Cartridge for virus detection and system for virus detection

A system for virus detection, the system comprising:

• a cartridge;
• and
• a tray into which the cartridge is mounted,
• wherein the cartridge includes:
• a sample chamber capable of accommodating therein a sample solution containing therein magnetic beads capable of fixing a virus thereto, wherein a control hole is formed at the sample chamber;
• a lysis chamber connected to the sample chamber via a channel and capable of receiving the sample solution therefrom, wherein a lysis reaction is carried out in the lysis chamber;
• and
• a detection flow path having one or more first degassing holes formed at a downstream end thereof, wherein the detection flow path is capable of extracting the sample solution free of the magnetic beads from the lysis chamber under a negative pressure generated by an interaction between the control hole and the first degassing hole, and of detecting the virus therefrom,
• wherein the tray includes:
• a magnetic force applicator disposed adjacent to the lysis chamber to apply a magnetic force to the magnetic bead to fix the magnetic bead thereto when the cartridge has been mounted into the tray;
• a negative pressure pump capable of applying the negative pressure to the first degassing hole;
• an actuator capable of controlling opening and closing of the control hole;
• and
• a controller capable of operating the magnetic force applicator, the negative pressure pump, and the actuator according to a predetermined order and timing.
