The temperature-controlled oscillator 108 will be started, which will mix the two solutions in the PCR reaction tube. When the two solutions complete the mixing operation, the temperature-controlled oscillator 108 will be closed. Subsequently, the PCR reaction tube containing the mixed solution will be moved to the placement plate on the thermal cycler 110 by cooperation of the mechanical arm 104, the suction head mounting and dismounting device 105, the fixed relationship between the tube plug and the PCR reaction tube, the control box 106 and the corresponding two hoses. Then the tube plug will be released, and the suction head mounting and dismounting device 105 will be reset to the original position. After that, the thermal cycler 110 will be started to control the reaction temperature of the mixed solution in the PCR reaction tube.

At this time, the fan 411 is started, and the space composed of the shell 102 and the base 101 is connected through the auxiliary ring 423, and the residual disinfectant gas in the space is removed. Subsequently, the removed disinfectant gas is transported into the third electric valve 421 through the three-way pipe 420, and then into the other first connecting pipe 417, and then into the other processing tank 408 through the corresponding check valve 416. At this time, the disinfectant gas entering the processing tank 408 is preliminarily treated (urea solution is injected into the processing tank 408 in advance), and then the reaction gas is transported into the first connecting pipe 417, the corresponding check valve 416 and the other processing tank 408. When the generated gas enters the processing tank 408 again, the residual disinfectant gas in the gas is completely removed by reaction, and then the generated gas is transported into the second connecting pipe 427, and then into the space composed of the box cover 426 and the processing box 424. When the gas passes through the space, the second adsorption block 425 (composed of activated carbon particles) adsorbs the water in the gas.
