20150275273 | NUCLEIC ACID ANALYSIS DEVICE AND NUCLEIC ACID ANALYSIS METHOD - A nucleic acid analysis device includes a mounting portion supporting a nucleic acid amplification reaction container, first and second heaters which heat first and second portions of the container, a rotating mechanism which collectively rotates the container and heaters, a heater controller, a rotating mechanism controller, a fluorescence measurer, and a nucleic acid melting curve analyzer. The container is repeatedly inverted while a nucleic acid amplification reaction cycle occurs therein. The first and second heaters heat the container such that the first portion reaches a first temperature and the second portion reaches a second temperature while the nucleic acid amplification reaction cycle occurs. After the nucleic acid amplification reaction cycle ends, the second heater increases the temperature of the second portion. The fluorescence emitted from the amplified nucleic acid is measured while the temperature of the second portion increases. A nucleic acid melting curve is obtained from the fluorescence. | 10-01-2015 |
