Description

Nucleic acid extraction and amplification device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and further relates to a nucleic acid extraction and amplification device.
Background
Molecular diagnostics refers to techniques for making a diagnosis by detecting changes in the structure or expression level of genetic material in a patient using molecular biology methods. The samples used for molecular diagnosis are usually tissue cells, hair, anticoagulated blood or dry blood from a subject, formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, and the like, and nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) in the samples are extracted by processing the samples to perform detection at a molecular level, thereby completing detection of the gene type or detection of pathogenic microorganisms of the subject, or typing tumors, and the like.
For molecular diagnostics, the most common clinical detection method is the fluorescent quantitative PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) method. PCR is a technique for amplifying specific DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fragments in vitro. In addition to PCR technology, various isothermal amplification techniques are also used in the field of molecular diagnostics, such as LAMP or RPA.
Various nucleic acid amplification techniques generally require processing of samples, extraction of nucleic acids, construction of reaction systems, amplification reactions, and detection of signals. These processes are very prone to contamination and false positives. Contamination comes from two aspects, on the one hand from the positive sample itself. Since some strongly positive samples themselves contain large amounts of viral, bacterial, cellular or target nucleic acids. These viruses, bacteria, cells or target nucleic acids can contaminate negative samples during the procedure and produce false positives. And the contamination of virus and bacteria in the strong positive sample can also threaten the life health of operators. On the other hand, contamination results from contamination of the product after the amplification reaction. Amplification reactions will replicate the target nucleic acid in the sample in large amounts and detect signals, and these amplified products will contaminate other samples and produce false positives.
In addition, the pretreatment processes such as sample treatment and nucleic acid extraction require complicated steps for performing operations on respective fluids (samples, reagents, and the like) such as quantification, transfer, mixing, and separation, and a phenomenon in which the fluids are mixed and contaminated easily occurs. And once pollution occurs, the detection accuracy is seriously influenced.
Currently, most molecular diagnostic tests require specialists to use very complex instruments and perform complex procedures in specialized laboratories. And doctors or patients often need quick and definite experimental results. Therefore, there is a need for miniaturization of the instrument, integration of the analysis process, and automation. In some application scenarios, medical staff need to go to the site for diagnosis, expensive and complicated instruments are inconvenient to carry, and the site does not have a laboratory environment required for nucleic acid extraction, so that the demand for portability and integration of molecular diagnostic instruments is provided.

Cartridges of prior art designs tend to be complex and unsealed, which often involve mechanical movement within the cartridge in order to change the position of the cavity within the container or to drive the movement of the liquid within the container, but the gaps between moving and non-moving parts are prone to sample leakage contamination. The present invention utilizes magnetic force to drive moving parts. The entire cartridge is sealed against the transmission, greatly reducing the possibility of leakage contamination.
The device provided by the invention can be used for extracting and amplifying nucleic acid in a sample, and has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, low manufacturing cost and convenience for popularization and use. Particularly, the invention adopts electromagnetic adsorption to change the position between the suction head and the cavity in the closed card box, thereby ensuring the tightness of the whole card box and preventing the occurrence of pollution. In addition, the transfusion pipeline is controlled by electromagnetic force, so that the tightness of the reaction chamber is ensured.
