Description
本案係關於一種核酸分析裝置,尤指一種全功能整合式(all-in-one)的核酸分析裝置。This case relates to a nucleic acid analysis device, especially an all-in-one nucleic acid analysis device.
即時就地照護(Point of Care, POC)試驗是一種在中心醫療院所或實驗室以外所進行的分析方法,且採用可即時判讀結果的裝置來進行。因為全球化趨勢造成新的或再現傳染病的爆發,且加快了其從流行性變成大流行性(epidemic-to-pandemic)的速度,而面對這樣的威脅,在前線臨床處置的去中心化診斷試驗將有助於及早執行公共衛生事件的應變,以減輕事件的嚴重性。在開發中國家,由於臨床實驗室基礎設施的缺乏及經費限制,診斷不易更加重了高度傳染病的負擔,若能借助POC試驗當有助於改善此情況。The Point of Care (POC) test is an analysis method performed outside of a central medical institution or laboratory, and is performed using a device that can interpret the results in real time. Globalization trends have caused outbreaks of new or recurring infectious diseases, and accelerated their speed from epidemic to pandemic (epidemic-to-pandemic), and in the face of such threats, decentralization of clinical treatment at the frontline Diagnostic tests will help to implement the response to public health events early to reduce the severity of the event. In developing countries, due to the lack of clinical laboratory infrastructure and funding constraints, the diagnosis is not easy to increase the burden of highly infectious diseases, and the use of POC tests can help improve this situation.
近年來,一些POC裝置被開發用於以等溫方式進行核酸擴增的分子診斷,其所採用的一次性卡匣被安裝於裝置內以進行流體處理,且隨後進行擴增及光學檢測。然而,現行的裝置僅提供用於擴增及檢測的單一加熱區間(例如60-65°C),缺乏更高的加熱溫區(例如95°C),無法在核酸萃取後更有效地使核酸變性(denaturation),以產生單鏈核酸進行擴增。因此,為了改善先前技術之缺失,實有必要提供一種改良的POC裝置。In recent years, some POC devices have been developed for isothermal molecular diagnosis of nucleic acid amplification. The disposable cartridges used in these devices are installed in the device for fluid processing, and then amplified and optically detected.

如第4圖及第5圖所示,卡匣9包括一卡匣本體91、一反應晶片92、及一熱處理晶片93,其中反應晶片92設置於卡匣本體91之頂部,且熱處理晶片93設置於卡匣本體91之底部。反應晶片92可用於核酸擴增試劑儲存、反應溶液處理、核酸擴增及檢測的至少其中之一。卡匣本體91亦稱為萃取晶片,可用於樣品儲存、樣品製備試劑儲存、樣品細胞裂解、核酸萃取及純化的至少其中之一。熱處理晶片93則可用於核酸變性。As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the
在一實施例中,反應晶片92為一平面型流體晶片,包括至少兩個流體網絡9A及9B,架構於進行核酸擴增及檢測,其中,流體網絡9A及9B的其中之一係架構用於品質管控。舉例來說,較長的檢測流體網絡9A為樣品流體網絡,用於檢測自樣品萃取出的核酸,而較短的檢測流體網絡9B則為對照流體網絡,用於檢測陽性對照液體及陰性對照液體。在一些實施例中,流體網絡9A及9B的每一個包括複數個檢測槽921、一主要流體流道922、以及至少一氣體釋放流道923,其中,檢測槽921係容置樣品或對照液體,主要流體流道922係與檢測槽921連接且架構於將樣品或對照液體分配至檢測槽921中,氣體釋放流道923則與檢測槽921連接且架構於將氣體自檢測槽921釋放,且氣體釋放流道923相較主要流體流道922明顯較窄。In one embodiment, the
