Proposed is an integrated molecular diagnosis apparatus including a buffer tube into which a sample collection tool collecting a sample is inserted, the buffer tube preparing a sample solution that contains nucleic acid extracted from the collected sample, a cartridge combined with the buffer tube and supplied with the sample solution, the cartridge transporting the sample solution to a reaction chamber through a fluid channel and performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction, and a diagnosis module main body detachably combined with the cartridge, the diagnosis module main body supplying heat at a predetermined temperature to the reaction chamber, detecting the nucleic acid amplification reaction, and determining whether or not a diagnosis target is present.
