The functional regions of the worktable 130 are arranged according to the above positions, which is beneficial to the nucleic acid detection process to carry out reagents and reaction steps, and avoids the problems of mutual influence and interference.
It can be understood that the pipetting robot 110 and the rotating plate robot 120 may be conventional apparatuses, and may be specifically adjusted according to actual experimental requirements. In this embodiment, the pipetting robot 110 includes 8 independently operated pipetting pumps, which can respectively realize the control in the three directions of X, Y and Z, and mainly complete the operation of taking tips from the Tip storage area 181, and then control the pipetting robot to move in the XYZ axes to transfer the samples and reagents to the wells of the reaction plate. The rotating plate mechanical arm 120 is located on the right side of the pipetting mechanical arm 110, and can also respectively realize the control in the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction, and the main actions are as follows: the PCR plate is transferred from the surface of the worktable 130 to the circulating temperature control module 210 through the circulating temperature control inlet 150, the ELISA plate is transferred from the surface of the worktable 130 to the detection module 220 through the detection inlet 160, or the experimental consumables such as the deep hole plate, the PCR plate, the ELISA plate and the like are mutually transferred on the surface of the worktable 130.

Through the above-mentioned independent branch storehouse space design, collocation efficient filters air draft system and ultraviolet lamp system, effectively prevents the air cross talk each other between the three, can fully carry out various molecular experiments according to PCR laboratory subregion requirement.
The technical personnel in the field know that when the ODTC starts, the interior of the ODTC needs to exchange heat to complete the temperature rise and decrease circulation, at the moment, the heat is completely dissipated into a temperature control sealed cavity formed by the temperature control sealed partition plate 211, and when the temperature in the sealed cavity rises to the low point 50 ℃ of the thermal circulation temperature of the ODTC, the ODTC is difficult to or cannot reach 50 ℃, and the experimental result is influenced. At this point, the exhaust system is started, and the ODTC exhaust system can set the rotation speed of the fan 410 to match the experiment requirements. For example, a relatively low rotation speed of about 1500rpm may be selected, and the setting may be made according to actual conditions, depending on the air volume of the fan 410. Accordingly, heat generated by ODTC thermal cycle is taken away by the air exhaust system, and the temperature rise and fall efficiency of ODTC can be effectively improved, so that the thermal cycle time is reduced, and the preparation efficiency of the whole library is further improved.
More importantly, after the ODTC process ends, a large amount of aerosol is generated at the instant the ODTC opens the thermal cap. At the moment, the air draft system is started, the aerosol generated instantly when the ODTC is opened can be taken away by the air draft system, the accumulation and sedimentation of the aerosol are effectively avoided, and the gene sequencing result is more reliable.
Therefore, the circulating temperature control module 210 of the embodiment further comprises a temperature control air draft system 213, wherein the temperature control air draft system 213 is arranged on the temperature control sealing partition plate 211 and is used for exhausting and filtering the air in the temperature control sealed cavity.
