[0042] It is worth noting that the body 1 is provided with a gas circulation system inside, which is used for guaranteeing the temperature and humidity requirements of the DNA synthesis environment, and effectively reducing the emission of toxic gas to meet the environmental protection requirements.
[0043] The gas circulation system includes an adsorption box 9 arranged in the ventilation cavity, and the adsorption box 9 is connected with an exhaust duct 2, and the exhaust duct 2 is arranged at the top of the body 1, in this embodiment, the adsorption box 9 includes an adsorption box body, the adsorption box body is hollow inside, and a plurality of air holes are formed in the surface of the adsorption box body, so as to realize the communication between the ventilation cavity and the outside, because the types of reagents used in the synthesis process are different, some will volatilize into the gas inside the body 1, therefore, direct emission is avoided, and the adsorption box body is filled with activated carbon for adsorbing toxic substances.
[0044] Secondly, the adsorption box 9 and the exhaust duct 2 are provided with an air extraction device (not shown in the figure), more specifically, the air extraction end of the air extraction device is connected with the adsorption box 9, and the air outlet end of the air extraction device is connected with the exhaust duct 2, at the same time, the adsorption box 9 is located above the synthesis cavity, when the air extraction device is started, the gas in the synthesis cavity will be adsorbed by the adsorption box 9 and discharged to the outside.
[0045] In addition, the electronic cavity is provided with a drying tube 4, one end (air inlet end) of which is communicated with the outside through the machine body 1, and the other end (air inlet end) is communicated with the synthetic cavity through the first mounting plate, so as to ensure the drying of the gas entering the machine body 1 and provide a stable synthetic environment. The drying tube 4 is provided with silica gel moisture absorbing particles. In actual application, part of the gas in the synthetic cavity will flow into the electronic cavity. Therefore, the upper portion of the electronic cavity is provided with a first axial flow fan 6, the suction end of which is connected to the electronic cavity, and the first axial flow fan 6 is accommodated in the ventilation chamber, so that when the first axial flow fan 6 is turned on, a negative pressure chamber is formed in the electronic cavity, and the gas is discharged into the ventilation chamber.

The first axial flow fan 6, the second axial flow fan 7, the adsorption box 9, the drying tube 4 and the exhaust pipe 2 constitute a complete internal gas circulation system of the machine body 1.
[0046] In addition, in the embodiment, modular concept is adopted to realize liquid adding, synthesis and waste liquid collection, etc., so as to solve the problem of inconvenient expansion of the existing equipment.
[0047] That is, in the embodiment, a moving assembly 10 for moving in XY directions is realized. This kind of setting in the prior art is described more, and will not be repeated here. However, it should be noted that the moving end of the moving assembly 10 for driving the synthesis module 12 to move in Y direction is provided with a tray 11 for mounting the synthesis module 12. The tray 11 is convenient for expanding the synthesis module 12 to provide synthesis flux, that is, the originally single synthesis module 12 is arrayed and copied.
[0048] The specific structure of the CPG synthesis module 12 is referred to Figures 9-16It can be known that the CPG synthesis module 12 comprises a CPG carrier plate 12020, a CPG distribution plate 121 and a drainage plate 122 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the CPG carrier plate 12020, the CPG distribution plate 121 and the drainage plate 122 are locked by bolts 126. Specifically, the CPG carrier plate 12020 comprises a carrier plate body, the upper end of the carrier plate body is recessed inward to form a recessed cavity 130, the lower end of the recessed cavity 130 is arrayed with a plurality of synthesis holes, and the edge of the upper end of the carrier plate body is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 128, the threaded holes 128 are internally provided with the bolts 126, the lower end of the bolt 126 is connected to the distribution plate 121, that is, the position of the distribution plate 121 for connecting the bolt 126 is provided with a connecting hole 12100. It should be noted that the threaded holes 128 and the connecting hole 12100 are not as literally meant, that is, the threaded holes 128 must be provided on the carrier plate body, and the connecting hole 12100 must be provided on the distribution plate 121, which is only for better distinction and exact expression.
[0049] Further, the edge of the upper end of the carrier plate body is provided with a waist-shaped groove 129, and the waist-shaped groove 129 and the threaded holes 128 are arranged alternately. The waist-shaped groove 129 has the following advantages: 1. The CPG carrier plate 12020 in the embodiment is prepared by injection molding process, which meets the technical requirements of uniform wall thickness of the injection molding process; 2. The groove wall of the waist-shaped groove 129 constitutes a rib plate of the carrier plate, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the carrier plate itself.
