以下、図面に基づいて本発明を説明する。図1は本発明の試薬カートリッジの一様態の斜視図である。図2は試薬カートリッジの容器の各ウェル形成面を表す平面図である。試薬カートリッジ100は、後述のように、生体試料をサンプルウェルに投入し、核酸抽出装置にセットして用いることで、自動的に核酸抽出作業を行なうことを可能とするものである。本発明の試薬カートリッジを構成する試薬容器1は、容器を構成する基材に試薬ウェル2~8、抽出時に分離された不要な溶液を廃棄する廃液ウェル10、抽出した核酸を回収する回収ウェル11、生体試料を導入するサンプルウェル13を有している。試薬ウェルには、例えば細胞膜等の生体物質を溶解する溶解液、溶液を希釈する希釈液、担体から核酸を溶出させる溶出液、不要な溶液を洗い流すための洗浄液等がそれぞれ各試薬ウェルに収容されている。なおウェルに収納される溶液は、これらに限られるわけではない。さらに、本発明の核酸抽出用キットは、図3に示すような試薬カートリッジ本体(試薬容
器)から独立した抽出フィルターカートリッジ12を備えている。本発明の試薬カートリッジは、図4に図示するような核酸抽出装置200に固定し、分注ピペットを用いた抽出作業を機械的に行なわせることができる。
以下、各構成要素について説明する。なお、本発明の装置及び各構成要素は、図面で示す配置及び構成に限らず、また本発明の作用効果を妨げない範囲で他の構成要素と組み合わせることが可能である。
試薬容器1の形状は、核酸抽出装置に固定して用いることが可能であればよい。固定の方法としては、例えば試薬カートリッジにツメ20を設け、装置側に引っ掛けて固定することが可能だが、これに限るものではない。図2のように試薬ウェルを配列した領域、廃液ウェルを形成した領域、回収ウェルを形成した領域、サンプルウェルを形成した領域をそれぞれ配置した直方体形状とすることができる。また、図1に示すように試薬容器の外周を各ウェルの底部への突出よりも高い壁面あるいは脚部を設け、これにより自立する構造とすることが望ましい。このような構造とすることにより、ユーザーが操作中に一時的に置く際などに安定性が増し、転倒などによる血液の汚染等を防ぐことができる。さらに、当該壁面には前述のツメ20等の装置への固定機構を設けることもできる。
限はないが、特にポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート、アクリルのいずれかを含む樹脂材料を用いれば、良好な可視光透過性を確保することができ、溶液の状態を確認することができる。ポリプロピレンとしては、ホモポリプロピレンやポリプロピレンとポリエチレンとのランダム共重合体を使用することができる。また、アクリルとしては、ポリメタクリル酸メチル、または、メタクリル酸メチルとその他のメタクリル酸エステル、アクリル酸エステル、スチレンなどのモノマーとの共重合体を使用することができる。また、これらの樹脂材料を使用する場合、チップの耐熱性や強度を確保することもできる。
さらに、本発明の試薬カートリッジ100は、生体試料から核酸を分離抽出するための抽出フィルターを備えた抽出フィルターカートリッジ12を備えている。抽出フィルターカートリッジ12は、少なくとも抽出フィルターカートリッジ本体12aに、抽出フィルター12bが固定されている。
フィルター部材12cを積層しておくことにより、これを防ぐことができる。作成方法としては、樹脂の粒を焼き固めて作成したフィルターを用いることが好ましいがこれに限定されるものではなく、反応に影響のある物質が溶出されず溶液が通過できることができる孔を有していれば良い。素材としては、溶液がフィルターを介して通過できるように、多孔質に形成できるものであれば特に限定されるものではない。
異物の混入や汚染を防ぐために、試薬容器1上に保護部材を設けることが好ましい。図1に示した本発明の例では、試薬ウェル2乃至9の開口端面に対して、保護フィルム14aによってシールされている。保護フィルム14aは、少なくとも各試薬ウェル開口端面を覆い、試薬ウェルごとに設けられていても良く、複数の試薬ウェルを一枚のシールで覆うようにしても良く、あるいは試薬ウェルが形成された領域全面を一枚のシールで覆うようにしても良い。
