PCR workstation

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of gene detection equipment, and discloses a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) system. The system comprises: a cabinet; a plurality of PCR instruments arranged in the cabinet; a feeding port formed in the surface of the cabinet and used for placing materials; a material carrying assembly arranged in the cabinet and used for carrying the materials put in from the feeding port to the multiple PCR instruments or moving the materials out from the multiple PCR instruments; and a control unit which is in communication connection with a plurality of the PCRinstruments and the material carrying assembly. According to the PCR workstation, a plurality of groups of PCR experiments are integrated in the cabinet for parallel treatment, and through automatic feeding / discharging and detection of materials, on one hand, the automation degree of the PCR experiments can be improved and the detection efficiency is improved; and on the other hand, centralized treatment is performed on nucleic acid product aerosol of a plurality of the PCR instruments, and the treatment efficiency of the nucleic acid product aerosol is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gene detection equipment, in particular to a PCR workstation. Background technique [0002] Polymerase Chain Reaction (Polymerase Chain Reaction), referred to as PCR, is a molecular biology technique used to amplify and amplify specific DNA fragments, and is used to amplify specific DNA fragments. PCR can be regarded as a special DNA replication in vitro, and its biggest feature is that it can greatly increase a small amount of DNA. [0003] Existing PCR laboratories often purchase multiple PCR machines, and operators manually put the prepared materials into each PCR machine, record the data and take out the materials after running the PCR program. This mode of operation needs to rely on the operator to coordinate the operation of each PCR instrument, and complete the material handling and data recording work, resulting in a relatively low degree of automation. Once the business volume increases, insuff...

Problems solved by technology

This mode of operation needs to rely on the operator to coordinate the operation of each PCR instrument, and complete the material handling and data recording work, resulting in a relatively low degree of automation

Once the business volume increases, insufficient staffing or insufficient personnel skills will easily lead to the detection capability being limited by the personnel status of the detection team, which will affect the detection efficiency

[0004] In addition, PCR experiments will produce aerosols of nucleic acid products. In order to prevent the pollution caused by the diffusion of aerosols containing nucleic acid products, it is necessary to deal with the aerosols quickly after they are generated. However, it is difficult to effectively treat the aerosols produced by multiple PCR machines that are scattered. , easy to cause nucleic acid aerosol pollution
