| 20080233634 | NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION DEVICE - A nucleic acid detection device is provided with a closed channel formed of a first channel portion, through which a washing reagent storage section for storing a washing reagent for washing a detection section for nucleic acid detection communicates with the detection section, and a second channel portion through which a pretreatment section for nucleic acid treatment communicates with the detection section. The closed channel is connected with a gas inlet/outlet path for communication with the outside. The gas inlet/outlet path is blocked by a sealing mechanism before nucleic acid detection. In storing a pretreatment reagent and the washing reagent frozen, the gas inlet/outlet path is kept open and connected to the channel. Thus, there is provided a nucleic acid detection device having a structure for preventing leakage of nucleic acid samples to the outside and which can be stored for a long period of time with the reagents therein. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090023201 | NUCLEIC ACID DETECTING CASSETTE AND NUCLEIC ACID DETECTING APPARATUS - In a nucleic acid detecting cassette in which a heating treatment chamber and a liquid delivery channel are constituted of a stationary member and flexible members, the heating treatment chamber is held by convex heating sections from both sides, whereby the heat treatment chamber and the liquid delivery channel are spatially separated from each other. Thus, it is possible to automatically execute a consistent process including nucleic acid amplification and other required treatments of the object sample as well as detection of a target nucleic acid. | 01-22-2009 |
