- factory automation has been adopted in various industries and is contributing to improved productivity and quality, but all of this is based on the fundamental principle of economic activity, "mass consumption and mass production,” and does not match the manufacturing industry that provides "what is needed, to the people who need it, when they need it, and in the amount they need,” as defined in the super-smart society advocated by the Japanese government.
- automation itself is a manufacturing method that should be rejected.
- 3D printers are a means of producing three-dimensional objects that can meet the demands of the ultra-smart society mentioned above, although they are only applicable to a very small part of the manufacturing industry.
- HACCP is characterized by the fact that it breaks down the manufacturing process into smaller steps and manages risks for each step, thereby preventing the shipment of problematic products and, in the unlikely event that a food accident does occur, making it possible to quickly identify which process is responsible.
- HACCP is a law that is required of companies other than large-scale manufacturers, it is extremely difficult and cost-effective to manage all processes with advanced analytical equipment, and because the items that need to be managed are so diverse, responding to this is a major challenge.
- the conventional method mainly consisted of "sampling inspection” from “packaging” to "shipping,” but the HACCP method is a hygiene management method that ensures product safety by "predicting hazards such as microbial contamination and the introduction of foreign matter" at each stage from receiving raw materials to processing and shipping, and by “continuously and continuously monitoring and recording particularly important processes that lead to the prevention of hazards.” While this makes it possible to prevent the shipment of more problematic products than the previous method of sampling inspection of final products, the cost and effort (man-hours) of inspection and analysis, as well as large-scale modifications to the manufacturing process, are already major issues. Because HACCP is a system and regulation that has only just been introduced in Japan, it is not fully understood by those outside the industry that it is a major issue. However, it is self-evident that
- Quality assurance is an important act in the food processing and manufacturing mentioned above, and various measures have been taken so far.
- the evaluation items for quality assurance are limited to the management of conventions and process conditions (for example, heating at 100°C for 2 minutes, or annealing at room temperature for 1 hour after molding), and there are many cases where essential analysis of quality is not carried out.
- typical physical properties such as elastic modulus and softening point are measured as specification items and listed in catalogs and quality certificates, but even if the specification values are the same, it is not guaranteed that the characteristics will be the same when processed.
- analytical equipment manufacturers are not charities, but rather aim to make profits, so they only bring to market products that are recognized as valuable by many users.
- the largest users of analytical equipment are scientists conducting academic research, such as those in the research departments of universities and companies.
- many of these users use analytical equipment to verify the logic of academic papers and dissertations.
- the data generated by analytical equipment must have a logical basis, and that logic must be understandable, at the very least, to the scientist who uses it.
- the present inventors considered that this was the fundamental problem.
- ID status record
- AI artificial intelligence
- this silver halide By subjecting this silver halide to spectral sensitization, it can be made sensitive to blue, green, and red light; these layers can be stacked vertically and individually, and each layer can contain complementary dye precursors of yellow, magenta, and cyan.
- a full-color dye image can then be formed by processing the layer with a phenylenediamine derivative developing agent.
- the amount of information provided to humans is amplified by more than 100,000 times. In other words, by using the reactions and interactions of chemical compounds, the amount of information increases enormously, and by shifting the focus from the human eye to measuring machines and computers, it becomes possible to use this information as mass data, which could be considered the fuel for data-driven development.
- Inductive data and deductive data The data amplified by the reactions and interactions of such compounds is not binary data of zero and one, but multi-valued data reflecting various intermediate states. In addition, all the data obtained corresponds to the target substance itself or the state of existence of the substance, so it is real data rather than virtual data, and has a large number of dimensions, making it ideal for data-driven analysis. While the data generated by the analytical equipment mentioned above is "deductive data” that is based on theory and is understandable to humans, the "data obtained by utilizing the amplification properties of compounds, i.e., chemicals” proposed in our previous inventions (Patent Application No. 2022-079140, Patent Application No. 2022-037178, Patent Application No.
- microtiter plates which are widely used in biochemical research and development, automatic dispensers that inject or drip chemical solutions or specimens into the experimental areas (wells) of the plate, and plate readers that automatically read color and light.
- this technique has been widely used in biochemistry, bioengineering, etc. for more than 20 years, it is hardly used in the chemical industry, other manufacturing industries, or the food processing industry.
- sample preparation and processing methods differ depending on the industry - for example, while water is a common solvent in biochemistry, organic solvents are used in the chemical industry; high temperatures of over 80°C are often used in food processing; and the volumes and scales of the objects being evaluated and inspected vary. As a result, data acquisition methods that are effectively used in the biochemistry field are rarely used in other industrial fields.
- This information collection system includes a sample whose quality is to be evaluated, identification information such as a QR code for identifying and managing the sample, a group of reagents that can interact with the components of the sample to generate different colors, light, or electromagnetic waves, a reaction device for reacting the sample and the group of reagents in different locations, an information collection device that collects the information generated by the reaction and the identification information along with the time and storage location, an information management device such as AWS_S3 for centrally managing the information collected from the information collection device, a prediction model that predicts the quality of the sample based on the information stored in the information management device, and an alarm means for notifying the output results of the prediction model.
