Abstract: Provided is a genome extraction device to which a dual chamber structure of an outer chamber and a bead chamber is applied, more particularly a genome extraction device to which the above-described dual chamber structure is applied so that the performance of dry beads vulnerable to moisture can be maintained for a long time.

Abstract: Provided is a diagnostic kit, in which a detection device and a specimen collection tool are integrated. The diagnostic kit includes a specimen collector capable of collecting a specimen, a device including a housing and a detection strip, and a connector connecting the specimen collector with the device and moving a solution, the connector having a bar shape.

Abstract: The invention relates to an isothermal-based dual functional oligonucleotide containing quencher and reporter dye for an isothermal nucleic acid amplification and a method for nucleic acid amplification and measurement using the same. The present invention is directed to a method capable of obviating the need for an additional oligonucleotide, in addition to four to six types of oligonucleotides for a nucleic acid amplification reaction of LAMP, detecting the amount of fluorescence according to the amplification of the nucleic acid of target gene—specific sequence for DNA and RNA, enabling the detection also after the completion of the reaction, and detecting the amount of fluorescence in real-time. Therefore, the present invention allows simultaneous multiple tests by measuring the amount of fluorescence in one tube after the completion of the reaction or in real time while varying the reporter dye according to the target gene.

Abstract: There is provided a nucleic acid extraction method using a cartridge comprising: (a) a driving part of a nucleic acid extraction device is connected to a control rod module disposed in an inner space of the upper body of a piston and a rotation control module coupled to the lower body of the piston; (b) driving the rotation control module and the control rod module, sequentially sucking sample and reagents from the plurality of chambers separated from each other into an interior space, and discharging the mixture of the interior space into the chamber of the cartridge; and (c) driving the rotation control module and the control rod module to suck the reagent inside the master mix bead chamber of the cartridge into the interior space of the piston upper body and then discharge the mixed reagent to a nucleic acid amplification module.

Abstract: There is provided a cartridge for nucleic acid extraction comprising: a first body having a plurality of chambers in which ports are formed at the bottom; a second body coupled to a lower region of the first body; and a piston disposed rotatably in the centers of the first body and the second body and having a port formed at the bottom thereof; and characterized in that the cartridge comprises a plurality of flow paths formed on the upper region of the second body, one end overlapping the port of the piston and the other end overlapping the port of the first body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a primer for PCR obtained by, directly or through inosine as a linker, linking a complementary nucleotide sequence or a complementary nucleotide sequence including a mis-matched nucleotide sequence to the 5?-terminal of a forward or reverse primer; and to a PCR method including a step of mixing a nucleic acid template in a PCR composition including the primer and then performing PCR on the mixture. The primer for PCR of the present invention includes a complementary nucleotide sequence or a mis-matched nucleotide sequence in a complementary nucleotide sequence, which is linked to the 5?-terminal thereof directly or via a linker, thereby lowering the sensitivity increase due to the increase in amplification products and reducing non-specifically occurring reactions in PCR.

Abstract: Described are immunoassay kits having a conjugate structure separate from an immunochromatographic strip in which the conjugate structure is freeze-dried with uniform droplet size, and related compositions and methods. The unique structure of the kits described here permits sample containing analyte to be reacted uniformly with the conjugate structure before being subjected to immunochromatography by application to the strip. This results in improved performance of the assay. In addition, the freeze-dried conjugate structure can be stored without contamination and is easy to carry. In addition, the freeze-dried conjugate structure can be rapidly and uniformly dissolved so that it is immediately allowed to react with a mixture of a buffer and a sample, the reaction product then being analyzed by immunochromatography, making it suitable for use in point-of-care testing.

Abstract: A sensor strip apparatus includes: a top plate having an entrance opening downward and a joint formed downward; a pad section including a support having a window opening downward, a reaction pad attached to the window of the support and reacting with a specimen, first and second hemolysis inhibition pads attached to the reaction pad to filter hemocytes from the specimen, a specimen pad attached to the first and second hemolysis inhibition pads to diffuse the specimen crosswise, and an adhesive film attached to the support around the first and second hemolysis inhibition pads to increase adhesion strength of the specimen pad; and a bottom plate having a second joint forcibly coupled with to the joint of the top plate, and a window configured to indentify the reaction pad through the window of the support.
