Abstract

A state detection system includes a computation unit that acquires data detected by a sensor. The computation unit includes a processing device that executes data processing. The processing device converts data of a digitized time-series signal from a sensor, into data on frequency spectrum intensity. The processing device converts a partial area in an overall area in which values of data on frequency spectrum intensity are distributed, into data expressed in low bits. The processing device generates a pseudo image, based on the data expressed in low bits. The processing device classifies the pseudo image, based on image recognition, and outputs a result of classification of a state of a facility.

Abstract

In the present disclosure, during performance of PCR at a high speed, in order to provide data with high sensitivity and high reliability, application of a thermal cycle at a high speed reduces the amplification efficiency and reduces detection sensitivity, whereas performing multiple thermal cycles in order to maximize the amplification product amount in a short time also increases the non-specific amplification product amount, causes an S/N reduction and/or pseudo-positive determination, and reduces reliability of an analysis result. Thus, an increase in amount of amplification of the target product amount and suppression of non-specific amplification are achieved at a high speed by changing the thermal cycle midway. More specifically, the present disclosure proposes a nucleic acid amplification technology comprising: a first phase in which a sample solution is subjected to a denaturation reaction for a second(s) and then subjected to an annealing and extension reaction for b second(s); and a second phase in which the sample solution that has been subjected to the first phase step is subjected to the denaturation reaction for c second(s) and then subjected to the annealing and extension reaction for d second(s) (b≠d) (see fig. 2).
