Sample analyzer, nucleic acid detector and nucleic acid detection method

摘要

A sample analyzer allowing miniaturization and sufficiently prompt analysis, with a sample container set part (20,420) a reagent container set part (30,430), a detection part (60,460) supporting a detection container (65) storing a mixture of a sample and a reagent for detecting a prescribed detection item from the mixture; and a dispensing part (10) for sucking a sample and a reagent and discharging them into a detection container, wherein the detection part is arranged oppositely to the sample container set part and the reagent container set part.;A nucleic acid detector and a nucleic acid detection method, capable of preventing a sample or a reagent from contamination, comprising a dispensing part (10) dispensing a reagent and a sample suspected to contain a target nucleic acid into a detection container (65) integrally provided with a lid; a lid closing mechanism (63,461) closing said lid of said detection container after said dispensing part completely dispenses said reagent and said sample into said detection container; an amplification part (61) amplifying said target nucleic acid in said detection container having closed said lid; and a detection part (62) detecting said target nucleic acid in said detection container having said closed lid.
