The invention relates to a hole bottom freezing cord coring drill and a coring method thereof. In the invention, liquid nitrogen is taken as a refrigerant; the liquid nitrogen absorbs heat in the gasification process so as to freeze a core at a hole bottom and inhibit a natural gas hydrate from being decomposed. The drill comprises an outer tube assembly and an inner tube assembly; and in the process of acquiring the core, a sand hitch is utilized to drag the inner tube assembly out from the outer tube assembly, an end cover and a clamp spring are dismounted, a semi-closed tube and a core sample are pumped out together from a core tube, the two ends of the semi-closed tube are sealed by rubber plugs, and the core sample and the semi-closed tube are stored in a liquid nitrogen hold-up vessel or a high-pressure container together. The invention has the advantages that rapid freezing can be realized, and the freezing effect is good; since cord coring and hole bottom freezing are combined, rapid coring without lifting the drill is achieved; in the drilling process, the inner tube assembly does not rotate, thus damages on a hydras core caused by mechanical force generated by rotation of the drill is avoided to a greater degree, the percentage of coring, the core integrity degree and the representativeness are more effectively improved; and semi-closed tube type rapid ground surfacesampling is adopted, thus the core can be rapidly obtained from the ground surface.

The present invention provides a novel molecular method for the simultaneous identification and semi-quantification of multiple targeted biological entities from amongst a plurality. This invention discloses a method based on a multiplex nested amplification reaction in a single closed tube. The first amplification reaction relies on a set of large oligonucleotides for the amplification of common loci in all the targeted biological entities. The second nested amplification reaction relies on a set of short oligonucleotide primers that amplifies specific nucleotide sequences from all the amplicons previously produced in the first amplification reaction and generates an amplified product pattern capable of identifying each targeted biological entity. This method offers fast and accurate simultaneous identification of many targeted biological entities in any sample.
