Multi-chamber cartridge and nucleic acid extraction module comprising the same

A multi-chamber cartridge, comprising:

• a sample chamber comprising a hollow elongated first tube, a sample chamber body in which a mixing space is formed and one end of the first tube is disposed in the mixing space, a first pressure gasket coupled to an inside of the first tube and is configured to be movable along an inner peripheral surface of the first tube, a first separation gasket which is disposed below a first surface of the first pressure gasket, coupled to the inside of the first tube and configured to be movable along the inner peripheral surface of the first tube, and a first plunger having a first end coupled to a second surface of the first pressure gasket and pressing the first pressure gasket;
• and
• a cartridge body which comprises an accommodating part in which the sample chamber is detachably accommodated,
• wherein the first tube comprises a first sample space which is defined by a first inner surface of the first tube, a first surface of the first separation gasket and the first surface of the first pressure gasket,
• wherein a sample is placed in the mixing space,
• wherein a first sample is placed in the first sample space, and
• wherein the first sample is transferred to the mixing space as the first separation gasket is separated from the first tube and as the other end of the first plunger is pressed toward the mixing space.
