Sample analysis device and method for controlling same

Abstract

The present application discloses a sample analysis device and a method for controlling the same. The sample analysis device includes an electrophoresis mechanism and an imaging mechanism. The electrophoresis mechanism includes an electrophoresis component and a mounting component. The electrophoresis component includes a probe, and the probe is configured to contact a chip to apply a voltage to the chip. The mounting component includes a fixing base and a latching assembly; the latching assembly is movably connected to the fixing base, and the latching assembly is configured to abut against or separate from the electrophoresis component. When the latching assembly abuts against the electrophoresis component, the latching assembly locks the electrophoresis component on the mounting component; and when the latching assembly separates from the electrophoresis component, the electrophoresis component is capable of moving relative to the fixing base. The imaging mechanism is configured to, after electrophoretic separation of a sample in the chip is completed, photograph and image the sample. The latching assembly is movably connected to the fixing base. By driving the latching assembly to move, the electrophoresis component can abut against or separate from the latching assembly, thereby making the electrophoresis component easy to disassemble and assemble and convenient to replace, and further facilitating the repair and replacement of the probe.
