Definitions
- the present invention is used in an automatic purifying apparatus and an automatic purifying apparatus that separates a target substance reversibly bound to magnetic particles by using magnetic particles to separate each target substance contained in the solution from a large number of biological sample solutions.
- an automatic purifying apparatus and an automatic purifying apparatus that separates a target substance reversibly bound to magnetic particles by using magnetic particles to separate each target substance contained in the solution from a large number of biological sample solutions.
- the present invention also relates to a method for extracting nucleic acid from a biological sample using the above-described automatic purification device.
- This solid phase extraction method is a method of using solid particles prepared by using a solid having a selectivity or by attaching a ligand having a high selectivity to a solid phase. This method first dissolves the biological sample in a solution to which the target material is selectively attached, then attaches the target material to the solid, separates the solid from the solution, washes off the remaining liquid remaining in the solid, and removes other impurities. This is the principle of peeling back into solution.
- Solid phase extraction has been used by filling solid particles in a column or by filling a filter membrane in a column.
- a filter-type membrane is used when there are few fine particles or samples having a large surface area to increase the adhesion capacity.
- the solution flows very slowly between the fine pores when the membrane is filled with such fine particles or using a filter type membrane. Therefore, in order to flow the solution quickly, the gravity is increased by using a centrifuge or a pressure difference is applied by applying pressure or vacuum.
- centrifugation is difficult to automate.
- the method of pressurizing or vacuuming can be relatively simple to automate, but when handling a large number of samples, there is a problem that a difference between samples occurs due to a difference in the flow rate of the solution between the samples.
- biochemicals can be rapidly attached in a suspension state of a solution, magnetic fields can be applied to agglomerate magnetic particles attached to a target material, and then a solution can be removed.
- the technology has been developed since the 1970s because it can be easily separated. (USP 3,970,518 USP 3,985,649) This method is simple to automate, and various devices have been developed for separating target materials using magnetic particles.
- the method of separating the target material from the biochemical mixed solution using the magnetic particles can be divided into three stages: target material attachment step, solution removal and washing step, and target material desorption step.
- target material attachment step For automation, specific operations must be performed to perform these steps. These steps appear to be complex, but when broken down into magnetic particles, they are compressed in two ways. First, the operation of uniformly suspending the magnetic particles into the solution results in the operation of agglomerating the magnetic particles suspended in the solution.
- Magnetic fields are either permanent magnets or electromagnets.
- permanent magnets have the advantage of applying a strong magnetic field without heat, unlike electromagnets.
- permanent magnets cannot switch on / off magnetic flux like electromagnets, they are disadvantageous in automation in that they must be physically moved between the magnetic particle solution and the magnet.
- the position where the magnetic particles are aggregated changes depending on the position of applying the magnetic field. Since the magnetic particle aggregation position is important for efficiently removing a solution, technologies related to these positions have been developed. Separators using magnetic particles have been developed with many applications in diagnostic test equipment and nucleic acid extraction equipment. A method for agglomerating and resuspending magnetic particles on the bottom of a 96 well plate was developed by Paster Sanofi Dianoastic (USP 5,558,839). This method also causes loss of magnetic particles at the bottom to completely remove the solution from the bottom. There was a problem.
- a technology for using a two-dimensional array of rods and seals in a core bio system was developed as an automatic extraction device for processing a plurality of samples such as a sample contained in a 96 well plate (Korea Patent 10-0720044).
- the technology is to install each solution in a certain position, and then selectively attach and wash, finally separating the target material from the magnetic particles in the final solution to separate the desired material. Therefore, there is a hassle to transfer the sample from the last solution in the cartridge back to the desired storage container.
- the target material since the target material is attached to the seal and moved, care must be taken not to contaminate the surface during initial setting, and it is cumbersome to set each seal and the solution cartridge one by one.
- the 994 patent first proposes to disperse / collect magnetic particles by switching a magnetic field by moving a magnetic rod, which is protected by a seal, up and down in the center of the pipette to prevent contact with the solution.
- This is a prior art underlying the US patent 6,040,192 patents registered by the same company.
- the 950 patent contains claims 1 and 2 as main means for separating the magnetic particles from the first solution containing the magnetic particles and for delivering the magnetic particles to the second solution.