[0050] In addition, the CPG carrier plate 12020 is made of high-density PP material and is prepared by injection molding process, and a plurality of liquid inlet channels are arrayed on the CPG carrier plate 12020. The liquid inlet channels comprise, in sequence from top to bottom, a liquid inlet section 1200, a transition section 1201 and a CPG carrier section 1202, which are connected in sequence, that is, the lower end of the liquid inlet section 1200 is connected to the upper end 1201 of the transition section 1201, and the lower end of the transition section 1201 is connected to the upper end of the CPG carrier section 1202. In the embodiment, the liquid inlet section 1200, the transition section 1201 and the CPG carrier section 1202 are integrally formed. In an ideal state, the inner surfaces formed by the three sections should be arc surfaces, but based on the technical difficulty in the real scene, the following scheme is adopted: the inner diameter of the liquid inlet section 1200 is greater than the inner diameter of the CPG carrier section 1202, and the inner surface of the transition section 1201 is a bevel. The transition section 1201 has a bevel structure, which is convenient for injection molding and has stable dimensions. At the same time, the transition section 1201 connects the liquid inlet section 1200 and the CPG carrier section 1202 in communication to achieve a buffering effect. In addition, the smooth surface avoids dead angles and is conducive to the flow of reagents and the cleaning of reagents.
[0051] Secondly, the CPG carrier section 1202 is provided with a CPG column a, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The CPG column a shown in the figure only represents the position relationship of being arranged in the synthesis hole 11 and the corresponding distribution plate 2, and the specific relationship will be described again below, so it is not expressed emphatically here, but it should be noted that the CPG column a used in this embodiment is not prepared in advance, but prepared by sintering process, and the specific preparation process is as follows:
[0052] (1) Preparation of raw materials: In this embodiment, 2000 pore CPG powder and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are selected as raw materials, wherein the CPG powder is non-silanized CPG powder (referred to as blank CPG powder);
[0053] (2) Preparation content: A part of the blank CPG powder in the CPG powder is silanized to obtain silanized CPG powder, then the blank CPG powder and the silanized CPG powder are premixed according to the selected CPG molar concentration, and then the premixed blank CPG powder and the silanized CPG powder are premixed with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene to obtain a mixed powder. The mixed powder is sieved into the CPG carrier section 1202 by a vibrating screen, and the CPG column a is prepared by a sintering process, so as to meet the requirement of the integrated structure of the CPG column a and the CPG carrier plate 1.
[0054] Due to the small pore size, if the CPG column a is prepared in advance and filled into the CPG carrier section 1202, the operation requirement will be more strict, and the installation precision of the CPG column a in each synthesis hole will be different due to external factors during installation, which will cause the difference of CPG gas resistance and finally affect the synthesis efficiency and quality of DNA chain.
[0055] Among them, the CPG carrier plate 12020 is prepared by injection molding process, and at the same time, in order to ensure the sintering of the subsequent CPG column a, the inner surface of the liquid inlet channel in this embodiment needs to achieve the effect of mirror high light finish, and then spray Teflon coating to reduce the problem of synthetic reagent infiltrating the hydrophobic surface and reducing the surface residue of synthetic reagent, solve the subsequent cleaning problem, such as: low cleaning efficiency or large amount of cleaning agent.
[0056] In this embodiment, in order to avoid residue of liquid discharge and improve the effect of liquid discharge, the upper end surface of the liquid discharge plate 122 is concave to form a guide cavity 1220, the guide cavity 1220 is provided with a liquid discharge hole 1221 in communication, and the liquid discharge plate 122 is provided with a tracheal connector 123, the tracheal connector 123 is connected to the liquid discharge hole 1221 in a pipeline manner, combined with Figure 10 and Figure 11It can be known that the liquid inlet end of the liquid outlet hole 1221 is arranged at the middle position of the bottom wall of the guide cavity 1220, and the inner wall of the guide cavity 1220 in this embodiment is a slope, the bottom of the slope points to the liquid outlet hole 1221, thereby achieving the purpose of drainage.
[0057] Further, the CPG distribution plate 121 is provided with a plurality of distribution channels 1212, and the liquid outlet ends of the plurality of distribution channels 1212 extend downward, and in the assembled state, the extension parts of the liquid outlet ends of the plurality of distribution channels 1212 are accommodated in the guide cavity 1220, so that the splashing problem during distribution can be effectively avoided.
[0058] At the same time, in order to further improve the sealing effect of the device, the lower end surface of the CPG distribution plate 121 is provided with a sealing ring 125, and the sealing ring 125 is embedded in the upper end surface of the liquid outlet plate 122 during assembly.
[0059] In addition, the device also includes a filter membrane 124 arranged between the CPG carrier plate 120 and the CPG distribution plate 121, and the lower end surface of the filter membrane 124 is pressed against the upper end surface of the CPG distribution plate 121, and in this state, the lower end of the CPG column a in the device abuts against the upper surface of the filter membrane 124.
