DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT AMPLIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01N21/01 G01N21/64 C12Q1/6844 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of biotechnology. A device for carrying out amplification of nucleic acids is proposed. The device consists of a housing with a hole for installing a chip cartridge and a cover, a thermal cycling unit, and an optical system. The thermal cycling unit is located horizontally in the lower zone of the device body, and the optical system is located above the thermal cycling unit, the place for the chip-cartridge is located in the lower zone of the optical system. In this case, the light source is made in the form of narrow-band light-emitting diodes installed along the side ends of the cartridge-chip, and the fluorescence signal receiving unit is located directly above the reaction wells of the cartridge-chip, where the fluorescence signal receiving unit is equipped with multispectral sensors or separate photodiodes.

EFFECT: invention provides an increase in the compactness, versatility and speed of the device with an increase in its reliability when carrying out various studies not only in the laboratory, but also in the field in real time.
