[0002] In a pipetting workstation, after the nucleic acid extraction and library construction processes are completed, nucleic acid fragments caused by residual aerosol or splashing will remain on the inner wall of the instrument. If these nucleic acid fragments are not processed, it is highly likely that they will contaminate new batches of samples in the next experiment, thus affecting the accuracy of the sequencing results. Currently, the general method for disinfecting and sterilizing residual nucleic acids is manual wiping, that is, dipping a wiping cloth in a nucleic acid removal reagent and then manually wiping the inner wall of the instrument with the wiping cloth, or spraying the nucleic acid removal reagent on the inner wall of the instrument with a manual sprayer and then drying it with a wiping cloth.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope protected by the present application.
[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.
[0034] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the nucleic acid extraction process. AsFigure 1 As shown, the nucleic acid extraction provided by the embodiments of the present application is a technology for separating nucleic acids from biological samples by physical, chemical, biological methods or a combination of the above methods. It is mainly used to separate nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA or RNA) in biological samples from the biological samples for subsequent experimental analysis, such as sequencing analysis.
[0035] Taking the separation by chemical method as an example, by lysing the sample cells with a cell lysate, nucleic acid molecules can be released from the sample cells. The nucleic acid molecules and impurities such as proteins coexist in the lysate solution. If pure nucleic acid molecules are to be obtained, the lysate needs to be further purified. Taking the purification by magnetic bead method as an example, magnetic beads are added to the lysate. The nucleic acid molecules released from the sample cells are specifically adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic beads, while impurities such as proteins are not adsorbed and remain in the lysate. After reacting for a certain time, under the action of a magnetic field, the magnetic beads adsorbed with nucleic acid molecules are separated from the solution. Then, the magnetic beads adsorbed with nucleic acid molecules are washed with a washing solution to wash away impurities such as proteins. At the same time, for thorough washing, the washing can be repeated multiple times. The pure magnetic beads adsorbed with nucleic acid molecules are recovered. Finally, by eluting with an eluent, the adsorption between the nucleic acid molecules and the magnetic beads is released. After reacting for a certain time, again under the action of a magnetic field, the magnetic beads and the nucleic acid molecules are separated. After removing the magnetic beads, only pure nucleic acid molecules remain in the nucleic acid extraction product.
[0036] Furthermore, the embodiments of the present application provide quality control of nucleic acid extraction products. It is very important to detect the concentration (or perform concentration quantitative analysis) of nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA or RNA) in the nucleic acid extraction product solution. Usually, there are certain requirements for the total amount of nucleic acids required in the subsequent library construction process. Once the actual nucleic acid input amount exceeds the total amount of nucleic acids required in the subsequent library construction process, it will affect the amplification efficiency during library construction. Therefore, before library construction, it is also necessary to detect the nucleic acid concentration in the nucleic acid extraction product. After detecting the nucleic acid concentration, the total amount of the required nucleic acid extraction product can be further determined according to the nucleic acid concentration and the total amount of nucleic acids required in the subsequent library construction process. And when the detected nucleic acid concentration is too high, it will cause the total amount of the required nucleic acid extraction product to be lower than the minimum pipetting volume of the pipetting device and affect the pipetting accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately dilute the nucleic acid extraction product with a diluent (such as pure water) before pipetting. Several common concentration detection methods include, for example, spectrophotometry, fluorescent dye detection method, microfluidic analysis method, or capillary gel electrophoresis method.
[0037] Furthermore, the embodiments of the present application provide library construction. In next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA or RNA) extracted from biological samples need to be fragmented physically or enzymatically. For example, they can be fragmented by ultrasonic waves. After fragmentation, nucleic acid fragments are formed. First, the ends of the nucleic acid fragments are filled in with enzymes, and then specific DNA sequences (usually referred to as adapters) are ligated to the ends of the fragments using specific enzymes. Finally, the formed nucleic acid fragments are called libraries in the industry.