在一實施例中,檢測槽921內有供核酸擴增及檢測之試劑。舉例來說,檢測槽921可塗佈供核酸擴增及檢測之試劑,例如包括不同螢光染料的試劑。檢測槽921之數量並不受限,且可多達40甚至更多個槽,故本案裝置可進行多重化(multiplexing)的核酸分析。在一實施例中,反應晶片92的形狀大致上為正多邊形,使得反應晶片92具有複數個呈平面的側面,可與光學單元6呈直線排列而有助於光線聚焦。當然,反應晶片92的形狀不限於正多邊形,其可為圓形或其他形狀,因為透過光學單元6之光學元件的排列,亦可使光線聚焦於檢測槽921中的樣品。在一實施例中,每一檢測槽921具有至少一平面。舉例來說,檢測槽921之形狀可為矩形,且在核酸檢測過程中,檢測槽921具有一平面與光學單元6的光偵測器62呈直線排列。In one embodiment, the

在一些實施例中,反應晶片92更包括複數個槽925及流道,可用於執行多種流體處理過程的流體功能,包括但不限於計量(metering)、混合(mixing)、除泡(debubbling)、及分配(dispensing)的至少其中之一。In some embodiments, the
在一實施例中,熱處理晶片93包括設於熱處理晶片93底面之複數個開口931及一加熱槽932。In one embodiment, the heat-treated
在一實施例中,卡匣9更包括設置在卡匣本體91及熱處理晶片93之外表面上的至少一導溝94,其係為一豎直溝槽。導溝94可與旋轉驅動單元7一起運作以控制卡匣9的運動。In one embodiment, the
第6圖顯示核酸分析裝置之部分結構示意圖。流體配接器31包括複數個開孔311及複數個接頭312。複數個開孔311設置於流體配接器31之頂面且對應連接熱處理晶片93底面之複數個開口931,以形成流體輸送的管道。複數個接頭312設置於流體配接器31之側面,且透過複數個軟管(未圖示)與流體輸送單元3連接。在運作過程中,一旦樣品被載入卡匣9,樣品載入孔924即被密封,且卡匣9被放入核酸分析裝置之腔室21中,線性驅動單元8帶動流體輸送單元3向上運動,使卡匣9與流體輸送單元3之流體配接器31緊密接觸以避免洩漏。接著由流體輸送單元3進行流體處理。流體輸送單元3係與卡匣9同時運作,以進行樣品純化、核酸萃取及流體輸送,進而實現全自動裝置。流體輸送可經由氣動(pneumatic)、真空(vacuum)、活塞(plunger)、腔室變形(chamber deformation)、熱膨脹(thermal-induced expansion)、聲波力(acoustics)、離心力(centrifugal force)或其他可在卡匣9內完成樣品處理之方法來實現。Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a part of the structure of the nucleic acid analysis device. The
在一實施例中,流體係以氣動方式經由微管道及孔洞來驅動。舉例來說,流體輸送單元3類似於本案申請人於2016年7月22日申請之台灣專利申請案號105123156(專利公告號I641823)所述之流體整合模組,且前述申請案全體內容併於此作為揭示內容而不再於此贅述。簡要來說,本案實施例之流體輸送單元3包括台灣專利公告號I641823所述之流體岐管部、旋轉閥定子、旋轉閥轉子、旋轉閥殼體及流體源(例如幫浦)。流體岐管部具有複數個微管道,係經由複數個軟管、流體配接器31、及卡匣9底部之開口931而與卡匣9內之槽體連接。由於旋轉閥定子及旋轉閥轉子上之穿孔及/或溝槽在旋轉閥轉子轉動時有對應的對位關係,故當旋轉閥轉子轉動至不同位置時,即可實現多重流體路徑的切換,進而調控卡匣9之流體運作。因此,儲存於卡匣9中的樣品或試劑便可透過流體輸送單元3的幫浦提供的氣動力而輸送到欲輸送的位置,進而自動化地執行樣品純化、核酸萃取、及核酸擴增等流程。當然,流體輸送單元不限於上述之設計,任何其他形式的流體輸送單元,只要能夠實現卡匣9內多重流體輸送及路徑切換功能,皆不脫離本案揭露的範圍。In one embodiment, the flow system is driven pneumatically via micro-pipes and holes. For example, the
第7圖顯示核酸分析裝置之部分結構示意圖,第8圖顯示第7圖所示之結構及安裝於其上之卡匣。第一溫度控制單元4係設置於主框體2上,且包括一加熱器41及一散熱器42。在一實施例中,加熱器41包括具有溫度控制演算法的加熱元件411,而散熱器42包括複數個散熱片,其係集成在加熱器41上並呈環形排列,以加速熱能散佈。加熱器41具有中央孔洞,且中央孔洞的直徑略大於卡匣9之卡匣本體91的直徑,使得卡匣9可輕易安裝於其中。當卡匣9被安裝於腔室21中時,第一溫度控制單元4即承載反應晶片92於其上,且反應晶片92與加熱器41接觸並被散熱器42所環繞。Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a part of the structure of the nucleic acid analysis device, and Fig. 8 shows the structure shown in Fig. 7 and the cassette mounted thereon. The first temperature control unit 4 is disposed on the
