Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, in particular to a control device and method for a gene sequencer and a gene sequencer. Background technique [0002] With the development of gene sequencing technology, gene sequencers have made great progress in system integration and sequencing time. The gene sequencer is an automatic sequencing instrument centered on the core controller, which is composed of a mechanical device, a liquid circuit control platform, a biochemical reaction platform, an optical and electronic platform, a biochip platform, and electronic communication. Among them, the core controller can control each platform through the communication interface, so that each platform can work together and realize the automation of the sequencing process. [0003] At present, the controller architecture in a gene sequencer mainly includes a PC (Personal Computer, personal computer) controller and an embedded controller....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the embedded controller controls the corresponding devices to perform these operations, it must receive control instructions from the PC controller, analyze them, and then execute them, which leads to communication delays and the inability of each device to respond quickly

In addition, the interaction between the PC controller and the embedded controller and between the two controllers and other devices in the gene sequencer is too frequent, and the task distribution at all levels of the controller is unreasonable

The above situation will cause the sequencing process to take too long, resulting in a low throughput of the gene sequencer

Therefore, the controller architecture in current gene sequencers still needs to be improved
