This application is a National Stage Patent Application of PCT International Patent Application No. PCT/KR2011/008100 (filed on Oct. 27, 2011) under 35 U.S.C. §371, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0105630 (filed on Oct. 27, 2010) which are all hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to an automatic real-time quantitative amplification system which can perform analysis of various biological samples, and more particularly to an automatic real-time quantitative amplification system in which a plurality of decks for respectively accommodating biological samples are put in a deck storing/transferring device, whereby it is possible to automatically analyze an amount or existence of a target substance containing a target nucleic acid in the biologic sample, such as a particular gene, a particular, a particular pathogenic bacterium and a particular protein, by amplifying the target nucleic acid purified by some processes of purification, purification after culture, or purification after reaction of the target substance contained in the biological sample and then checking an amount of the amplified target nucleic acid.
The present invention relates to an automatic real-time quantitative amplification system which can automatically perform various analyses of microorganisms contained in a biological sample, that is, which cultures the microorganisms contained in the multiple biological samples in an automatic deck, purifies nucleic acids from each microorganism, dispenses the purified nucleic acids to a multi-well plate for real-time quantitative PCR reaction, and then performs quantitative amplification and comparative analysis, thereby performing quantitative/qualitative analysis of the microorganism contained in the biological sample. The present invention relates to a system in which, in order to carry out antibiotics susceptibility tests, a constant amount of biological sample is injected into each well of the multi-well plate that various antibiotics are accommodated therein, and automatically cultured for a desired period of time, and then comparative analysis is performed by using a relative quantitative method for growth in a culture medium containing the antibiotics through automatic nucleic acid purification and real-time quantitative PCR, thereby rapidly obtaining results of the antibiotics susceptibility tests.