在一實施例中,本案之核酸分析裝置係設計用於以等溫方式進行的核酸擴增,故在核酸擴增階段只需要單一加熱區間(例如60-65°C),而無須進行多個不同溫度區間的熱循環控制,因此,第一溫度控制單元4可顯著簡化,也因此使得核酸分析裝置可小巧化設計,便於攜帶且適合用於POC診斷。此外,第一溫度控制單元4更包括熱絕緣層43,可提供良好的熱隔絕,使得核酸分析裝置之腔室21內部溫度易於維持。一旦腔室21處於均一的溫度環境,則從檢測槽921及樣品流向環境的熱散失即可被最小化,且在核酸擴增及檢測過程中,無論卡匣9是在轉動或靜止狀態,整個封閉腔室21及每個檢測槽921中的樣品都具有相同的溫度。In one embodiment, the nucleic acid analysis device in this case is designed for nucleic acid amplification performed in an isothermal manner, so only a single heating interval (for example, 60-65°C) is required in the nucleic acid amplification stage, and no multiple The thermal cycle control in different temperature ranges, therefore, the first temperature control unit 4 can be significantly simplified, and thus the nucleic acid analysis device can be designed in a compact, portable, and suitable for POC diagnosis. In addition, the first temperature control unit 4 further includes a
第一溫度控制單元4係於操作過程中提供腔室21內部所需之溫度,其中溫度控制不受檢測槽921的數量及形狀影響。在一實施例中,第一溫度控制單元4更包括至少一溫度感測器,用以控制溫度的準確度。The first temperature control unit 4 provides the temperature required inside the
在一實施例中,核酸分析裝置包括多個光學單元6。光學單元6包括如光源、透鏡、濾鏡及光偵測器等光學元件,以實現光學檢測,使得樣品在核酸擴增期間可被即時檢測。如第1圖所示,光學單元6可包括一光源61及一光偵測器62。在一實施例中,光源61可為但不限於發光二極體(light emitting diode, LED),而光偵測器62可為但不限於光電二極體(photodiode)。在操作過程中,每一光源61會與檢測槽921其中之一對位,以提供檢測用的有效光源,同時每一光偵測器62會與該檢測槽921對位,以進行檢測並取得分析結果。卡匣9之旋轉可使每一檢測槽921依序通過不同的光學單元6。在一實施例中,每一光學單元6可提供一獨特波長的光,藉此提供不同顏色的光進行螢光偵測,使核酸分析裝置可同時檢測多個目標並實現多重化檢測(multiplexing detection)。In an embodiment, the nucleic acid analysis device includes a plurality of
旋轉驅動單元7可由馬達通過齒輪、皮帶、鏈條、齒條、蝸桿、或其他機械傳動機構而致動,並可根據需求驅動卡匣9的旋轉。第9圖顯示本案實施例之旋轉驅動單元示意圖。在此實施例中,旋轉驅動單元7為一齒輪傳動機構,包括一步進馬達71、一轉軸72、一驅動齒輪73、一從動齒輪74及一旋轉感測單元75。從動齒輪74具有中央孔洞,且中央孔洞的直徑略大於卡匣本體91的直徑,使得卡匣9可輕易安裝於其中,且從動齒輪74更包括至少一突部741,例如定位銷或其他類似結構,可對應插入卡匣9上的導溝94,以夾持及控制卡匣9的運動。The
第10圖顯示核酸分析裝置之部分結構示意圖。如第9圖及第10圖所示,驅動齒輪73透過轉軸72與步進馬達71連接,且驅動齒輪73與從動齒輪74嚙合,故當步進馬達71透過轉軸72驅動驅動齒輪73旋轉時,便可同時驅動從動齒輪74及從動齒輪74所夾持之卡匣9的旋轉,進而控制卡匣9依預定程式旋轉,以使檢測槽921與每一光學單元6依序對位以進行核酸檢測,且旋轉感測單元75可監控檢測槽921是否與光學單元6對位。在一實施例中,旋轉驅動單元7更包括一軸承76,設置於從動齒輪74之內側,可限制從動齒輪74的絕對位置,以實現更平穩及可靠的旋轉。Figure 10 shows a partial schematic diagram of a nucleic acid analysis device. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the
