Abstract: Disclosed is a molecular diagnosis cartridge which is formed so that a molecular diagnosis chip can be easily inserted therein. The molecular diagnosis cartridge accommodating the molecular diagnosis chip comprises: a cartridge bottom member arranged on the lower portion; a hinge sub-ring arranged along the outer circumference of the cartridge bottom member; a cartridge outline member which is accommodated in a space defined by the hinge sub-ring fastened with the cartridge bottom member; a chip sliding member which has a shape surrounding the molecular diagnosis chip, is arranged on the cartridge outline member, and accommodates the molecular diagnosis chip that is inserted in an inclined direction; and a torsion spring-like member which is fastened with a kind of a seesaw axle protruding from the inner wall of the cartridge outline member, supports the chip sliding member to be inclined with respect to the cartridge bottom member in an open mode operation, and supports the chip sliding member to be parallel to the cartridge bottom member in a close mode operation. According to the present invention, the molecular diagnosis chip is inclinedly inserted in the chip sliding member, and easiness in insertion of the molecular diagnosis chip can be achieved. Also, as the cartridge cover is pressed, the chip sliding member accommodating the molecular diagnosis chip makes a seesaw movement on the basis of the seesaw axle and is moved to the cartridge bottom member, and thus, the molecular diagnosis chip arranged in the chip sliding member can be seated in the molecular diagnosis cartridge.
