Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9808978A1] An apparatus for processing samples containing DNA to produce a sequencing fragment mixture comprises a sample processing element comprising: a thermocycling region having one or more chambers for receiving a DNA sequencing reaction mixture and forming sequencing fragments therefrom; a separation region comprising a separation matrix for separating the sequencing fragments formed in the thermocycling regions; a detection region for detection of the separated sequencing fragments; and means for regulating the temperature in the thermocycling region of the sample processing element to provide a plurality of thermal cycles, each cycle including at least a denaturation phase and an extension phase. The apparatus for processing sample can be placed in a holder which is associated with means for applying an electric field to the separation region of a sample processing apparatus placed within the holder to cause polynucleotide sequencing fragments to migrate through the separation region from the thermocycling region to the detection region; and means for detecting polynucleotide fragments within the detection region of the sample processing apparatus placed within the holder.
