては、上述の通り光エネルギー、電子線エネルギー等が挙げられる。混合材料102に光エネルギー又は電子線エネルギーを照射する照射手段としては、例えば、半導体レーザー(波長830nm、532nm、488nm、405nm等)、メタルハライドランプ、高圧水銀灯(波長436nm、波長405nm、波長365nm)、エキシマレーザー(波長248nm、波長193nm、波長157nm)、極端紫外線照射装置(13.6nm)、電子線照射装置等が挙げられる。上記照射手段は、フォトレジスト材料又はラジカル重合開始剤の性質に応じて適宜選択される。
図5中の(a)及び図6中の(a)に示すように、基材101に表面処理を施し、表面処理した領域にゲルを形成するためのゲル形成領域106としてもよい。表面処理は、モノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料102を基材101の所望の領域に供給し、ゲル105を所望の領域に付着させるために行われる。
本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法においては、まず、塗布工程において、ゲル105を形成するためのモノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料102を基材101上に塗布する。つまり、図5中の(a)に示すように、インクジェットヘッド(図示せず)を矢印A方向に走査して、図6中の(b)に示すように、モノマー及びフォトレジスト材料を基材101のゲル形成領域106に塗布し、モノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料102をゲル形成領域106に展開する。
ゲル化工程において、基材101上に塗布された混合材料102の所望の領域に外部エネルギーを照射して、外部エネルギーが照射された領域のモノマーをゲル化する。ゲル化工程においては、図5(c)及び図6(c)に示すように、フォトマスク(遮蔽膜)103を介して照射手段から照射された外部エネルギーを混合材料102の所望のゲル化領域104に照射してもよい。ゲル化工程において、外部エネルギーが照射されたゲル化領域104においては、モノマーのゲル化が進行するが、ゲル化領域104以外(フォトマスク103で放射線エネルギーが遮蔽された領域)においては、モノマーはゲル化されずに溶液状態で存在する。
除去工程において、ゲル化工程後の混合材料102を現像し、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域の混合材料102を除去する。これにより、図5中の(d)及び図6中の(d)に示すように、所望の形状のゲル105を基材101に上に形成することができる。
本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造装置は、ゲルを形成するためのモノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料を基材上に塗布する塗布手段と、上記基材上に塗布された上記混合材料の所望の領域に外部エネルギーを照射して、外部エネルギーが照射された領域の上記モノマーをゲル化する照射手段と、外部エネルギーが照射された後の上記混合材料を現像して、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域の上記混合材料を除去する現像手段とを備えていればよい。さらに、上記製造装置は、上述した遮蔽膜を備えていてもよい。なお、本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造装置の各手段は、上述した本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法の各工程を実施するために用いられる手段の一実施形態である。したがって、本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造装置の一実施形態は、上述した本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法の説明に準じるものであり、その詳細な説明を省略する。
塗布手段としては、ゲルを形成するモノマー及びフォトレジスト材料を基材に塗布するものであれば限定されず、例えば、上記のディスペンサー又はインクジェットヘッド(インクジェット吐出手段)等が挙げられる。また、電気泳動用反応器具の製造装置はグラジエントゲル又はIPGゲルを基材に形成するために、グラジエントミキサー又はスタティックミキサー等の混合手段を備えていてもよい。
照射手段としては、モノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料に光エネルギー又は電子線エネルギー等の外部エネルギーを照射するものが挙げられる。よって、照射手段としては、例えば、半導体レーザー(波長830nm、532nm、488nm、405nm等)、メタルハライドランプ、高圧水銀灯(波長436nm、波長405nm、波長365nm)、エキシマレーザー(波長248nm、波長193nm、波長157nm)、極端紫外線照射装置(13.6nm)、電子線照射装置等が挙げられる。
現像手段は、外部エネルギーが照射された後の混合材料を現像して、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域の混合材料を除去するものである。また、本実施形態に係る現像手段は、半導体製造工程のフォトリソグラフィー工程における現像手段と同様に構成することができる。そのため、現像手段としては、例えば、純水、酢酸-酢酸ナトリウム緩衝液(pH7付近に調整)等の現像液を混合材料に浸漬し、振盪する手段等が挙げられる。
ゲルを形成するためのモノマーとフォトレジスト材料とを含む電気泳動用ゲル材料であり、外部エネルギーが照射された領域のみをゲル化し、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域は現像して除去することによって、所望の形状のゲルを形成するための電気泳動用ゲル材料も本発明の範囲に包含される。
<電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法>
以下に、図7及び図8を用いて、本発明に係る電気泳動用反応器具の製造方法の他の実施形態を説明する。図7は、本発明の他の実施形態に係る電気泳動用反応器具を複数製造する工程を示す図であり、図8は、本発明の他の実施形態に係る電気泳動用反応器具を示す斜視図である。
塗布工程において、図7中の(c)に示すように、ゲル105を形成するためのモノマーとフォトレジスト材料との混合材料102を基材101上に塗布する。つまり、複数の基材片130の表面にまとめて混合材料102を塗布し、混合材料102を基材101のゲル形成領域106に展開させる。
次に、ゲル化工程において、それぞれの基材片130上に、隣接する基材片130上に形成されたゲルから離間したゲルが形成されるように、混合材料102に外部エネルギーを照射する。このとき、それぞれの基材片130の所望の領域に外部エネルギーが照射されるようにするため、所望のフォトマスクを設計し、当該フォトマスク103を混合材料102上に配置して外部エネルギーを混合材料102に照射してもよい。上記のように、混合材料102に外部エネルギーを照射することで、外部エネルギーが照射された領域のモノマーがゲル化する。
次に、除去工程において、ゲル化工程後の混合材料102を現像し、外部エネルギーが照射されていない領域の混合材料102を除去することで、図7中の(d)に示すように、連結した複数の基材片130のそれぞれにゲル105を形成することができる。
そして、分離工程において、連結した複数の基材片130を分離することで、図7中の(e)及び図8に示すように、それぞれの基材片130上にゲル105が形成された電気泳動用反応器具120を複数製造できる。アガロース等のゲル化で固定する方法又は両面テープ等で接着する方法等により、基材101同士を固定していた場合には、基材101を固定していた面を洗浄することが好ましい。
