Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for automatically analyzing biological samples capable of performing the entire processes of dissolving the biological samples in protease and cell lysate to dissolve a nucleic acid in a solution, attaching the nucleic acid to magnetic particles, finally washing the magnetic particle to which the nucleic acid is attached with an organic solvent, drying the magnetic particles using a vacuum pump, eluting the target nucleic acid attached to the magnetic particles in an aqueous solution, adding and mixing the eluted target nucleic acid into a vessel containing a nucleic acid amplification reagent, real-time detecting amplification by irradiating excitation light to a reactor simultaneously with regulating a temperature to perform amplification to measure fluorescence, inactivating an amplified product using an ultraviolet lamp after amplification, obtaining an image through electrophoresis, and analyzing a molecular weight in a single apparatus.
