Abstract
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) module is detachably combined with a reader system. The reader system includes a central processing unit (CPU) receiving a photo sensing signal to calculate gene amplification amount in real time and generating a temperature control signal based on a temperature signal and a temperature control information. The PCR module includes a photo sensor assembly, a partition wall, and an interface module. The photo sensor assembly includes a plurality of photo sensors and a temperature sensor. The photo sensors are arranged in an array shape to sense emission light generated from a specimen to generate the photo sensing signal. The partition wall is protruded from the photo sensor assembly to define a reaction space in which the specimen is received. The interface module is electrically connected to the photo sensor assembly to transmit the photo sensing signal and the temperature signal to the reader system.