試薬カートリッジ本体1を廃棄することが出来る。
試薬類の分注に用いる分注ピペットについても、汚染を防ぐために、試薬カートリッジ1と同様に一回の核酸抽出ごとに廃棄することが望ましい。そこで、図4に示す本願発明の核酸抽出装置では、液体の吸引・吐出機構を備えた分注ノズル16と、分注ノズルに着脱可能な分注ピペットチップ17を分離して備えることにより、分注ピペットチップ17を廃棄すればよい構成となっている。
図4は上述の試薬カートリッジ100を設置した本発明の核酸抽出装置200の構成要素を示した斜視図である。本発明の核酸抽出装置は、少なくとも試料溶液を抽出フィルターに試料液体を通過させるための抽出フィルター加圧手段と、抽出フィルターカートリッジ移動手段と、試薬類や試料の液体を移動させるための分注手段とを備えている。試薬カートリッジは、着脱可能な固定台に設置して用いることができる。本発明の核酸抽出装置は、各ウェルをまとめた試薬容器1及び抽出フィルターカートリッジ12を一つのカートリッジとして設置することで、カートリッジ挿入以降の作業を自動化することができ、抽出工程を簡易化することができる。
けで加圧工程を行なえるようになっている。
以下、図5の本発明の核酸抽出方法を示すフローS1~S14及び図6~8の抽出工程における本発明核酸抽出装置作動時の斜視図を参照して、本発明の核酸抽出方法の例として、血液からの核酸抽出について説明する。なお血液以外の生体試料として、対象の生物(生物の死体も含む)の血漿、血清、精液、リンパ液等の各種体液、皮膚、毛髪、筋肉組織等の各種組織、糞便、尿等の各種排泄物又はこれらに由来する試料等も同様の工程で核酸抽出を行うことができる。核酸抽出方法の基本的な構成は一般的に使用されているBOOM法と同様である。BOOM法は、カオトロピック試薬とシリカなどとを組み合わせた核酸抽出技術であり、カオトロピックイオンの存在下で、核酸がシリカ表面に吸着することを利用したものである。
抽出フィルターカートリッジ12は、抽出フィルターカートリッジ移動手段によって廃液ウェル10の上部へ移送される(S1)。一方、サンプルウェル13に添加された血液は分注ピペットによって吸引される(S2)。そして、血液は試薬ウェル中の溶解液に移送され、溶解液と混合することにより、核酸(DNA)が血球より溶出される(S3)。この際に試薬ウェル上の保護フィルム14aを、分注ピペット先端で破って分注する様態とすることにより、作業時まで試薬の密閉性が保たれることから、汚染や劣化をさせることなく抽出作業が実現できる。血液は、分注ピペットによって生体物質を溶解するカオトロピック試薬(溶解液)が充填された試薬ウェル5へ添加される(図6)。溶解液と血液は、試薬ウェル内でピペットを用いて混合液の吐出及び吸引を繰り返すことにより、完全に混合させ、生体物質を溶解させることができる。
核酸が吸着したフィルターの洗浄プロセスは、洗浄液が入った試薬ウェル3から分注手段によって分注され、前記抽出フィルターカートリッジ12に添加される(S8)。次に加圧エアを用いた抽出フィルター加圧手段によりフィルターに吸着および結合されなかった不純物質が廃液ウェル10に押し出される(S9)。吸着された核酸は、試薬ウェル7の洗浄液を用いて、この洗浄プロセスを複数回繰り返すことにより洗浄される(S10,S11)。なお複数の分注ピペット(分注ピペットチップ17)を備えている場合には、上記洗浄プロセス又は下記回収プロセスにおいて、異なる試薬を用いる際に交換しても良い。
核酸の回収には、回収ウェル11が用いられる。まず抽出フィルターカートリッジ12が、清浄なウェルである回収ウェル11に回収できるように抽出フィルターカートリッジ移動手段により回収ウェル11の上部へ移送される(S12)。溶出試薬ウェル9の溶出液は、分注機によって分注ピペットチップ17によって抽出フィルターカートリッジ12に添加される(S13)。また同様に加圧ノズル15により加圧エアにより、抽出フィルターカートリッジ12から溶出した核酸が溶出液とともに回収ウェル11に回収される(S14)。さらに、試薬ウェル8の希釈液で回収された溶液の濃度を調整することができる。
