Gene sequencer, automatic leveling apparatus and automatic leveling method

Abstract

The invention discloses a gene sequencer, an automatic leveling apparatus and an automatic leveling method. The automatic leveling apparatus is used for leveling a sequencing reaction small chamber, and comprises an installation platform, a leveling plate, at least a rotation mechanism, at least a driving mechanism, an image collection device and a control device, wherein the leveling plate comprises a rotation supporting point part connected to the rotation mechanism and used for rotatably arranging the whole leveling plate on the installation platform and a rotation driving part connected to the driving mechanism, the image collection device is arranged corresponding to the sequencing reaction small chamber and collects the information of the distances between at least two position points of the reaction channel of the sequencing reaction small chamber and the image collection device, and the control device forms communication connections with the image collection device and the driving mechanism, and outputs a control signal according to the distance information collected by the image collection device so as to control the driving mechanism to drive the leveling plate to rotate, such that the distances between at least two position points of the reaction channel and the image collection device are equal or the distance difference is in a preset range. According to the present invention, with the gene sequencer, the automatic leveling apparatus and the automatic leveling method, the automatic leveling can be achieved, and the efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gene sequencing, in particular to a gene sequencer, an automatic leveling device and a method. Background technique [0002] Gene sequencing technology uses a gene sequencer to detect nucleic acids, and obtains nucleic acid sequences through data processing. The sequencing process of the current gene sequencer is composed of a series of mechanical, electronic communication, biological, chemical, optical and other operations. The DNA fragment sample to be tested is set in the reaction chamber of the gene sequencer for sequencing reaction. The reaction channel flows through the sequencing reaction chamber to generate a sequencing reaction with the sample to be tested. After the sequencing reaction is completed, the sequencing image is collected by the image acquisition device, and the gene sequence is obtained after post-processing. [0003] Since gene sequencing requires very high precision, which belongs to the m...
