CASSETTE FOR SAMPLE PREPARATION

摘要

A cassette for preparing a sample includes a mixing chamber to receive a sample of cells, a holding chamber and an enzyme in the holding chamber The enzyme is transferable into a mixing chamber to break the cells and release nucleic acid from the cells to create bulk material and the nucleic acid in the bulk material A second holding chamber has magnetic particles, the magnetic particles being transferable to the mixing chamber to bind with the nucleic acid, and a magnet to attract the magnetic particle with the nucleic acid, and to separate the nucleic acid from the bulk material in the mixing chamber.