[0038] To save sequencing costs, generally, multiple biological samples are sequenced simultaneously in a sequencer. To distinguish the sequencing results of different samples, when preparing libraries of different samples, a DNA sequence (usually containing 6 - 8 bases) that can identify the source of the sample is included in the adapter. This DNA sequence that can identify the source of the sample can also be called a sample tag (or Index, Barcode). It can be understood that each sample's library adapter contains its exclusive sample tag.
[0039] Furthermore, the embodiments of the present application provide quality control of library construction products. The quality of the constructed library is crucial for the quality of the data generated by subsequent gene sequencing. Therefore, before sequencing on the machine, it is also necessary to detect and control the quality of the library in the library construction products. Usually, library quality detection includes at least one of library length detection, library concentration detection, and library contaminant detection. Among them, through library concentration detection (or concentration quantitative analysis), the library concentration can be detected. When the detected library concentration is too high, it will cause the total amount of library construction products required for subsequent sequencing to be lower than the minimum pipetting volume of the pipetting device and affect the pipetting accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to add a diluent (such as pure water) to the library construction products for appropriate dilution before pipetting. In addition, due to the differences in the library concentrations of multiple biological samples and the differences in the sequencing data output, the total amounts of library construction products of multiple biological samples required for subsequent sequencing are different, which ultimately affects the balance of the sequencing data output of multiple biological samples. Therefore, it is also necessary to add a diluent (such as pure water) to the library construction products of some biological samples for dilution before pipetting to narrow the gap between the total amounts of library construction products of multiple biological samples. Common concentration detection methods include, for example, spectrophotometry, fluorescent dye detection, microfluidic analysis, or capillary gel electrophoresis.
[0040] Here, it should be noted that for the quality control of library construction products and the quality control of nucleic acid extraction products, the concentration detection can use the same method or different methods respectively. The present application does not make any limitations in this regard.
[0041] Figure 2It is a schematic structural diagram of the gene sequencing pretreatment system in the embodiments of the present application. Further, the gene sequencing pretreatment system (or sequencing pretreatment instrument) provided by the embodiments of the present application includes: a nucleic acid extraction system 10, a library construction system 20, a quality control system 30, an electric control system 40, and a host computer 50. Among them:
[0042] The nucleic acid extraction system 10 is configured to controllably release nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA or RNA) from biological samples;
[0043] The library construction system 20 is configured to controllably prepare nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA or RNA) into libraries for on-machine sequencing;
[0044] The quality control system 30 is configured to controllably detect the concentration of nucleic acid molecules in the nucleic acid extraction products and adjust the concentration of nucleic acid molecules to a pre-required concentration range according to the detection results, and / or controllably detect the concentration of the libraries in the library construction products and adjust the concentration of the libraries to a pre-required concentration range according to the detection results;
[0045] The electric control system 40 is configured to control the operation and work of the nucleic acid extraction system 10, the library construction system 20, and the quality control system 30 according to the instructions of the host computer 50;
[0046] The host computer 50 is configured to control the operation and work of the nucleic acid extraction system 10, the library construction system 20, and the quality control system 30 by sending control instructions to the electric control system 40.
[0047] Among them, for the nucleic acid extraction system 10, taking chemical separation and magnetic bead purification as an example, the nucleic acid extraction system 10 at least includes a nucleic acid extraction platform and a magnetic rod / magnetic rod sleeve assembly. Among them, an extraction operation container (such as a single reagent strip or a deep well plate) and a heating device (such as a heating block) are arranged on the nucleic acid extraction platform. In addition to accommodating one or more reagents required for nucleic acid extraction (such as cell lysate, washing solution, elution solution), the extraction operation container can also accommodate biological samples and magnetic particles (such as magnetic beads), and provide a reaction space for various chemical reactions (such as lysis reaction, washing reaction, elution reaction) during nucleic acid extraction; the heating device can provide suitable reaction temperatures and reaction conditions for various chemical reactions occurring in the extraction operation container. The magnetic rod sleeve is sleeved on the magnetic rod to prevent the magnetic rod from directly contacting the nucleic acid extraction reagent and corroding the magnetic rod. When the magnetic rod / magnetic rod sleeve assembly enters the extraction operation container through the movement mechanism, it can provide a necessary magnetic field environment for the washing reaction and elution reaction during nucleic acid extraction.
