DEVICE FOR PRETREATING SPECIMEN

摘要

With the recent progress in decoding the human genome, relevancies of various biological phenomena to genes are now in the process of clarification. Thanks to the results thereof, attentions in medical science and medical cares have been widened from pathologic conditions to causes of diseases and from therapy to prevention. Under these circumstances, gene inspection technology serves as an important basis therefor. Thus, it is intended to provide a conveniently usable gene inspection system by easily automating the pretreatment step in nucleic acid inspection without lowering the detection sensitivity and reducing the pretreatment cost. Namely, a device for pretreating a specimen which has a specimen introduction unit, a retention unit, a washing liquor pooling unit, an eluate pooling unit and a discharge unit.
