Description

핵산 증폭장치Nucleic Acid Amplification Device
본 발명은 핵산 증폭 장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 구체적으로는 핵산 증폭시약 혼합물에 온도가 다른 항온블록을 교대로 접촉함으로써 핵산 증폭효율을 높인 핵산 증폭장치에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a nucleic acid amplification apparatus, and more particularly, to a nucleic acid amplification apparatus having increased nucleic acid amplification efficiency by alternately contacting a thermoblock having different temperatures to a nucleic acid amplification reagent mixture.
일반적으로 핵산증폭 기술은 분자단위의 유전자 분석에 있어 매우 중요한 기술로서 인간 유전체 연구, 감염성 및 유전적 질병의 검출 등의 분석에 매우 중요한 기술로 활용되고 있다. 이러한 핵산증폭 기술의 대표적인 기술인 PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction; 중합효소연쇄반응) 방법은 가장 널리 알려진 기술로서, 특정한 핵산서열만을 선택적으로 대량 증폭할 수 있는 기술이다. 일반적인 PCR 방법은 변성(Denaturation) 교잡 (Anealing) 신장 (Extension)의 과정을 반복함으로써 특정한 염기서열을 대량으로 증폭하게 된다. 그러므로 이러한 변성(Denaturation) 교잡 (Anealing) 신장 (Extension)의 과정을 반복하기 위해서는 핵산증폭 시약을 각각의 설정된 온도에 이르도록 변경시켜줘야 한다. 상기한 온도 반복을 위해 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 것이 펠티어(Peltier) 소자를 이용한 것으로서 가열 및 냉각의 온도 순환을 하나의 블록에서 이뤄지도록 함으로써 핵산을 증폭하는 장치가 대표적으로 사용되어지고 있다. 그러나 상기한 블록 자체를 가열 및 냉각을 반복하는 형태의 핵산증폭 장치는 고정밀의 온도제어기술 및 온도를 올리고 내리는데 필요한 시간의 소요됨으로써 장비의 구조가 복잡해지고 반응시간이 늘어나는 등의 문제점이 있다. In general, nucleic acid amplification technology is a very important technique for molecular gene analysis, and is used as an important technique for analysis of human genome research, detection of infectious and genetic diseases, and the like. The PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method, which is a representative technique of the nucleic acid amplification technology, is the most widely known technique, and is a technology capable of selectively amplifying a large amount of a specific nucleic acid sequence only. The general PCR method amplifies a specific sequence in a large amount by repeating the process of denaturation and extension extension. Therefore, in order to repeat this process of denaturation hybridization, the nucleic acid amplification reagents must be changed to reach the respective set temperatures. The most commonly used for the temperature repetition is a Peltier device, and a device for amplifying nucleic acids by heating and cooling the temperature cycle in one block is typically used. However, the nucleic acid amplification apparatus of the type that repeats the heating and cooling of the block itself has problems such as high precision temperature control technology and time required for raising and lowering the temperature, resulting in complicated equipment structure and increased reaction time.
