NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION CASSETTE AND NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION APPARATUS

摘要

A nucleic acid cassette includes a main body in which first and second channels are formed. A sample containing a target nucleic acid is input in a sample chamber of the second channel via an injection port. In the cassette, a detecting part is incorporated which includes a detection chamber communicated to the first and second channels and a nucleic detection unit. The first channel has a first reagent reservoir storing a first reagent stored and a second reagent reservoir storing a second reagent. The first and second reagents reservoirs are separated by a gaseous body in the channel. The sample and the first and second reagents are supplied to the detecting part due to an action of a pump part which is communicated to the first and second channels. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a non-detection target nucleic monocle from being mixed and a nucleic acid sample from being leaked to the outside.
