The structure of each part in the upgrading unit 101 below will be described in detail in detail.Flood chamber 102 is connected to an end of separate chamber 108, and sampling hut 103 is connected to the other end of separate chamber 108.Electrode 105 is placed in the flood chamber, and electrode 106 and 107 is placed in the sampling hut 103.Flood chamber 102 and sampling hut 103 fill damping fluid and are used for electrophoresis.Electrode 106 in the sampling hut 103 is placed in the face of the electrode in the flood chamber 102, and the electrode 107 in the sampling hut 103 is placed in the bottom of sampling hut 103.Strainer 104 is placed in the sampling hut 103 sampling hut 103 is divided into separate chamber 108 and the chamber that comprises electrode 106.Strainer 104 allows to pass through less than the material of target nucleic acid, stops the material that is not less than target nucleic acid to pass through.A lot of filter openings are arranged on the strainer 104, and they have for example prevention and target nucleic acid interacts and stop target nucleic acid by such characteristic.
Strainer 104 is made with the quadrangular pyramid shape of a bottom opening and a lateral opening.The bottom opening of cone is towards the separate chamber 108.The lateral opening of cone is the horizontal plane of a upward opening.Correspondingly, the target nucleic acid of strainer 104 in the part of separate chamber 108 can be by geat 110 samplings.Along with target nucleic acid utilizes electrophoresis to electrode 106 migrations, target nucleic acid concentrates in the part of electrode 106 at strainer 104.
Next, will explain by the concentration process of upgrading unit according to Figure 18 target nucleic acid.Figure 18 is the synoptic diagram of the concentration process of target nucleic acid.At first, Figure 18 (a) expression sample is injected into the state in the flood chamber 102.For more clearly describing at this, our assumes samples contains target nucleic acid 112, greater than the nucleic acid 111 of target nucleic acid 112 (volume is big or big on the molecular weight amount), less than the nucleic acid 113 of target nucleic acid.
The state that Figure 18 (a) expression large nucleic acids 111, target nucleic acid 112 and small nucleic acids 113 are mixed.When voltage is applied on electrode 105 and 106, large nucleic acids 111, target nucleic acid 112 and small nucleic acids 113 are introduced in the separate chamber 108, and move with different speed in separate chamber 108, shown in Figure 18 (b).For structure shown in Figure 180, sepharose is used as separating medium and is filled separate chamber 108, so that small nucleic acids 113 is positioned at before other nucleic acid.
Small nucleic acids 113 arrives sampling hut 103 by separate chamber 108 the preceding.Then, small nucleic acids 113 passes strainer 104 and moves to electrode 106 in the sampling hut 103.Subsequently, target nucleic acid 112 arrives sampling hut 103 by separate chamber 108.Therefore, shown in Figure 18 (c), strainer 104 stops target nucleic acid 112 further to electrode 106 migrations.Because strainer 104 is made to taper, its bottom opening is towards the separate chamber 108, its lateral opening upwards, target nucleic acid 112 is concentrated in the part of strainer 104 facing to electrode 106.
In this state, stop to apply voltage by electrode 105 and 106, voltage applies by electrode 107 and 106, shown in Figure 18 (d).As a result, the electrode 106 little impurity of capture ratio target nucleic acid still.When the voltage that applies by two electrodes was stopped, nucleic acid was released from strainer.Like this, the process of target nucleic acid 112 under strainer discharges, prevented the diffusion of little impurity and small nucleic acids 113, thus high precision enriched target nucleic acid 112.
Then, the time of target nucleic acid 112 by separate chamber 108 calculated with determine from sample be injected into flood chamber 102, from by electrode 105 and 106 setting-up times to the change of the voltage by electrode 107 and 106, thereby automatically carry out the separation of target nucleic acid and concentrate.
Anyly be used for electrophoretic gel, for example sepharose can be used as separate chamber 108.Also can use separating medium as column filling.For example, be used for the carrier of gel-filtration, as using Sephadex (registered trademark) (Pharmacia).Also considerable is to be used for electrophoretic gel and column filling is combined and it is regulated so that target nucleic acid flows out at first in separated part 108.
Below, will another structure according to the upgrading unit of Figure 19 and Figure 20 be made an explanation.Figure 19 is the synoptic diagram of the Kaifeng process of upgrading unit, and Figure 20 is the side cross-sectional views of upgrading unit.Upgrading unit is inserted in the proofing unit to separate and enriched target nucleic acid.
The upper surface of upgrading unit 116 is pasting film 117a and 117b, and electrode 105 and 106 exposes in the side of upgrading unit 116.Electrode 107 exposes in its bottom surface.Electrode 105 is connected to flood chamber, and electrode 106 and 107 is connected to the sampling hut.Separate chamber 108 is arranged in the upgrading unit 116, and flood chamber and sampling hut are filled with electrophoretic buffer.The sampling hut is filtered device separately.
In this state, the sealed and voltage of upgrading unit 116 can be applied thereto from the outside.Correspondingly, upgrading unit can be easy to operate.When sample is injected in the upgrading unit 116 so that target nucleic acid is taken a sample, film 117a and 117b are torn as shown in figure 19, and sample is injected into so that target nucleic acid is taken a sample.Because film 117a and 117b are secured on the upper surface of upgrading unit, when tearing film 117, separate chamber 108 are not applied any big impact, thereby can stably concentrate and separate.
Industrial applicibility:
As above-mentioned, method of the present invention has been simplified nucleic acid has been concentrated and the operation of purifying, and According to of the present invention structurally very simple for concentrating with the device of purifying of nucleic acid, therefore can Be used for automatic detection device to concentrate and to detect nucleic acid.