[0048] It should be noted here that the nucleic acid extraction system 10 can batch-process nucleic acid extraction of multiple biological samples.
[0049] For the quality control system 30, such as Figure 3As shown, the quality control system 30 at least includes a quantitative analyzer 31, a quality control operating hand component 32 ( Figure 3 only its working area is shown), a conveying mechanism 33, a quality control pipetting component 34 ( Figure 3 only its working area is shown), a construction reaction container 35, a quality control container 36, and a detection reagent container 37. It should be noted that Figure 3 this is only schematic and should not be construed as a limitation on the positions of the respective parts.
[0050] Among them, the construction reaction container 35 (such as a microplate) can accommodate nucleic acid extraction products and library construction products, and further provide a reaction space for some chemical reactions during the library construction process; the quality control container 36 (such as a centrifuge tube) can accommodate the test substance and can be placed in the quantifier for detection; the detection reagent container 37 (such as a reagent kit) can accommodate one or more reagents required for the quantitative analyzer 31 to perform concentration detection and a diluent for adjusting the concentrations of nucleic acid extraction products and library construction products. The construction reaction container 35, the quality control container 36, and the detection reagent container 37 are respectively located in their respective storage areas, the quality control operating hand component 32 and the quality control pipetting component 34 work in their respective working areas, the storage area of the quality control container 36 is within the working area of the quality control operating hand component 32, and the storage areas of the construction reaction container 35 and the quality control reagent container 37 are within the working area of the quality control pipetting component 34. A conveying mechanism 33 is provided between the working area of the quality control operating hand component 32 and the working area of the quality control pipetting component 34, and the conveying mechanism 33 can reciprocally convey the quality control container 36 between the working area of the quality control operating hand component 32 and the working area of the quality control pipetting component 34.
[0051] Before the quality control starts, the quality control operating hand component 32 is responsible for taking out the quality control container 36 from the storage area of the quality control container 36 and placing it on the conveying mechanism 33. The conveying mechanism 33 conveys the quality control container 36 to the working area of the quality control pipetting component 34. The quality control pipetting component 34 is responsible for sucking a certain amount of detection reagent from the detection reagent container 37 and adding it to the quality control container 36. Then, the conveying mechanism 33 conveys the quality control container 36 (already added with the detection reagent) back to the working area of the quality control operating hand component 32, and the quality control operating hand component 32 is then responsible for putting the quality control container 36 (already added with the detection reagent) back into the storage area of the quality control container 36.
[0052] In addition, if it is the quality control of nucleic acid extraction products, the quality control pipetting component 34 is also responsible for sucking nucleic acid extraction products from the extraction operation container and adding them to the construction reaction container 35.
[0053] After the quality control starts, the quality control operator component 32 is responsible for taking out the quality control container 36 (already added with the detection reagent) from the storage area of the quality control container 36 and placing it on the transfer mechanism 33. The transfer mechanism 33 transfers the quality control container 36 (already added with the detection reagent) to the working area of the quality control pipetting component 34. The quality control pipetting component 34 is responsible for sucking a certain amount of nucleic acid extraction product / library construction product from the construction reaction container 35 and adding it to the quality control container 36, and then stirring it evenly. Then, the transfer mechanism 33 transfers the quality control container 36 (which has been added with the detection reagent and nucleic acid extraction product / library construction product successively) back to the working area of the quality control operator component 32. The quality control operator component 32 is then responsible for putting the quality control container 36 (which has been added with the detection reagent and nucleic acid extraction product / library construction product successively) back into the storage area of the quality control container 36.
[0054] After the detection reagent and nucleic acid extraction product / library construction product in the quality control container 36 react for a period of time, the quality control operator component 32 is responsible for taking out the quality control container 36 from the storage area of the quality control container 36 and putting it into the quantitative analyzer 31 for concentration detection. After the detection is completed, the quality control operator component 32 is then responsible for taking out the quality control container 36 and putting it back into the storage area.
