Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of a device for automatically executing a process of generating an emulsion containing nucleic acids, amplifying the nucleic acids in the emulsion, breaking the emulsion, and separating and purifying said amplified nucleic acids, is described that comprises an emulsion generation unit for sealing beads to which nucleic acids are bound in a water-in-oil type emulsion; a nucleic acid amplification unit provided with a reaction vessel for amplifying said nucleic acids and a heating and cooling part for heating and cooling the reaction vessel; an emulsion breaking unit for breaking the emulsion after nucleic acid amplification; and a nucleic acid purification unit for recovering said amplified nucleic acids from said emulsion breaking unit.
