Abstract: First, a correction area, which is a part of area where a second ink (typically, white ink) is to be ejected among the area on base material, is determined. Next, density data is corrected so that the second ink is ejected onto the correction area. Thereafter, actual printing on the base material is started. Then, the second ink is ejected onto the correction area, and a first ink (typically, color ink) is ejected onto the second ink that has been ejected onto the base material in the correction area.

Abstract: In order to interpret an arbitrary sequence region in many genes in many cells, it is necessary to degrade a nucleic acid into fragments and introduce a sequence that is different from one cell to another into each of the fragments. However, in the conventional configuration for analyzing many cells, there has been a problem that mixing of the degraded fragments among areas occurs before a tag sequence unique for each of the areas is introduced. The present invention provides a system for capturing a nucleic acid extracted from a cell in each of plural areas on a substrate and synthesizing a complementary DNA (cDNA) of the nucleic acid for each of the areas, wherein the system also includes a means for immediately introducing a tag sequence unique for each of the areas to the reaction product.

Abstract: Although analysis can be very quickly conducted at a low cost by a method for measuring a biopolymer using a nanopore, the accuracy of distinguishing the individual monopolymers constituting the biopolymer is low. To both ends of a biopolymer through a nanopore, molecules which are larger than the nanopore are attached and then the biopolymer is reciprocated by an external force to thereby perform repeated measurements.