[0055] If the detected nucleic acid molecule concentration / library concentration is higher than the required concentration, the quality control pipetting component 34 is also responsible for sucking a certain amount of pure water from the detection reagent container 37 and adding it to the construction reaction container 37 for dilution.
[0056] It should be noted here that the quality control system 30 can perform quality control processing on the nucleic acid extraction products / library construction products of multiple biological samples in batches. In the scenario of batch processing, the quality control operator component 32 can take and place the quality control containers 36 one by one in sequence, or can take and place multiple quality control containers 36 in one batch; correspondingly, the transfer mechanism 33 can transfer the quality control containers 36 one by one, or can transfer multiple quality control containers 36 in one batch; the quality control pipetting component 34 can be a single-channel pipetting component, sucking the detection reagent successively and adding it to the quality control container 36 successively, or can be a multi-channel pipetting component, sucking the detection reagent in one batch and adding it to multiple quality control containers 36 in one batch, and can be freely set according to the occupied space and working efficiency. Figure 2 Just for an example, in this example, the quality control operator component 32 takes and places the quality control containers 36 one by one. There are two container positions set on the transfer mechanism 33, and each can transfer one quality control container 36 in the opposite direction reciprocally. The quality control pipetting component 34 is a single-channel pipetting component.
[0057] In one implementable manner, the quality control pipetting assembly 34 can be a pipette (or a liquid transfer pump). To cooperate with the operation of the pipette, a pipette tip for liquid transfer also needs to be equipped for the pipette. When the liquid transfer operation starts, the pipette sleevs the pipette tip on the pipette tip adapter at its end. After the liquid transfer operation is completed, the pipette then detaches the pipette tip from the pipette tip adapter at its end. Correspondingly, the quality control system 30 is also provided with a pipette tip storage area, such as Figure 3 as shown
[0058] For the library construction system 20, as Figure 4 shown, the library construction system 20 at least includes a PCR instrument 21, a library construction manipulator assembly ( Figure 4 only its working area is shown in the figure), a library construction pipetting assembly ( Figure 4 only its working area is shown in the figure), a library construction reagent container 22, a shaking and heating assembly 23, and a magnet assembly 24. It should be noted that Figure 4 this is only schematic and should not be construed as a limitation on the positions of the respective parts
[0059] Among them, the library construction reagent container 22 (such as a reagent kit) can accommodate one or more reagents required for library construction. The library construction reagent container 22, the shaking and heating assembly 23, and the magnet assembly 24 are respectively located in their respective storage areas, and their respective storage areas are all within the working area ranges of the library construction manipulator assembly and the library construction pipetting assembly. The storage area of the library construction reagent container 22 generally needs to be in a low-temperature refrigerated environment to facilitate the low-temperature refrigeration of the library construction reagents. The shaking and heating assembly 23 is provided with a purification container (such as a deep well plate) and a shaking and heating device. The purification container can provide a reaction space for magnetic bead purification during library construction, and the shaking and heating device can provide suitable reaction temperatures and reaction conditions for magnetic bead purification. At the same time, the magnet assembly 24 can provide a necessary magnetic field environment for magnetic bead purification
[0060] After the nucleic acid extraction quality control is completed, the library construction operator component is responsible for taking out the construction reaction container 35 (already containing the nucleic acid extraction product) from the quality control system 30 and placing it in a specific storage area in the library construction system 20. In this storage area, various reaction reagents are added to the construction reaction container 35. For the convenience of description, this storage area can be called the reagent addition area. Since the nucleic acid is stored in the construction reaction container, the reagent addition area generally needs to be in a low-temperature refrigeration environment to facilitate the low-temperature refrigeration of the nucleic acid. Since the entire library construction process includes multiple reaction steps, for each reaction step, the library construction pipetting component is first responsible for sucking the corresponding reaction reagent from the library construction reagent container 22 and adding it to the construction reaction container 35 (already containing the nucleic acid extraction product). Then, the library construction operator component is responsible for putting the construction reaction container 35 (which has successively added the nucleic acid extraction product and the corresponding reaction reagent) into the PCR instrument 21 for reaction. After the reaction is completed, the library construction operator component takes out the construction reaction container 35 from the PCR instrument 21 and returns it to the specific area to wait for the addition of the reaction reagent for the next reaction, and repeats the above process.
