A cartridge capable of making effective use of a sample is provided. A blood sample is injected into a well via an injection path by use of a syringe, and so forth. A roller, in a state as kept pressed into contact with the cartridge, is rotated rightward, whereupon an elastic member undergoes elastic deformation to cause the blood sample held in the well, and a liquid solvent held in a well to reach a well, and the blood sample is thereby mixed with the liquid solvent. Since the liquid solvent contains surfactant, blood cells are destroyed in the well. The liquid solvent reaches a well via a flow path. At this point in time, magnetic particles held in the well, and a cleaning liquid held in the well are merged with the mixed liquid in the well. A magnet is shifted from a position corresponding to the well to a position corresponding to the well along the flow path, thereby separating and transferring DNA caught by the magnetic particles to the well. Residue inside the well after removal of DNA is transferred to a well by the roller. The separated biopolymers are analyzed in the cartridge.

The invention discloses a transgene method for obtaining blue flowers through indigo blue synthesis via glutamine catalysis. The method comprises the following steps of (1) selecting a gene Sfp for coding phosphopantetheine transferase and a gene bpsA for coding indigo blue synthetase; respectively cloning the genes into a plant promoter downstream of plasmids containing plant promoters; (2) amplifying the obtained plasmids in escherichia coli; transferring the plasmids into soil agrobacterium; (3) transferring DNA containing Sfp and bpsA into plants. The produced blue flowers have various characteristics of natural flowers, are fresh, have flower fragrance, realize color fastness and is nontoxic. The transgenic enzymes and generated indigo blue are not in vacuoles, are not influenced by low pH of the plant vacuole, and can form the pure blue color. The precursor materials of blue substances are generated; the enzyme substances are glutamine richly contained in the plant bodies; the related enzymatic reaction only has one step; the transgenic transformation can be performed from white flowers existing in the nature.

The invention relates to a hydrogel and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of medical materials. According to the main technical scheme, the preparation method of the hydrogel comprises the following steps: step 1), preparing calcium carbonate nanoparticle CaCO3 at DNA loaded with DNA; 2) preparing a first reaction solution from sodium alginate, chitosan and CaCO3 atDNA; adding gluconolactone into the first reaction solution and stirring, and obtaining a mixed solution; and standing the mixed solution to obtain the hydrogel.
