Summary:According to an embodiment of the present invention, disclosed are a nucleic acid extraction apparatus and an operating method thereof. The apparatus can comprise: a container for storing a cleaning solution and an eluent solution, respectively; a water level sensor for detecting the volumes of the cleaning solution and the eluent solution stored in the container; a tube detecting sensor for detecting a sample tube disposed in a sample tube accommodating unit; and an operation starting unit for determining whether the cleaning solution and the eluent solution required for nucleic acid extraction operation are prepared, on the basis of the number of sample tubes detected by the tube detecting sensor and the volumes of the cleaning solution and the eluent solution detected by the water level sensor. The present invention can prevent unnecessary waste of resources such as samples. 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따라, 핵산 추출 장치 및 그 동작 방법이 개시된다. 상기 장치는 세정액 및 용출액이 각각 저장되는 컨테이너; 상기 컨테이너에 저장된 상기 세정액 및 상기 용출액의 용량을 감지하는 수위 센서; 샘플 튜브 수용부에 배치된 샘플 튜브를 감지하는 튜브 감지 센서; 및 상기 튜브 감지 센서에 의해 감지된 샘플 튜브의 개수와 상기 수위 센서에 의해 감지된 상기 세정액 및 상기 용출액의 상기 용량에 기초하여 핵산 추출 동작에 필요한 상기 세정액 및 상기 용출액이 구비되어 있는지 판단하는 동작 개시부를 포함할 수 있다.
