It is commonly used in fields such as molecular biology, genomics, and forensic medicine to extract pure nucleic acids from blood, saliva, tissues, or other biological samples. When extracting samples with a nucleic acid extractor, the samples need to be heated by a heating mechanism to promote certain chemical or enzymatic reactions during the reaction process.

This patented technology includes a heating chamber, a mounting plate disposed within the heating chamber, a deep-hole plate disposed on the mounting plate, and a first heating assembly. The deep-hole plate has multiple grooves on its bottom wall, and the mounting plate has multiple first sliding grooves on its end face away from the bottom wall of the heating chamber.

From left to right, an exhaust pipe 27 and a connecting pipe 22 are respectively provided. Inside the deep hole plate 3, from left to right, a third channel 262 and a first channel 26 are respectively opened. A second channel 261 is opened between the third channel 262 and the first channel 26. This arrangement utilizes the interconnection of the first channel 26, the second channel 261 and the third channel 262 so that the air heated inside the fixed box 2 enters through the exhaust pipe 21 and the connecting pipe 22 to heat the deep hole plate 3. Furthermore, the sample in the pore 31 can be heated through the exhaust hole 23, effectively improving its heating effect.

This arrangement utilizes the interconnection of the first channel 26, the second channel 261 and the third channel 262 to allow heated air to circulate inside, thereby heating the deep hole plate 3 and heating the sample inside the hole groove 31.
