1. A gene sequencing reaction device, comprising:
a supporting platform;
a dipping container disposed on the supporting platform, wherein the dipping container has a dipping reaction area configured to hold a chemical reagent for gene sequencing reaction, so as to dip a sequencing chip having a DNA sample loading structure on the surface and having a DNA sample loaded thereon in the chemical reagent to perform a gene sequencing reaction;
a transfer apparatus, configured to insert the sequencing chip into the dipping reaction area or pull out the sequencing chip from the dipping reaction area;
a chip supplying storage apparatus, configured to contain the sequencing chip on which the gene sequencing reaction is about to be performed; and/or,
a chip unloading storage apparatus, configured to contain the sequencing chip on which the gene sequencing reaction has been completed; and
wherein the chip supplying storage apparatus and/or the chip unloading storage apparatus comprises:
a chip storage box, wherein the top of the chip storage box is open and is provided with a slot and a drain hole, the slot is configured to position and contain the sequencing chip, and the drain hole is formed in a bottom wall of the chip storage box to discharge liquid in the chip storage box; and
a liquid storage box disposed below the drain hole for receiving the liquid discharged from the drain hole.
