CELL ANALYSIS METHOD AND CELL ANALYSIS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18178013 Titled 'CELL ANALYSIS METHOD AND CELL ANALYSIS SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

The cell analysis method described in the abstract involves several steps. First, a first liquid containing a cell is stored in a tank, while a second liquid containing a compound is stored in another tank. The first liquid is then discharged onto a substrate, creating multiple droplets. Next, the second liquid is discharged onto the same substrate, mixing with the first liquid droplets. The reaction between the cell and the compound is observed, and the results are acquired. Finally, the acquired results are analyzed to identify specific portions on the substrate where the predetermined criteria for the reaction are met.


Original Abstract Submitted

The cell analysis method includes: a first storage step of storing a first liquid containing a cell in a first tank; a second storage step of storing a second liquid containing a compound in a second tank; a first discharge step of discharging the first liquid to a plurality of portions on a substrate, to thereby form a plurality of first liquid droplets; a second discharge step of discharging the second liquid to the plurality of portions on the substrate in such a manner that the second liquid is allowed to be admixed with the first liquid droplets; a result acquisition step of acquiring results of a reaction between the cell and the compound; and an analysis step of analyzing the results acquired in the result acquisition step to specify a portion in which results satisfying predetermined criteria are obtained among the plurality of portions.
