Fully automated microarray processing system

An apparatus for automatically performing biochemical reaction of a reaction region of a microarray and a biological sample solution disposed therebetween, comprising:

• a microarray housing assembly module, comprising an accommodating room utilized to receive the biological sample solution with bubbles therein;
• an incubation module utilized to rotatably carry the microarray housing assembly module;
• and
• at least one automated transport module comprising a robot with at least two degrees of freedom, wherein the robot mechanically holds the microarray housing assembly module received with the microarray, the biological sample solution and the bubbles for accessing the microarray housing assembly module to the incubation module, wherein the microarray housing assembly module further comprises a first mold plate utilized to receive the biological sample solution, a second mold plate utilized to position the microarray, and a gasket disposed between the first and second mold plates, wherein the accommodating room is formed by the gasket, the first mold plate, and the microarray disposed between the first and second mold plates.

An apparatus for automatically cleaning a microarray attached with a biological sample solution disposed thereon by at least one cleaning fluids, comprising:

• a microarray housing assembly module, comprising an accommodating room utilized to receive the biological sample solution with bubbles therein;
• an incubation module utilized to rotatably carry the microarray housing assembly module;
• a washing module, comprising at least one tank containing the cleaning fluid;
• and
• at least one automated transport module comprising a robot with at least two degrees of freedom, wherein the robot mechanically removes the microarray housing assembly module from the incubation module and accessing the reacted microarray to the tank of the washing module, wherein the biological sample solution located on the immersed microarray is washed by the cleaning fluid of the tank of the washing module, wherein the incubation module comprises at least one carrier utilized to fix the microarray and rotated about at least one axis, a reaction region of the microarray received in the incubation module is substantially perpendicular to the axis, and the axis is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane and the microarray housing assembly module further comprises a first mold plate utilized to receive the biological sample solution, a second mold plate utilized to position the microarray, and a gasket disposed between the first and second mold plates, wherein the accommodating room is formed by the gasket, the first mold plate, the microarray disposed between the first and second mold plates.