[0061] Among them, during the library construction process, after adapters are ligated to both ends of the nucleic acid fragments, the ligation products need to be purified, and a pure library can be obtained after purification. In addition, since the amount of the library obtained at this time is small, library amplification is usually required, and the amplified products also need to be purified to obtain a pure library after amplification. If the magnetic bead method is used for purification, in addition to accommodating one or more reagents required for library construction (including the washing solution and elution solution required for magnetic bead purification) in the library construction reagent container 22, magnetic beads or other magnetic particles can also be accommodated. During the magnetic bead purification reaction of the ligation products or amplified products, the library construction pipetting assembly is responsible for first aspirating the ligation products / amplified products from the construction reaction container 35 and adding them to the purification container of the oscillating heating assembly 23, and then aspirating magnetic beads from the library construction reagent container 22 and adding them to this purification container (where the ligation products / amplified products have been added). After reacting for a certain period of time, the library construction manipulator assembly is responsible for transferring this purification container (the library has been adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic beads) to the magnet assembly 24. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic beads adsorbed with the library are separated from the solution. The library construction pipetting assembly then aspirates the supernatant in this purification container, leaving the magnetic beads adsorbed with the library. The library construction pipetting assembly continues to aspirate the washing solution from the library construction reagent container 22 and add it to this purification container. After reacting for a certain period of time, the supernatant is aspirated away again. According to the experimental needs, the library construction pipetting assembly can be operated repeatedly for multiple washes. After the washing is completed, the library construction manipulator assembly transfers this purification container to the oscillating heating assembly 23. The library construction pipetting assembly continues to aspirate the elution solution from the library construction reagent container 22 and add it to this purification container. After reacting for a certain period of time, the adsorption between the library and the magnetic beads is released. The library construction pipetting assembly then aspirates the supernatant in this purification container (i.e., the library construction product) and adds it to the construction reaction container 35.
[0062] Generally, a sealing film is attached to the upper surface of the library construction reagent container 22 to facilitate the storage and transportation of the internal reagents. After the reagent container is loaded into the interior of the sequencing pretreatment instrument, the sealing film needs to be punctured by the puncturing assembly ( Figure 4 only its working area is shown in the figure) so that the corresponding pipetting assembly can aspirate the reagents from the library file reagent container 22, and the storage area of the library construction reagent container 22 is within the working area 25 of the puncturing assembly.
[0063] In addition, considering that the required amounts of magnetic beads, washing solution, and elution solution in the magnetic bead purification process are large and do not need to be stored in a low-temperature refrigerated environment, in addition to the library construction reagent container 22, the library construction system 20 can further be provided with a large-capacity reagent container 27 for storing large-capacity reagents such as magnetic beads, washing solution, and elution solution.
[0064] It should be noted here that the library construction manipulator component and the library construction pipetting component can be set independently. Considering that the library construction manipulator component and the library construction pipetting component do not need to work in parallel, they can also be integrated into one for space saving. In addition, the library construction system 20 can batch process the nucleic acid extraction products of multiple biological samples for library construction.
[0065] In an implementable manner, the library construction pipetting component can be a pipette (or a liquid transfer pump). To cooperate with the work of the pipette, a pipette tip for liquid transfer also needs to be equipped for the pipette. At the beginning of the liquid transfer work, the pipette sleevs the pipette tip on the pipette tip adapter at its end. After the liquid transfer work is completed, the pipette detaches the pipette tip from the pipette tip adapter at its end. Correspondingly, the library construction system 20 is also provided with a pipette tip storage area, and the used pipette tips will be put into the waste container 26, as Figure 4 shown.
[0066] For the electric control system 40, as Figure 5 shown, according to the functional division, the electric control system 40 mainly includes a central control module (or a central control board) 41, control modules that implement various control functions, and various sensors, which can collect information reflecting various operating states of the instrument.
