Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for opening and closing sample storage containers, including: a housing 110 having an external appearance provided such that a handle 130 held by a user is exposed; a driving device 180 for generating driving force to rotate a rotation shaft; a key 150 fitted and coupled to a lid 1 of at least one sample storage container and configured to be rotated by the driving force; and an ejector 160 for pressing the lid 1 when the handle 130 is pressed, so that the key 150 is disengaged from the lid 1.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) using a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe and a melting curve analysis, and more particularly, a method is disclosed for analyzing SNPs of mtDNA by the melting curve analysis of a PNA probe and mtDNA, in which the PNA probe is coupled with a reporter and a quencher. By using PNA probes labeled with a reporter and a quencher in the method for analyzing SNPs of mtDNA, the time and cost required for individual identification can be drastically decreased, initial analysis can be carried out in the event of a large number of inspections or mass casualties, and human identification information can be coded, and thus the method is very easy to manage and supervise.
