By training using training data including the observation data and information indicating whether the observation data has been obtained from a particle contained in the first sample or the second sample, a classification model is generated that outputs discrimination information indicating whether or not a particle has the specific morphological characteristics when the observation data indicating a result of observing the particle is input.

Abstract

An acoustic focusing chip is irradiated with ultrasonic waves from an acoustic element P. A flow path having an inlet and an outlet is formed inside of a plate body along a plate surface. A region proximate to the inlet of the flow path of the plate body is set as an ultrasonic wave application region for receiving irradiation of the ultrasonic waves. The acoustic element is arranged on the plate surface in the ultrasonic wave application region. A reflective portion capable of reflecting the ultrasonic waves toward the flow path is formed along the flow path in the ultrasonic wave application region. Thereby, the flow focusing ability, heat dissipation, and strength retention can be cost-effectively improved with a simple configuration.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for ghost cytometry (GC), which may be used to produce an image of an object without using a spatially resolving detector. This may be used to perform image-free ultrafast fluorescence “imaging” cytometry, based on, for example, a single pixel detector. Spatial information obtained from the motion of cells relative to a patterned optical structure may be compressively converted into signals that arrive sequentially at a single pixel detector. Combinatorial use of the temporal waveform with the intensity distribution of the random or pseudo-random pattern may permit computational reconstruction of cell morphology. Machine learning methods may be applied directly to the compressed waveforms without image reconstruction to enable efficient image-free morphology-based cytometry. Image-free GC may achieve accurate and high throughput cell classification as well as selective sorting based on cell morphology without a specific biomarker, which have been challenging using conventional flow cytometers.

According to the present invention: first waveform data representing a morphological feature of a particle obtained by shining light onto the particle, and a captured image obtained by imaging the particle, are acquired; a first trained model for outputting a particle image upon input of waveform data is generated by means of learning that employs first training data including the first waveform data and the captured image; category information indicating a category into which a particle is classified in accordance with the morphological feature is acquired in association with the particle image output by the first trained model when second waveform data are input into the first trained model; and data including the second waveform data and the category information are used as second training data for training a second trained model for outputting the category information upon input of the waveform data.

Abstract

A method of evaluating performance of a flow cytometer configured to use a combination of two or more types of calibration particles having different morphologies from each other, includes a first classification step of classifying the calibration particles from each other based on a first optical characteristic by the flow cytometer which is an evaluation target, a second classification step of classifying the calibration particles from each other based on a second optical characteristic which is classifiable at a spatial resolution lower than a spatial resolution at which the first optical characteristic is classified, and the evaluation step of evaluating one or both of particle classification performance and a resolution of the flow cytometer based on a first classification result assessed in the first classification step and a second classification result assessed in the second classification step.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for identifying a nucleic acid, which may comprise incubating a cell that has been or is suspected of having been transfected or transduced with an exogenous ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule or an exogenous deoxyribonucleic (DNA) molecule. Next, a morphological change of the cell may be identified. Next, contents of the cell may be processed to identify a nucleic acid sequence or a peptide, polypeptide, or protein or a sequence of the peptide, polypeptide, or protein. Next, the nucleic acid sequence or the peptide, polypeptide, or protein or the sequence of the peptide, polypeptide, or protein may be analyzed to determine an exogenous sequence of the exogenous RNA molecule or the exogenous DNA molecule. Next, the exogenous sequence of the exogenous RNA molecule or the exogenous DNA molecule may be identified as effecting the morphological change of the cell. The exogenous RNA molecule or the exogenous DNA molecule may encode genes or peptides, polypeptides, or proteins that inhibit, activate, or modulate a biochemical pathway within the cell, thereby causing the morphological change of the cell.