[0060] In addition, since the synthetic module 12 contains a tracheal joint 123, after expansion, it is equivalent to containing a plurality of tracheal joints 123, and in this embodiment, the gas path of each synthetic module is controlled separately, that is, each tracheal joint 123 is connected with a valve, and the tracheal joint 123 is connected to the vacuum tank, which can be the same or each tracheal joint 123 is connected with one.
[0061] Reference Figures 4-8 It can be known that the quantitative microliter liquid adding module 14 in the device includes a valve seat 140, the front side of the right end surface of the valve seat 140 is provided with a liquid inlet joint 141, the liquid inlet joint 141 is connected with a first valve 143, the first valve 143 is arranged on the front side of the upper end surface of the valve seat 140, and a plurality of second valves 144 are arranged on the rear side of the first valve 143, and according to the front projection direction, the plurality of second valves 144 and the first valve 143 coincide, and a plurality of third valves 145 are arranged on the left end surface of the valve seat 140, in this embodiment, the valve is fixed on the valve seat 140 by bolts, which is convenient for replacement.
[0062] In addition, in this embodiment, the first valve 143, the second valve 144 and the third valve 145 are selected as electromagnetic valves, which can better realize the quantitative liquid adding effect.
[0063] Combining Figures 7-8 It can be known that the direction of the black arrow in the drawing is the flow direction of the reagent in the pipeline, and the valve seat 140 is internally provided with a pipeline system to realize multiple working modes of the liquid adding module 14. The pipeline system specifically includes a main pipeline 1400 which penetrates through the front and rear ends of the valve seat 140, and the main pipeline 1400 is provided with a plug 146 at the positions penetrating through the front and rear ends of the valve seat, so as to ensure the sealing property and avoid liquid leakage.
[0064] Secondly, the liquid inlet connector 141 is connected with a first pipeline 1402, the liquid outlet end of the first pipeline 1402 is connected with a first valve 143, the output end of the first valve 143 is connected with a second pipeline 1401, and the second pipeline 1401 is connected with the main pipeline 1400. It is worth noting that in the embodiment, the input ends of the second valves 144 are all connected with the main pipeline 1400.
[0065] The output end of the second valve 144 is connected with a third pipeline 1402, the third pipeline 1402 is connected with the input end of a third valve 145, the output end of the third valve 145 is connected with a fourth pipeline 1403, and the fourth pipeline 1403 is connected with the liquid outlet connector 142.
[0066] In the actual application scene, the first valve 143 and the second valve 144 are opened, and the third valve 145 is closed. At this time, the reagent is stored in the liquid adding module through the liquid inlet connector 141 and the corresponding pipelines in the pipeline system, and the purpose of quantitative liquid adding is realized through the internal volume of the valve itself and the incompressibility of the liquid.
[0067] It is worth mentioning that when the first valve 143, the second valve 144 and the third valve 145 are all opened, the internal cleaning work of the liquid adding module can be carried out, or the purpose of continuous liquid adding can be realized, but the precision of liquid adding is slightly insufficient.
[0068] Furthermore, in combination Figures 17-20 The device further includes a mounting plate 130, the upper end surface of the mounting plate 130 is bolted with an assembly plate 131, the assembly plate 131 is arrayed with liquid adding needle tubes 132, and the lower ends of the liquid adding needle tubes 132 penetrate through the lower end surface of the mounting plate 130. The mounting plate 130 is used for mounting on a moving assembly to realize the position adjustment of the liquid adding nozzle module.
[0069] It is worth mentioning that by changing the liquid adding needle tube 132 from the traditional integrated structure to the existing segmented structure, the problem of difficult processing of small size whole is solved, as follows: the liquid adding needle tube 132 comprises a first tube body 1320, a second tube body 1322 is inserted at the lower end of the first tube body 1320, and a clamping member 1321 is sleeved on the outside of the lower end of the first tube body 1320.

More specifically, the width of the partition plate 1313 is smaller than the width of the hollow groove 1312, and the purpose of this setting is as follows: first, it is relatively easy to process, and it is more economical in manufacturing cost; second, it provides convenience for subsequent disassembly and replacement of single liquid adding needle tube 132.
[0072] Specifically how to provide convenience for disassembly and replacement of the single liquid adding needle tube 132, the related structure in the specific embodiment is combined to be described, in the embodiment, the elastic pressing plate 133 is built in the empty slot 1312, and the elastic pressing plate 133 realizes the purpose of fixing the part of the pipe body of the liquid adding needle tube 132 contained in the empty slot 1312;
