Abstract

The invention provides a dynamic imaging method used for agarose gel electrophoresis. The method dynamically acquires the continuously passing spectrum band information in the electrophoresis process through an ultraviolet light source arranged under an electrophoresis tank and a CCD imaging component above the electrophoresis tank, meanwhile, an embedded computer system generates a spectrum band image which is displayed on a built-in LCD display screen in real time. The method has the advantages that the electrophoresis process is simultaneous with the imaging process, process results can be observed in real time on the display screen in the electrophoresis process without taking out a gel tray. The excessive long electrophoresis time will not influence the results. The required electrophoresis voltage can also be low relatively because the gel tray can be rather short in the method.

Description

A kind of agarose gel electrophoresis dynamic imaging method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the bands of a spectrum dynamic imagery method in the gel electrophoresis imaging technique in the Biochemistry Experiment, particularly agarose gel electrophoresis analytic process.
Background technology
Electrophoresis is an experimental technique commonly used in the biological chemistry.And nucleic acid electrophoresis is to identify one of means that nucleic acid is the most frequently used (the present invention is exactly a kind of new image formation method that proposes at the nucleic acid gel electrophoresis).
At present, laboratory amplifying nucleic acid gel image device generally includes a ultraviolet light electrophoresis gel scope, gel imaging system and a robot calculator and corresponding image analysis processing software.The first step of imaging process obtains after with electrophoresis, and the gel offset plate that is loaded with nucleic acid places on the scope, when ultraviolet light passes gel, makes the nucleic acid that has fluorescent agent present the band diagram picture under the effect of ultraviolet light; Second step of imaging process is to obtain the band diagram picture by digital camera on the gel imaging system or scanner, is sent in the robot calculator by cable; The 3rd step was by the spectral band analysis process software of computing machine, bands of a spectrum observed and handled, and with result's preservation of depositing.Owing to limit by principle of work, the electrophoresis process of this classic method and imaging process are separately carried out.Thereby, can not continuous imaging in electrophoresis process, also just mean, can not carry out Real Time Observation to the bands of a spectrum in the electrophoresis process, generally all be ability imaging after electrophoresis is finished, and observes if need midway, also must close the electrophoresis apparatus power supply, pull the gel offset plate out, repeat above-mentioned steps.So traditional electrophoresis formation method is a kind of quiescent imaging method.And the classic method equipment needed thereby is many, troublesome poeration, and the also difficult correct time of determining electrophoresis, and electrophoresis time is long, the laboratory sample bands of a spectrum can pass gel, even might cause the failure of an experiment.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiency of conventional electrophoretic method, a kind of method of agarose gel electrophoresis dynamic imaging is provided, this method makes electrophoresis process and imaging process to carry out simultaneously.
The present invention solves the method that its technical matters adopts: in (agarose) gel electrophoresis process, ultraviolet light is radiated on the gel, generates the band diagram picture by imageing sensor and computer real-time, and electrophoresis process and imaging process are carried out simultaneously.A ultraviolet light source promptly is set below electrophoresis tank, and the correspondence position above electrophoresis tank, adorn a line array CCD image-forming assembly.
Constituting of a whole set of imaging device that this method is related: in electrophoresis tank, be provided with gel offset plate, electrode and damping fluid, there is a shadow shield below of electrophoresis tank, below shadow shield, be provided with the ultraviolet light source of band snoot, the position corresponding with ultraviolet light source is provided with the line array CCD image-forming assembly above electrophoresis tank, this assembly is connected with an embedded computer system, and this computer system is connected to a built-in LCD display.
During work, the gel offset plate lies in a horizontal plane in the bottom and can see through in the electrophoresis tank of ultraviolet light, after starting the electrophoresis working routine, electrode adds electrophoretic voltage, electrophoresis begins to carry out, nucleic acid samples passes through between ultraviolet light source and image-forming assembly gradually, and in the sample time of each setting, ultraviolet light source is once glittering, light passes a very narrow transverse slot from bottom to top, form a horizontal light belt, when light passes nucleic acid samples in the gel, by the line array CCD image-forming assembly, obtain the image information of horizontal delegation bands of a spectrum, along with the carrying out of electrophoresis, by built-in embedded computer system, the bands of a spectrum image information that an every trade is obtained, speed according to time and sample electrophoresis, calculate the relevant position of bands of a spectrum, and by built-in LCD display in electrophoresis, dynamically demonstrate the band diagram picture.Adjust the sample period, can change the radial resolution of image.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows that electrophoresis process and imaging process are carried out simultaneously, in the electrophoresis process, can be on display screen to process Real Time Observation as a result, and need not to pull out the gel offset plate.Even electrophoresis time is long, can not exert an influence to the result yet.Because the gel offset plate can be shorter in the method, so required electrophoretic voltage also can be relatively low.
