POST-SYNTHESIS PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTED OLIGONUCLEOTIDES, AND METHOD

摘要

A system is provided that can include: a plurality of retainment regions, where each retainment region is adapted to retain a respective type of an oligonucleotide supported on a respective support; a mixture retainment region; a handling device; a control unit adapted to control the handling device; and a separating unit adapted to simultaneously separate different supported oligonucleotides from their respective supports. A method is provided that can include: pooling together a plurality of supported oligonucleotides to form a mixture; and simultaneously separating the oligonucleotides of the supported oligonucleotides in the mixture from their supports. A method for facilitating genetic analysis is also provided and can include: receiving from a user a request for one or more genetic analysis assays; formulating each assay; and providing to the user the one or more assay; wherein the formulating can include pooling together into a mixture retainment region a plurality of different supported oligonucleotides and simultaneously separating the different oligonucleotides from their respective supports.

1. A system comprising: a plurality of retainment regions, each retainment region being adapted to retain a respective type of oligonucleotide supported on a respective support;
a mixture retainment region; a handling device; a control unit programmed to control the handling device to pool in the mixture retainment region different supported oligonucleotides from different ones of the retainment regions, to form a pool; and a separating unit adapted to simultaneously separate different types of oligonucleotides supported on different respective supports, from their respective supports.