第11圖顯示卡匣安裝完成時的局部剖面圖。根據本案之設計,卡匣9之導溝94具有特定長度,當卡匣9由使用者安裝到腔室21中時,導溝94與從動齒輪74的突部741相配合,使得卡匣9可以向下滑動至終端位置,此時卡匣9之檢測槽921與光學單元6之光偵測器62便完美地位於同一水平面上,且兩者的水平軸向透過旋轉驅動單元7的控制即可精準對位。故本案之設計定義了卡匣9安裝時的絕對初始位置,有利於初始光學校正及背景訊號量測。本案之設計亦定義了卡匣9的絕對終端位置,以在核酸擴增及檢測過程中保持旋轉和對位的一致性。Figure 11 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the cassette when installation is complete. According to the design of this case, the
在一實施例中,卡匣9包括三個導溝94,且相應地,從動齒輪74亦包括三個突部741。當然,導溝94及突部741的數量不限於三。In one embodiment, the
第12圖顯示核酸分析裝置之部分結構示意圖。第二溫度控制單元5包括一加熱器51、一散熱器52及一風扇53。加熱器51包括具有溫度控制演算法的加熱元件,散熱器52包括複數個散熱片且安裝於加熱器51之下方,風扇53則安裝於散熱器52之下方。加熱器51之頂面可與卡匣9之底面接觸,使得熱處理晶片93底面之加熱槽932與加熱器51接觸,以進行接觸加熱。第二溫度控制單元5設置的目的在於提供更高的加熱溫區(例如95°C),以對從樣品萃取所得的核酸進行熱處理,使核酸變性(denaturation)而產生單鏈核酸,以提升後續的核酸擴增效率。因此,在卡匣本體91中完成核酸萃取後,具有萃取核酸的樣品會先向下輸送至熱處理晶片93進行變性,然後再往上輸送至反應晶片92以進行核酸擴增及檢測。且在核酸變性後,散熱器52及風扇53可先對樣品進行冷卻,使溫度降至等溫擴增所需溫度(例如60-65°C),再將樣品往上輸送。Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of a part of the structure of a nucleic acid analysis device. The second
在核酸萃取階段,卡匣9底面必須與流體輸送單元3之流體配接器31緊密接觸並達成密封狀態,以進行流體處理且避免洩漏,同時與第二溫度控制單元5緊密接觸以進行熱處理。而在核酸擴增及檢測階段,卡匣9必須旋轉以使每一檢測槽921依序與不同的光學單元6對位,而為降低卡匣9旋轉時的摩擦力以使卡匣9旋轉順暢,卡匣9底面則必須與流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5保留一間隙。因此,本案之核酸分析裝置除設有旋轉驅動單元7控制卡匣9的旋轉及對位外,更設有線性驅動單元8控制流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5於垂直方向上的運動,進而分別符合核酸萃取階段的密封需求,以及核酸擴增及檢測階段的旋轉需求。In the nucleic acid extraction stage, the bottom surface of the
請參閱第6圖及第12圖。在一實施例中,線性驅動單元8包括一步進馬達81、一絲杆82、一滑塊83、以及一懸臂84,其中滑塊83透過絲杆82與步進馬達81連接,且懸臂84固定於滑塊83上。由於流體輸送單元3之流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5承載於懸臂84上,故當步進馬達81經由絲杆82控制滑塊83上下滑動時,便可帶動懸臂84上的流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5於垂直方向上的運動。因此,在核酸萃取階段,線性驅動單元8可驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向上移動並緊貼於卡匣9底面,以由流體輸送單元3進行核酸萃取,並在核酸萃取後由第二溫度控制單元5進行熱處理,以使核酸變性。而在核酸擴增及檢測階段,線性驅動單元8則可驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向下移動以與卡匣9底面保留一間隙,接著由旋轉驅動單元7驅動卡匣9的旋轉,以使每一檢測槽921依序與不同的光學單元6對位並進行檢測。Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 12. In an embodiment, the
在一實施例中,在核酸檢測完成後,線性驅動單元8更可驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向上移動並緊貼於卡匣9底面,且進一步將卡匣9向上推送使卡匣9頂面明顯高於主框體2頂面,以利使用者將卡匣9取出。In an embodiment, after the nucleic acid detection is completed, the
