  • the post-heating adhesive layer 104 ⁇ / b> D is a layer generated so as to firmly bond the sealing film 104 and the wiping filter 129 ⁇ / b> A when the sealing film 104 is heated.
  • an annular region 128B (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a flange portion) surrounding the center of the opening of the recess 128A is higher than the surface on which the reagent well portion 120 is formed. For this reason, when the sealing film 104 is adhered, the heating portion is reduced, and generation of wrinkles or damage of the sealing film 104 can be prevented.
  • the oil removal part 128 has the flange part 128B, the oil removal part 128 does not need to have the flange part 128B.
  • the contact region 301 of the heat bar 300 (see FIG. 7C) with respect to the sealing film 104 is preferably an annular region 128B surrounding the center of the opening of the recess 128A.
  • the sealing film 104 and the wiping filter 129A are in an unwelded or weakly welded state near the center of the opening of the recess 128A.
  • the vicinity of the center of the opening of the recess 128A is an area where the dispensing tip 201 is assumed to be inserted, and in this embodiment, a cut portion 129C is arranged as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B.
  • the region where the cut portion 129C is arranged is not welded or is weakly welded, a force required to penetrate the sealing film 104 for inserting the dispensing tip 201 into the cut portion 129C can be reduced. Furthermore, since the region near the center of the opening of the recess 128A is not welded or weakly welded, the portion of the wiping filter 129A near the center of the opening of the recess 128A has a weld layer 104C that becomes the adhesive layer 104D after heating. There are few components (refer FIG. 8B). For this reason, the absorptivity with respect to the oil etc. used as an excess liquid does not fall easily. Note that the weld layer 104C may be uniformly formed on the wiping filter 129A.
  • the oil 127A is absorbed by the filter 129A in the oil removing unit 128 provided in the reagent cartridge 100. Therefore, the oil 127A attached to the outer surface of the dispensing tip 201 can be suitably removed with a simple configuration.

  • the nucleic acid purification kit 10 includes the oil removing unit 128, the oil 127A attached to the outer peripheral surface of the tip 201A of the dispensing tip 201 can be removed by the wiping filter 129A of the oil removing unit 128. It is possible to prevent the liquid from unintentionally adhering to the wall of the reaction vessel and the like, and to improve the accuracy and reproducibility when examining nucleic acids.
  • the wiping filter 129A has elasticity, the oil 127A attached to the outer surface of the dispensing tip 201 can be wiped off by pressing the wiping filter 129A against the outer surface of the dispensing tip 201. Furthermore, since the wiping filter 129A is formed of a porous material, the oil 127A can be suitably absorbed and held in the wiping filter 129A. For this reason, even if the wiping filter 129A is used a plurality of times, the oil 127A can be suitably absorbed.
  • the reagent and filter unit necessary for extracting the nucleic acid and the oil removing unit 128 are provided inside the reagent cartridge 100 and integrated as a kit. Therefore, since only the operation of adding the specimen to the sample well 110 and setting it in the automatic analyzer is performed manually, the genetic test can be performed easily. Further, since the waste liquid well 130 is integrally provided in the reagent cartridge 100, the reagent cartridge 100 may be simply removed from the automatic analyzer and discarded after the genetic test is completed. For this reason, waste liquid processing is simple and there is no possibility that the surroundings will be contaminated by residual liquid such as a subject.
  • Example 1 The sealing film 104 is welded to the wiping filter 129A, and the reagent cartridge 100 of this embodiment that holds the wiping filter 129A in the recess 128A, and the sealing film 104 is wiped without being welded to the wiping filter 129A.
  • the case where the filter 129A was arranged as disclosed in Patent Document 3 was compared. Both the reagent cartridge 100 of this example and the technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 were able to remove the excess liquid (oil) using the wiping filter 129A satisfactorily.
  • Example 2 The example which welded with respect to the flange part 128B of 128 A of recessed parts is shown regarding the area
  • the region near the center of the opening of the recess 128A is in a welded state weaker than the state in which the heat bar 300 is in contact because the heat bar 300 is not in contact. This difference in the welded state is reflected in the difference in force required for penetrating the sealing film 104 using the dispensing tip 201.