[0067] Among them, the central control module 41, as the center connecting the host computer 50 and each control module, receives the control instructions sent by the host computer 50 through a communication interface (for example, an RS232 interface), and after parsing, verifying, and re-encoding, issues the instructions to the corresponding control module to achieve unified and orderly control of each control module. Each control module cooperates in an orderly manner under the control to achieve the purpose of constructing a sequencing library before gene sequencing.
[0068] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, the electronic control system 40 may include, for example, but is not limited to: a nucleic acid extraction system control module 42, a library construction system control module 43, a quality control system control module 44, and an auxiliary component control module 45.

Each module will be described in detail below.
[0069] The temperature control module 420 can provide suitable reaction temperatures and reaction conditions for various chemical reactions (such as cell lysis reaction, washing reaction, elution reaction) occurring on the nucleic acid extraction platform by controlling heating devices. For example, the heating device here can be a heating sheet, or it can also be a TEC (thermoelectric cooler) module. And, in order to better achieve temperature control, the temperature control module 420 can also achieve closed-loop control according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor.

Taking the movement of the nucleic acid extraction platform in a two-dimensional plane as an example, the nucleic acid extraction platform movement control module 421 can drive the X-direction motor and the Y-direction motor to move respectively by controlling the driver, and then drive the nucleic acid extraction platform to move in the X direction and the Y direction (the X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular to each other on the horizontal plane). The magnetic rod / magnetic rod sleeve movement control module 422 can drive the Z-direction motor to drive the magnetic rod and the magnetic rod sleeve to move in the Z direction respectively by controlling the driver (the Z direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane formed by the X and Y directions).
[0071] The quality control manipulator assembly movement control module 440 can drive the X-direction motor, the Y-direction motor, and the Z-direction motor to move respectively by controlling the driver, and then drive the quality control manipulator assembly to move in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction.
[0072] The transfer mechanism movement control module 441 can drive the X-direction motor to drive the transfer mechanism to move in the X direction by controlling the driver.

[0075] The library construction pipetting assembly motion control module 430 can drive the X-axis motor, Y-axis motor, and Z-axis motor to move respectively by controlling the driver, thereby driving the library construction pipetting assembly to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.

[0077] The oscillation heating assembly control module 432 can provide suitable reaction temperatures and reaction conditions for various reactions in magnetic bead purification (such as washing reaction, elution reaction) by controlling the oscillation device and heating device. For example, the heating device here can be a heating sheet, or it can also be a TEC (thermoelectric cooler) module. And, in order to better achieve temperature control, the oscillation heating assembly control module 432 can also achieve closed-loop control according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor.
[0078] The reagent container refrigeration control module 433 can provide a suitable refrigeration temperature for the library construction reagent container 22 by controlling the heating device and refrigeration device. For example, the heating device here can be a TEC (thermoelectric cooler) module, and the refrigeration device can be a fan. And, in order to better achieve temperature control, the refrigeration control module 433 can also achieve closed-loop control according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor.
[0079] The reagent addition area refrigeration control module 434 can provide a suitable refrigeration temperature for the reagent addition area by controlling the heating device and refrigeration device. For example, the heating device here can be a TEC (thermoelectric cooler) module, and the refrigeration device can be a fan. And, in order to better achieve temperature control, the reagent addition area refrigeration control module 434 can also achieve closed-loop control according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor.
[0080] The camera control module 440 can drive the X-axis motor, Y-axis motor, and Z-axis motor to move respectively by controlling the driver, thereby driving the camera in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, and controlling the camera to take pictures of the consumables (such as extraction operation containers, library construction reagent containers) in the sequencing pre-treatment instrument after reaching the target position, and report them to the host computer. For example, a two-dimensional code is set on the consumable, and the two-dimensional code carries consumable information. By controlling the camera to take pictures of the two-dimensional code on the consumable, the host computer can identify the consumable information according to the two-dimensional code. In addition, the camera control module can also control the camera to take pictures of relevant containers (such as the library construction reagent container 22, the construction reaction container 35, the purification container placed on the oscillation heating component 25, the pipette tip container placed in the pipette tip storage area for accommodating pipette tips used for pipetting by the pipette, etc.) and report them to the host computer 50, so that the host computer 50 can verify the placement position, placement direction of the relevant containers and the relevant consumable information before the pre-treatment experiment starts, and determine whether each container is placed correctly and whether the consumables are used correctly.
