Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a nucleic acid extraction device. The nucleic acid extraction device includes a container which stores each of a cleaning solution and an eluting solution, a water level sensor configured to detect amounts of the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are stored in the container, a tube sensor configured to sense a sample tube disposed on a sample tube accommodation portion, and an operation initiation portion configured to determine whether the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are necessary for a nucleic acid extraction operation are provided on the basis of the number of such sample tubes which is sensed by the tube sensor and the amounts of the cleaning solution and the eluting solution which are sensed by the water level sensor.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a nucleic acid amplification device. The nucleic acid amplification device includes a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chip driving portion configured to allow a PCR chip to reciprocate between a first position and a second position; a plurality of first heating blocks disposed to be spaced apart with the first position as a center therebetween and to face each other; a plurality of second heating blocks disposed to be spaced apart with the second position as a center therebetween and to face each other; and a heating block driving portion configured to move the plurality of first heating blocks and the plurality of second heating blocks toward the PCR chip. Here, both surfaces of the PCR chip come into contact with the plurality of first heating blocks at the first position and the both surfaces sequentially come into contact with the plurality of second heating blocks at the second position so as to perform PCR.