在一實施例中,線性驅動單元8更包括至少一位置感測單元85,可監控懸臂84的位置,並藉由預設的邏輯控制演算法來精準控制流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5的線性運動。舉例來說,線性驅動單元8包括三組位置感測單元85,可監控流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5的三段位置,包括由低至高的初始位置、與卡匣9緊密接觸的位置、以及將卡匣9頂出的位置。或者通過邏輯排列組合方式對三組位置感測單元85進行監控,可以控制多達8個(2
3)不同的位置,以實現更多功能位置控制。
In one embodiment, the
在一實施例中,核酸分析裝置更包括一壓力感測器,當流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5到達與卡匣9緊密接觸的位置時,可即時監控卡匣9內部的流體壓力,進而更精準地調整流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5的位置,確保不洩漏的流體輸送以及可靠的高溫加熱。In an embodiment, the nucleic acid analysis device further includes a pressure sensor. When the
在一實施例中,核酸分析裝置之上殼體11包括複數個擋止部13,例如截止閥(check-valve plunger),其內部設有彈簧131。當卡匣9被線性驅動單元8向上推送時,會抵頂至上殼體11之擋止部13,故擋止部13可限制線性驅動單元8的最大提升高度,且可吸收作用在上殼體11的壓力。In an embodiment, the
第13A圖至第13F圖顯示核酸分析裝置進行全功能整合檢測的工作流程。為了便於說明,圖中僅顯示出主要部件的部分結構。首先,使用者將樣品添加到卡匣9中並將卡匣安裝於腔室21中。此時,卡匣9的導溝94與從動齒輪74的突部741對位,使得卡匣9可向下滑動(如圖13A所示)。當卡匣9向下滑動到終端位置,亦即突部741到達導溝94的頂端,此時卡匣9之檢測槽921與光學單元6之光偵測器62便完美地位於同一水平面上。接著將核酸分析裝置的上殼體11關閉,使卡匣9藉由突部741及擋止部13而夾持在預定的水平面上(如圖13B所示)。Figures 13A to 13F show the workflow of the nucleic acid analysis device for full-function integration detection. For ease of explanation, only part of the structure of the main components is shown in the figure. First, the user adds the sample to the
當核酸分析裝置的上殼體11關閉後,線性驅動單元8便開始作動,使流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向上移動並緊貼於卡匣9底面,以由流體輸送單元3進行核酸萃取,並在核酸萃取後由第二溫度控制單元5進行熱處理,以使核酸變性(如圖13C所示)。位置感測單元85可同步監控流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5的位置,以確保不洩漏的流體輸送以及可靠的高溫加熱。When the
當所有的流體處理及加熱/冷卻過程依預定程式完成後,線性驅動單元8會驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向下移動,以與卡匣9分離(如圖13D所示)。此時卡匣9會回到初始位置,使卡匣9之檢測槽921與光學單元6之光偵測器62位於同一水平面上。同時樣品會輸送到反應晶片92,並依需求進行計量、混合及/或除泡等處理後,再將樣品分配到檢測槽921進行核酸擴增及檢測。接著旋轉驅動單元7會驅動卡匣9的旋轉,以使每一檢測槽921依序與不同的光學單元6對位並進行檢測(如圖13E所示)。When all the fluid processing and heating/cooling processes are completed according to a predetermined program, the
在核酸檢測完成後,使用者便可將上殼體11開啟,此時線性驅動單元8會再次驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向上移動並緊貼於卡匣9底面,且進一步將卡匣9向上推送使卡匣9頂面明顯高於主框體2頂面,以利使用者將卡匣9取出(如圖13F所示)。此功能或可通過另一種方式來完成,舉例來說,流體配接器31上可固定有至少一個例如銷類的凸起結構。凸起結構和卡匣9的導溝94具有適合的尺寸使之可以被容納於卡匣9的導溝94內,並且在垂直方向上和導溝94對準,不影響流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5在垂直方向的移動。當卡匣9需要被頂起時,可通過旋轉卡匣9一定的角度,使得凸起結構和卡匣9的導溝94不對準,此時線性驅動單元8會再次驅動流體配接器31及第二溫度控制單元5向上移動,將卡匣9頂起。此方法可以更加靈活地調整卡匣9頂起的高度。頂起高度可由調節凸起結構的長度來進行優化。After the nucleic acid detection is completed, the user can open the
