[0002] Extraction of microbial nucleic acids from environmental samples is a crucial step in environmental monitoring and microbial research. Traditional methods, such as centrifugation column extraction, magnetic bead extraction, or phenol-chloroform extraction, have significant drawbacks when processing trace samples such as soil and water: the operation requires multiple centrifugation and liquid transfer steps, easily leading to sample loss; open-ended operation steps result in a high risk of exogenous contamination; magnetic bead extraction relies on specialized laboratory equipment, making it difficult to adapt to field testing needs; commercially available reagent kits are expensive and unsuitable for trace samples. Furthermore, environmental samples often contain interfering substances such as humic acid and polysaccharides, which easily co-precipitate with nucleic acids, leading to reduced purity. Existing technologies cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high efficiency, portability, and low cost. To address the core issues of complex operation, high contamination risk, strong equipment dependence, and high cost in nucleic acid extraction from trace environmental samples, this invention proposes a trace nucleic acid extractor suitable for environmental samples, overcoming the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies.
