The present disclosure relates to a nucleic acid analysis apparatus using a cartridge which can simplify the nucleic acid extraction and applicable to a molecular diagnostic POCT equipment. The nucleic acid analysis device includes a stage on which a cartridge is mountable, a nucleic acid extraction unit, and a control unit. The nucleic acid extraction unit performs a nucleic acid extraction through crushing of the sample, the cell disruption, and the nucleic acid purification as well as a nucleic acid amplification. The control unit controls the stage and the nucleic acid extraction unit so that the nucleic acid extraction through the crushing of the sample, the cell disruption, and the nucleic acid purification as well as the nucleic acid amplification are collectively performed.

Nucleic acid analysis apparatus using cartridge

The present disclosure provides a cartridge for use in nucleic acid extraction and a nucleic acid extraction method which can simplify a nucleic acid extraction process and can be applicable to a point-of-care testing (POCT). The cartridge includes a chamber module, an air valve module, and a liquid valve module. The chamber module includes a plurality of chambers for extracting nucleic acids from a sample including a pretreatment chamber in which the sample is crushed and homogenization, cell disruption, and purification are performed. The air valve module is installed on the chamber module to control a pressure required to move a fluid between the plurality of chambers. The liquid valve module is installed below the chamber module to move the fluid between the plurality of chambers.

Cartridge for nucleic acid extraction and nucleic acid extraction method

The present invention relates to a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-&#x3b2;)-mimicking peptide containing a particular amino acid sequence and a composition for preventing or treating TGF-&#x3b2;-effective disorders or conditions using the same. The peptide of the present invention may be much higher stability than natural-occurring TGF-&#x3b2; and improve drawbacks caused by high molecular weight of natural-occurring TGF-&#x3b2;. The peptide of this invention can be advantageously applied to treatment or improvement of TGF-&#x3b2;-effective disorders or conditions and have excellent efficacies on skin whitening and wrinkle improvement.