在一實施例中,本案之核酸分析裝置之下殼體12上更包括一電源開關14、一內嵌鏡頭15及一觸控螢幕16。內嵌鏡頭15可掃描樣品管及卡匣上的條碼或QR圖碼以獲取相關資訊,觸控螢幕16則可供使用者操作及結果顯示。In one embodiment, the
在一實施例中,本案之核酸分析裝置係針對等溫擴增所設計,可用於進行所有的等溫擴增方法,例如核酸序列依賴性擴增技術(nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, NASBA)、鏈置換擴增技術(strand displacement amplification, SDA)、解旋酶擴增技術(helicase-dependent amplification, HDA)、環型等溫擴增技術(loop-mediated isothermal amplification, LAMP)、重組酶聚合酶擴增技術(recombinase polymerase amplification, RPA)、及切口酶擴增技術(nicking enzyme amplification reaction, NEAR)。In one embodiment, the nucleic acid analysis device in this case is designed for isothermal amplification and can be used to perform all isothermal amplification methods, such as nucleic acid sequence-dependent amplification technology (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, NASBA), Strand displacement amplification (SDA), helicase-dependent amplification (HDA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), recombinase polymerase amplification Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR).
綜上所述,本案實施例提供一種全功能整合式的核酸分析裝置,其係將流體輸送單元、溫度控制單元、驅動單元及光學單元整合在單一裝置上,使得樣品純化、核酸萃取、核酸擴增及核酸檢測等流程可在此全功能整合式的裝置上進行,以實現即時核酸分析,故本案核酸分析裝置提供了簡便且快速的核酸分析。特別是,本案之溫度控制單元除包括提供等溫擴增所需之單一溫度區間的第一溫度控制單元外,更包括可提供更高加熱溫區以使核酸變性的第二溫度控制單元,故可提升核酸擴增效率。再者,本案之核酸分析裝置包括兩組驅動單元,其中之一為旋轉驅動單元,可驅動卡匣的旋轉,以使每一檢測槽依序與不同的光學單元對位並進行檢測。另一則為線性驅動單元,可驅動流體輸送單元之部分及第二溫度控制單元向上移動並緊密接觸卡匣,以進行核酸萃取等流體處理;並在核酸擴增及檢測階段驅動流體輸送單元之部分及第二溫度控制單元向下移動而與卡匣分離,以利後續卡匣旋轉;更可在核酸檢測完成後將卡匣頂出,以利使用者將卡匣取出。因此,本案之核酸分析裝置可完成自動化的全功能整合檢測,有助於POC診斷,具有極高的產業利用價值。In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a fully functional integrated nucleic acid analysis device, which integrates a fluid delivery unit, a temperature control unit, a driving unit, and an optical unit on a single device to enable sample purification, nucleic acid extraction, and nucleic acid expansion Processes such as augmentation and nucleic acid detection can be performed on this fully functional integrated device to achieve real-time nucleic acid analysis, so the nucleic acid analysis device in this case provides simple and fast nucleic acid analysis.