- Claim 1 provides a first separation chamber, wherein a tubular shape defined as a separation chamber is connected in series to a jet channel, the jet channel being defined as a flow inlet at the end of the tube and having a diameter smaller than the separation chamber; Providing a magnetic element providing a magnetic field; Suctioning the first solution through the jet channel through the flow inlet into the separation chamber; Aligning the magnetic element in a first position adjacent to the outside of the separation chamber and in a second position in the separation chamber; Aligning the first position and the collecting surface of the magnetic element, aligning the second position, activating the magnetic element under the influence of the magnetic field of the magnetic element so that the magnetic particles gather in one interior of the separation chamber from the first solution; Activating the magnetic element and then removing the first solution through the jet channel to the flow inlet; Drawing the second solution through the jet channel into the flow inlet after removing the first solution; After drawing the second solution, aligned with the collecting surface of the magnetic element in the first position, and in the second position, the magnetic particles are no
- Claim 2 of the separating means for carrying out this step is a tubular claim.
- the component is a tubular one connected in series to the jet channel, the jet channel being defined as the flow inlet at the end of the tube and having a diameter smaller than the separation chamber;
- the first position is adjacent to the outside of the dividing wall and the second position is within the separation chamber range.
- magnetic particles can be collected under the influence of the magnetic field, and in the second position. Is aligned as it can no longer hold magnetic particles;
- the tubular shape is the second part connected in series with the cylindrical separation chamber.
- the separation chamber is separated from the jet channel, and the cylinder channel is equipped with a movable piston to suck and push liquid into the separation chamber.
- Precission Systems Science Inc. proposes a method of attaching and detaching magnetic materials used in immunochemical analyzers using magnetic particles in US Pat. No. 5,702,950 (priority 14, 1994). Analyzers using this technology have been separately filed in US Pat. No. 6,231,814. This method also attaches the magnetic particles to the pipette, basically the principle is the same as US Patent 5,647,994. The difference is that the magnet is attached and detached from one direction of the pipette to control the magnetic field in one direction of the tip.
- a pipette means having a liquid suction line including a liquid inlet capable of sucking liquid and discharging liquid containing a magnetic particle from the container, and a magnet attachable to the outer surface of the liquid suction line of the pipette means Providing a body, or magnet bodies;
- the magnets are attracted and retained, and the magnetic field of the magnets attracts and retains the magnetic material in the liquid suction line to the inner wall of the pipette means.
- By interfering with the magnetic field it releases the magnetic material in the solution of the solution suction line, so that the magnetic material and the solution come out of the solution inlet.

- Example 4 has a nucleic acid separation step (S19).
- Example 4 has a nucleic acid collection step (S20).
- the nucleic acid elution solution and the magnetic particles containing the nucleic acid separated from the magnetic particles are sucked into the pipettes (141, 142, see FIG. 2), and the upper portion of the sample storage tube 442 is provided. It is located at. Referring to FIG. 2, the nucleic acid solution containing the nucleic acid separated from the magnetic particles and the magnetic particles are discharged from the pipettes 141 and 142 to the sample storage tube 442 by the lower movement of the piston 120.
- a third discharge pressure is applied to the pipettes 141 and 142, and at the same time, the nucleic acid solution containing the nucleic acid separated from the magnetic particles and the magnetic particles are discharged from the pipettes 141 and 142 by the third discharge pressure.
- the magnetic field is applied to the pipettes 141 and 142 using the magnet mounting portions 191 and 192 so as to remain inside the pipettes 141 and 142. Therefore, in the nucleic acid collection step (S20), the nucleic acid elution solution containing the nucleic acid separated from the magnetic particles and the nucleic acid elution solution containing the nucleic acid separated from the magnetic particles excluding the magnetic particles among the magnetic particles are the sample storage tube 442 Are collected). That is, the nucleic acid elution solution containing the nucleic acid is collected in the sample storage tube 442.
- the magnetic particles are washed using a washing solution containing 10 to 90% alcohol in the first removal step (S16).
- the alcohol contained in the washing solution is left in trace amounts in the magnetic particles after the first removal step (S16). If the alcohol remaining in the magnetic particles is eluted with the nucleic acid in the nucleic acid elution process using the nucleic acid elution solution, these enzymes react directly or indirectly with the enzymes used in the polymerase chain reaction, real-time polymerase chain reaction, sequencing reaction, or the like. This will cause a decrease in performance and sensitivity. Therefore, the alcohol in the washing solution remaining in trace amounts in the magnetic particles must be completely removed before the nucleic acid elution process using the nucleic acid elution solution. Therefore, in Example 4, the alcohol in the washing solution remaining in the magnetic particles in the second removal step (S18) is removed.
