The present invention provides an automated modular system and method for production of biopolymers including DNA and RNA. The system and method automates the complete production process for biopolymers. Modular equipment is provided for performing production steps with the individual modules arrange in a linear array. Each module includes a control system and can be rack mounted. One side of the array of modules provides connections for power, gas, vacuum and reagents and is accessible to technicians. On the other side of the array of modules a robotic transport system is provided for transporting materials between module interfaces. The elimination of the requirement for human intervention at multiple steps in the production process significantly decreases the costs of biopolymer production and reduces unnecessary complexity and sources of quality variation.

A method of generating a robot operation command includes extracting a work command from an overall work flow; extracting, from a command definition database, a command definition corresponding to the extracted work command, the work command having been read; generating, by referring to the read work command, a set of unit jobs in which at least one work command is arranged in order, based on the extracted command definition; generating, for a plurality of unit jobs, a connecting job for causing a robot to be moved from an end position of a previous unit job to a start position of a subsequent unit job; and generating a robot operation command in which the unit jobs and the connecting job are continuous.

Provided are an automatic analysis device and a maintenance support system which prevent a failure that occurs between regular inspection periods to thereby reduce the downtime of the automatic analysis device. A maintenance support system acquires, from each of a plurality of automatic analysis devices (100), pulse information transmitted from the automatic analysis device (100) provided with a mechanism which is driven by a pulse motor, and a transmission means which transmits pulse information including tow among a driving pulse value for driving the pulse motor, a consumed pulse amount that is a pulse amount consumed when the pulse motor has actually been driven, and a remaining pulse amount obtained by subtracting the consumed pulse amount from the driving pulse value, and stores at least the consumed pulse amount.

A specimen analysis system, a specimen analyzer, and a specimen analysis method are provided by which reexamination of a specimen can be executed more quickly than in conventional technology. A specimen analyzer measures a specimen and obtains an analysis result. The specimen analyzer determines the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen, based on a specimen analysis result. Also, the specimen analyzer determines, based on the specimen analysis result, whether or not determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on examination information by the examination information management device is necessary. If it is determined that determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information is necessary, the specimen analyzer makes a request to determine the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information, to the examination information management device.

A method of optimizing synthetic conditions includes receiving a graph-type descriptor comprising at least one of structural information of at least one reactant and structural information of a target product to be synthesized by the reactant; determining combinations of synthetic conditions for generating the target product by applying the graph-type descriptor to a prediction neural network model; selecting at least one initial condition combination from among the combinations based on a first confidence corresponding to a yield of the combinations; updating the prediction neural network model based on a ground-truth yield obtained from a result of an experiment with the initial condition combination; determining a priority of the combinations based on the updated prediction neural network model; and determining subsequent combinations of synthetic conditions based on the determined priority.
