Abstract
A cartridge 100 for nucleic acid detection is provided with: a first member 110 having multiple nucleic acid extraction wells; a second member 120 having a nucleic acid amplification and determination well for amplification of a nucleic acid and detection of the amplified nucleic acid; and multiple reagent containers 130. The multiple reagent containers 130 are fixed between the first member 110 and the second member 120.
Claims19
A cartridge for nucleic acid detection which is used in an apparatus for extracting nucleic acids from a specimen, amplifying the extracted nucleic acids and detecting the amplified nucleic acids, the cartridge comprising:
- a first member provided with a plurality of nucleic acid extraction wells, the first member comprising at least one nucleic acid extraction well having at least one nucleic acid extraction reagent sealed therein in advance;
- a second member provided with a nucleic acid amplification/determination well for amplifying the nucleic acids and determining the amplified nucleic acids;
- and
- one or a plurality of reagent containers having one or a plurality of nucleic acid amplification reagents sealed therein in advance,
- wherein the one or the plurality of reagent containers are fixed so as to be a part of the first member and/or the second member, thereby integrating the first member, the second member and the plurality of reagent containers, and
- wherein the one or the plurality of reagent containers is fixed to the first member and the second member by being vertically sandwiched between the first member and the second member.