- identification information such as a QR code for identifying and managing the sample
- a group of reagents that can interact with the components of the sample to generate different colors, light, or electromagnetic waves
- a reaction device for reacting the sample and the group of reagents in different locations
- an information collection device that collects the information generated by the reaction and the
- the quality of samples can be evaluated and managed based on multidimensional features. Furthermore, process data obtained when preparing a specimen may be used as the feature amount. In addition, the same sample may be evaluated using an information collection system that outputs approximately similar results at the times of production, inspection, shipping, delivery, user purchase, etc., allowing quality evaluation and management to be performed taking into account changes in the sample over time.
- each of the many fine wells must be filled with a reagent (referred to as a "sensitizer" in this specification) that can generate color, light, or electromagnetic waves by interacting with some component of the milk, in addition to the milk.
- a reagent referred to as a "sensitizer” in this specification
- the specimen since it does not contain any component that emits light itself, the color itself is basically white and the chromaticity change due to the lot is small, so a light source is required for detection with good sensitivity.
- An electronic display is a typical example of a device that provides stimuli in the form of optical information to the human eye. In order to produce all the wavelengths of light that humans can perceive, these electronic displays almost always emit the three primary colors of light - blue, green and red - as tiny pixels.
- Electronic displays use this light emission adapted to the wavelengths that the human eye, i.e., the rods and cones, detect; however, by manipulating the wavelength so that it emits at a wavelength appropriate for the sensitizer rather than the human eye, it was realized that it could be used as a versatile on-demand light source for data science. Not only can self-luminous plasma displays and organic EL displays be excitation light sources, but also non-luminous LCD displays can be excitation light sources when the light emitted from a white light-emitting backlight passes through a color filter.
- microwells which are the reaction sites in a microplate
- shape of the microwells is easy for the detection device to measure. For this reason, wells that are diced test tubes, as conventionally used in biochemistry, are not optimal.
- a manufacturing method that allows the shape of the microwell and the height of the banks to be changed according to the application and detector. From the perspective of three-dimensional modeling, 3D printers are the most common method, but this method is not good at expanding in the planar direction (in terms of coordinates, the x-axis and y-axis directions), but is effective in ensuring the vertical direction, i.e., the height of the bank (in terms of coordinates, the z-axis direction).
- this method is not suitable for the need to cover a large area with ultra-multi-wells, as in the present invention.
- the volume of the wells is very small, it is reasonable to supply the drug to each well using a microdispenser or inkjet, so the height of the bank (height in the z-axis direction) is not necessary and this can be substituted by inkjet printing or microdispenser printing using UV-curable ink rather than a 3D printer.
- the already commercialized JETvarnish series is an inkjet spot UV varnish coater manufactured by MGI Digital Technology, France, and is capable of 3D spot varnish coating with an embossing (thick build-up) effect.
- the bank size (x-y direction) can be made highly accurate up to about 100 ⁇ m, and the bank height (z direction) can be secured up to about 200 ⁇ m, and it is a device that can handle large sizes such as A2 and B2. Conventionally, it has been used for special gloss printing as described below, but it is also a suitable device for the production of ultra-multiwells oriented toward data science as described above, and can be used immediately.
- microwells can be formed by using a general inkjet printing method to overlay polyurethane or polyimide, which undergo a polymerization reaction with two liquids, at the same position by position control, and then reacting (polyaddition reaction, polycondensation reaction, etc.) to harden them.
- a general inkjet printing method to overlay polyurethane or polyimide, which undergo a polymerization reaction with two liquids, at the same position by position control, and then reacting (polyaddition reaction, polycondensation reaction, etc.) to harden them.
- the height of the bank is insufficient, overprinting is required, and depending on the positional accuracy, ultrafine drawing at the 10 ⁇ m level may be difficult, but since such high resolution is not necessary, a plate reader that arranges microwells using this method can be simply produced on demand.
- it is possible to form simple microwells by forming lines of resin in the x and y directions using, for example, a dispenser manufactured by Musashi Engineering Co., Ltd
- Multi-well sheet and light source sheet As described in "6-2.” above, the integrated multi-wells can be formed in a sheet shape using existing techniques and devices. As described above in “6-1.”, it is quite possible with electronic display technology to form individual light sources that correspond one-to-one to the multi-wells, and when individual light sources are not required, a surface light source such as a backlight can be used.
- a surface light source such as a backlight
- the light source side is based on the present invention in that an electronic display is used, and for example, the following sheet-like light source can be suitably used in the present invention.
