Nucleic acid analysis apparatus

A nucleic acid analysis apparatus, comprising:

• a casing having an upper casing and a lower casing;
• a main frame disposed in the lower casing and having a chamber for mounting a cartridge therein;
• a fluid delivery unit disposed in the lower casing and connected with the main frame, being adapted to transport reagents within the cartridge for sample purification and/or nucleic acid extraction;
• a thermal unit disposed on the main frame of the lower casing and adapted to provide a predefined temperature for nucleic acid amplification;
• a driving unit disposed in the lower casing and connected with the main frame, the driving unit comprising a motion control unit capable of pressing the cartridge toward the fluid delivery unit during sample purification and/or nucleic acid extraction and rotating the cartridge with a predefined program during nucleic acid amplification and/or detection;
• and
• at least one optical unit disposed on the main frame of the lower casing and comprising plural optical components for detection.
