Abstract
In this paper, an automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument is described. It consists of mechanical components, motor controlling module, temperature controlling module and computer. Also, a prototype has been designed and constructed. The maximum sample throughput of this prototype is 96, the sample volume is 300-1000ul, the maximum sample handling time is about 60min, the sample temperature controlling range is from room temperature to 95oC, and the accuracy of temperature controlling achieved is about ± 2oC.