- One such example is a sheet-shaped OLED manufactured by a highly simplified OLED element manufacturing method (see Tomoo Izumi et al., “New Conceptual OLED Based on Highly Simplified Architecture and Fabrication Method”, SID Digest of Technical Papers, Volume 52, Issue 1, Pages 297-300, 2021), which can handle multi-dots with one dot for each well, and can also easily and readily produce point light sources that emit the most advantageous wavelength for generating electromagnetic waves from the developer, phosphor, sensitizer, etc. present in each well on demand, using an inkjet method, making this the most preferred method for manufacturing a light source sheet in the present invention.
- the present invention makes it possible to turn the wells, which are the reaction sites, into ultra-multi-wells. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a light source corresponding to the multi-wells, and to adjust on demand the size, shape, and emission wavelength of the light source to suit the application, sample, developer, and sensitizer in the wells. In addition, in the past, in biochemical multi-well sheets, it was difficult to control the temperature of each well (reaction field), and such work had never been done.
- variable temperature allows the activation energy of the specimen or reagent to be exceeded, intentionally inducing a chemical or biochemical reaction, which is a major advantage.
- a substance photothermal conversion substance
- the amount of the photothermal conversion substance in the well can be changed little by little, making it possible to gradually change the temperature for each well.
- the base material for the multi-wells and light source may be either glass or plastic, and in either case, a multi-well sheet with a built-in light source and a very thin shape of less than 1 mm can be produced.
- this multi-well sheet can be used as an ID sheet to obtain traceability for primary industries such as milk and fruit juice, and can also be used to understand the status and record reactions in industrial manufacturing processes such as wine brewing, soy sauce brewing, and the production process of fake meat, as well as in paint and ink manufacturing.
- primary industries such as milk and fruit juice
- multi-well sheets have a built-in light source, so no external light source is required and data can be acquired. This means that they can be used in a wide variety of situations, offering the major advantage of being applicable to almost all primary and secondary industries.
- the means for acquiring a large amount of multidimensional data are color, light, or electromagnetic waves, so the detection method will be a spectrophotometer, a fluorescence clock, a photodetector according to the wavelength, an electromagnetic wave sensor, or the like.
- the simplest method of acquiring data is to convert color, light, or electromagnetic waves into an electrical signal using a photoelectric conversion sensor such as a CCD or CMOS sensor in synchronization with the emission of light from a sheet-like excitation light source, which is simple and preferable.
- This can be a photo taken with a digital camera on a smartphone, and data can be obtained from analyzing that image data, so this type of use is thought to be suitable regardless of the situation in which it is used.

- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a microarray device of the present invention.
- the microarray device 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a sheet-shaped light source unit 10 located on the lower surface of the support 1, and a sheet-shaped multiwell unit 20 located on the upper surface of the support 1.
- the light source unit 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED).

- FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of a microarray device of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a microarray device of the present invention.
- electromagnetic waves are irradiated from the microdot light emitter 13, which serves as a light source, to the microwell structure 22, which serves as a reaction site.
- This electromagnetic wave acts as excitation light, causing the specimen present in the microwell structure 22 (or a sensitizer that may be present together with the specimen) to emit light such as fluorescence, generating electromagnetic waves.
- the electromagnetic waves generated from the microwell structure 22 become scientific data on the specimen, substance, or object.
- the microarray device 100 of the present invention has multiple microwell structures 22 that serve as reaction fields, making it possible to generate a large amount of data at once. Also, by having multiple microdot emitters 13 that serve as light sources, the number of microdot emitters 13 for one microwell structure 22 and the positional relationship between the microwell structure 22 and the microdot emitters 13 can be freely adjusted. This makes it possible to change the amount of electromagnetic waves irradiated to each microwell structure 22 and the irradiation angle depending on the microwell structure 22, making it possible to generate a variety of data in a single test. Furthermore, the microarray device 100 of the present invention is easy to handle, making it possible to quickly generate large amounts of data.
- the in-plane coordinates of the microdot light emitter 13 and the in-plane coordinates of the microwell structure 22 can be positioned so that they at least partially overlap. By positioning them in this way, it becomes possible to simultaneously capture the absorption spectrum data and emission spectrum data of the sample during detection. In addition, by positioning them in this way, the optical path length can be shortened, making it possible to provide the microwell structure 13 and the microdot light emitter 22 at a higher density.
- the number of microdot light emitters 13 and the number of microwell structures 22 can be made to match, and the positional relationship can be such that the in-plane center coordinates of each microdot light emitter 13 and the in-plane center coordinates of each microwell structure 22 match.
- the excitation emission efficiency is maximized, thereby improving the accuracy of data analysis.
- the microdot light emitter 13 and the microwell structure 22 can be arranged in a staggered positional relationship. Even in this case, the electromagnetic waves emitted from the microdot light emitter 13 are irradiated onto the microwell structure 22. By adopting such a positional relationship, it is possible to suppress direct detection of the irradiated light from the microdot light emitter 13, which can become noise.
- the number of microdot light emitters 13 can be greater than the number of microwell structures 22, and multiple microdot light emitters 13 can be positioned directly below each microwell structure 22.
