目前市面上的自動化核酸萃取設備主要採用磁珠技術來萃取核酸,為了達到自生物樣本內萃取目標核酸的目的,將生物樣本與萃取試劑以及磁珠等混合使其充分反應至關重要,因此現有的自動化核酸萃取設備內通常會設置兩組驅動件,一組用以抓取和移動樣本或套管,另一組用以驅動套管旋轉,據以攪拌包含生物樣本、萃取試劑及磁珠的混合液。然而,驅動件的數量除了提高設備的維護成本外,必然地增加整體設備的體積,造成使用者需提供更大的空間以設置萃取設備。 Currently, automated nucleic acid extraction equipment on the market mainly uses magnetic bead technology to extract nucleic acids. In order to achieve the purpose of extracting target nucleic acids from biological samples, it is crucial to mix biological samples with extraction reagents and magnetic beads to fully react. Therefore, existing Automated nucleic acid extraction equipment is usually equipped with two sets of driving components. One is used to grab and move samples or sleeves, and the other is used to drive the rotation of the sleeve to stir the mixture containing biological samples, extraction reagents and magnetic beads. Mixture. However, the number of driving parts not only increases the maintenance cost of the equipment, but also inevitably increases the volume of the overall equipment, requiring the user to provide more space to install the extraction equipment.
為了解決前述自動化核酸萃取設備的缺陷,本揭示內容提供一種樣本處理模組,藉由各構件的設計及連動關係,可利用單一驅動組件即可達到移動和驅動套管旋轉的目的。 In order to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of automated nucleic acid extraction equipment, this disclosure provides a sample processing module.

Move between spaces and extend into the holes for magnetic attraction and/or mixing to automatically complete the entire extraction process and obtain nucleic acid products.
第6B圖為依據本發明另一實施方式所示之生物樣本處理設備600,在此實施方式中,生物樣本處理設備600更包含套管匣包含有複數套管680供所述樣本處理模組620取用,所述套管680與樣本處理模組620的配置方式如第1圖至第4圖所述,故在此不另贅述。 Figure 6B shows a biological sample processing device 600 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the biological sample processing device 600 further includes a casing cassette containing a plurality of casings 680 for the sample processing module 620 The arrangement of the casing 680 and the sample processing module 620 is as described in Figures 1 to 4, and therefore will not be described again here.
總結上述,本揭示內容提供一種樣本處理模組及包含所述樣本處理模組的生物樣本處理設備,其優勢在於透過單一驅動模組即可完成縱向移動 和自轉攪拌的作動,達到降低自動化核酸萃取設備的維護成本及縮減設備體積的目的。 To summarize the above, the present disclosure provides a sample processing module and a biological sample processing device including the sample processing module, which has the advantage of being able to complete longitudinal movement through a single drive module. And the action of rotating and stirring achieves the purpose of reducing the maintenance cost of automated nucleic acid extraction equipment and reducing the size of the equipment.
雖然上文實施方式中揭露了本發明的具體實施例,然其並非用以限定本發明,本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不悖離本發明之原理與精神的情形下,當可對其進行各種更動與修飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當以附隨申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the above embodiments disclose specific examples of the present invention, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can, without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, Various changes and modifications can be made to it, so the protection scope of the present invention shall be defined by the appended patent application scope.