[0081] The piercing component movement control module 441 can drive the X-axis motor, Y-axis motor, and Z-axis motor to move respectively by controlling the driver, thereby driving the piercing component to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.
[0082] The ultraviolet lamp and other light source control module 442 includes: an ultraviolet lamp control sub-module, a status indicator light control sub-module, and a decorative lamp control sub-module ( Figure 4 not shown in the figure). Among them, the ultraviolet lamp control sub-module can control the ultraviolet lamp to work in a stable light power state, so that the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet lamp can disinfect the sequencing pre-treatment instrument; the status indicator light control sub-module can control the indicator light to work in a stable light power state and indicate the working state of the sequencing pre-treatment instrument by controlling the color of the indicator light; the decorative lamp control sub-module can control the light strip to work in a stable light power state to increase the aesthetics of the sequencing pre-treatment instrument.
[0083] The air cleaning control module 443 provides clean air for the inside of the instrument chassis and the inside of the nucleic acid extraction system by controlling the air inlet mechanism (such as a blower) and the air exhaust mechanism (such as a fan).
[0084] In addition to the above various control modules, the electric control system 40 also needs to collect information reflecting the operation state of the instrument in real time through various sensors and report it to the host computer 50 through the central control module 41, which is used for the host computer 50 to detect the working state of the instrument and ensure the stable operation of the instrument.
[0085] Various sensors may include, for example, but are not limited to: temperature sensors for collecting the temperatures of key components inside the sequencer, sensors for detecting the in-place status of relevant components (including but not limited to limit position detection and zero position detection), etc.
[0086] Among them, the in-place status detection may include, for example, but is not limited to: the in-place status detection of the nucleic acid extraction platform, the magnetic bar / magnetic bar sleeve assembly, the quality control manipulator assembly, the conveying mechanism, the quality control pipetting assembly, the library construction manipulator assembly, the library construction pipetting assembly, the nucleic acid extraction system chamber door, and the instrument chamber door.
[0087] For example, the temperature sensor may collect the temperatures of the nucleic acid extraction platform, the oscillating heating assembly, the reagent addition area, etc., and the central control module may further form a closed-loop control based on the temperatures collected by the temperature sensor.
[0088] In addition, for example, the temperature sensor may also collect the temperature of the heat sink in the TEC module, and the central control module may further determine whether the TEC module is operating normally based on the temperature of the heat sink, and perform controls such as alarming and stopping operation in case of abnormal operation.
[0089] After the central control module 41 reports the information collected by the sensor to the host computer 50, the host computer 50 detects the working status of the instrument, and issues an instruction indicating the working status according to the detection result. The central control module 41 forwards the instruction to the status indicator light control sub-module, and the status indicator light control sub-module controls the indicator light to indicate the working status of the instrument according to the instruction. For example, the RGB three-color indicator light is used to indicate the working status of the instrument (for example, including the running status, the fault status, etc.).
[0090] The central control module 41 can also receive the input power supply, convert the input power supply into the working power supplies required by each control module according to the needs, and output them.

In specific implementation, the above systems can be uniformly set in the gene sequencing pre-processing device 1 (such as Figure 6As shown in [figure], the nucleic acid extraction and library construction processes are both completed in the pre-gene sequencing processing device 1. After each nucleic acid extraction and library construction process, nucleic acid fragments caused by residual aerosol or splashing will remain on the inner wall of the instrument. If these nucleic acid fragments are not processed, it is very likely that they will contaminate new batches of samples during the next experiment, thus affecting the quality of library construction. Therefore, it is necessary to disinfect the inside of the instrument after each nucleic acid extraction and library construction process.
