Zymolyte also is to use it usually Biological reagent of the present invention.
Being used for can be from natural origin at the stable biological reagent of storage, animal, plant, fungi Or bacterium separates, maybe can be by producing from the cell by fermentation and artificial incubation growth and from its branch From. This kind cell can be or can not be the cell of genetic transformation.
Another development of the present invention is that to store surpassing of reaction system in glass reagent ball a kind of Reagent. This can be used for need to for example measure or diagnostic kit in the material that uses together.
In single glassy preparation store reagents with for final purposes easily form provide They. For example, if measure the combination need substrate or co-factor and enzyme, so can with two kinds or All these three kinds of materials are stored in glassy reagent ball neutralization with the concentration ratio of needs and are ready for Measure.
If the storage plurality of reagents then can mix them in aqueous emulsion, then one Rise and incorporate in the glass. Alternatively, can individually they be incorporated in the glass separately into described separating Glass after be mixed together.
When storing multiple examination as single composition (it can be two kinds of glass that mix) During agent, one or more reagent can be protein, peptide, nucleosides, nucleotides or enzyme cofactor. Reagent may can be simpler kind also. For example, standard test program may need pyruvic acid Salt and NADH are present in together. Both can store separately with acceptable stability. Yet, When placing the aqueous solution together, they begin reaction. If the ratio with needs places glass together In the time of in the glass shape reagent ball, they do not react, and glass can be stored. About reaction, we refer to Any biochemical reaction.

Can use the rules of basis embodiment 1 hereinafter to estimate any potential biological reagent.Therefore, make suitable biological reagent stable in the reagent ball, as determined by the functional test among functional test such as the embodiment 1.
Form the packing material of glass
The example that can be used for the packing material of formation glass of the present invention comprises for example FICOLL of carbohydrate TM, sucrose, glucose, trehalose, melezitose, DEXTRAN TMAnd mannitol; Protein is BSA, gelatin and collagen for example; And polymer for example PEG and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).The packing material of formation glass is FICOLL preferably TMPolymer, BSA, sucrose, DEXTRAN TMOr its combination.Being used for the packing material that most preferably forms glass of the present invention is FICOLL TMPolymer.
Preparation
Determine the preparation of the high-viscosity mixture of biological reagent, the packing material that forms glass and water by iterative method (iterative process).At first, people determine the whole working concentration that system wishes.Concentration is represented with molarity usually.Each biological reagent can have different prescriptions.The second, these concentration are transformed into weight/dosage basis (basis) (for solid) and volume/dosage basis (for liquid).
The 3rd, the initial value of the percent solids concentration of selection high-viscosity mixture and the volume of mixture of hope.55% solid concentration has shown that performance is good.Be higher than 62% solid concentration, mixture is too sticking so that can not distribute.If Emulsion is wished, be lower than 52% solid concentration, mixture is too rare, and drying is transparent and hard.If the gala agent is wished, and is allowed 10% lower limit.About " solid of % ", we are meant that (solid weight multiply by 100) is divided by (liquid weight+solid weight).
Enter solution if allow to form the material of glass, then mixture is hard with glass with drying.Therefore, the mixture of hope is Emulsion but not solution.About Emulsion, we are meant saturated mixture, thus exist biphase, solid phase and liquid phase.For example, the present invention is the gala agent of the packing material of the formation glass in biological reagent/buffer.Solid existence provides opaque to white to Emulsion.When drying, high viscosity Emulsion still forms glass, passes through with Informal water but can obtain aperture on the surface, and quickens the dissolving of exsiccant reagent formulation.Emulsion should have white.If it is transparent, its most probable is hard with glass with drying, thereby and, will be atresia.About porosity, we are meant that exsiccant preparation reagent comprises the bag that helps the dissolved bubble of described preparation.Preferred porosity allows preparation to dissolve in about 2 minutes or less time.
Another kind of form of the present invention provides and has been characterised in that and is the packing material of the formation glass of gala agent and the mixture of biological reagent/buffer.About this mixture, we are meant the mixture with at least some Emulsion character.Gala agent of the present invention can form by using above-mentioned iterative method to make solid concentration reach about 10% to about 50%.Distribution and dry gala agent form exsiccant reagent formulation then.
The 4th, people's calculating can be used the number from the producible dosage of gram number of the material of every dosage formation glass of second step.
The 5th, the number of using dosage and from the weight/dosage ratio of second step, people determine the weight/volume of other components.At last, use the weight and volume of determining in the 5th step, people calculate the percent solids of whole mixture.If the whole percent solids of mixture outside the scope of hope, then people use another initial value repeat the 3rd to the 6th step until final value in correct scope.
Can use the material of estimating any potential formation glass according to the rules of above-mentioned iterative method.Therefore, the material production of suitable formation glass have acceptable hardness, size, shape, a T g, porosity, dissolubility and stability reagent formulation.
Porous container
The example that is used to prepare the porous container of exsiccant reagent formulation comprises polystyrene board, silicon dioxide mold etc.Preferably, porous plate is to have the standard size that makes it possible to use the standard thermal cycler that is used for application examples such as PCR and the porous plate of layout.
Usually, porous container comprises two zones, porose area and borders.The border can be any size, shape or thickness, but is preferably formed the porous platform with outside size similar to the outside size of the commercial microtitration plate in standard 96 holes or 384 holes, and its size is taken advantage of length 127.75mm for the about 85.5mm of width.
Usually, plate comprises many cavities that are arranged in the grid.These cavities are called the hole and are used as the reaction vessels of indivedual reactions, or are used for the hold-up vessel of individual samples.The hole will be with the two-dimensional linear arrayed on the porous platform.Yet the hole can for example how much or non-geometric array provide with the array of any kind.The number in hole can be 96 a multiple in these scopes, preferably multiply by 96 integer square.
Hole in the commercial plate has standard usually through design interval.96 orifice plates have 12 row and 8 row, interval 9mm between the center in adjacent hole.384 orifice plates have 24 row and 16 row, interval 4.5mm between the center in adjacent hole.1536 orifice plates have 48 row and 32 row, are spaced apart 2.25mm between the center in adjacent hole.The microtitration plate of half of the above-mentioned form of also use formation.Also obtainable is the pore area that has similar interval between the center in adjacent hole.Have these sizes porous container can for example porous platform changer (translocator) be compatible with reader (calling in this area as them) with robotics (robotics) and instrument.
The material that is used to prepare the porous platform will be generally polymer, because these materials make them be suitable for most of technologies of preparing.Preferably, select known polymer with low fluorescence or other character.The whole bag of tricks in this area can be used for confirming that the polymer of selecting has the character of hope.Polymeric material can promote method of molding by known in the art and exploitation in the future significantly, and for example insert moulding or injection molding carry out the preparation of plate.
The alternative of polymer sheet is the silicon dioxide mold of 96 holes and 384 well format.As shown in the embodiment hereinafter, the plate of 96 holes perforation silicon dioxide molding can be used for distributing and freeze-dried reagent.Advantage herein is should easily take out exsiccant reagent from mold after lyophilizing.
Mix and distribution
Be prepared as follows general preparation (the same dna marker preparation that uses) with embodiment:
Before use, usually employed all reagent are carried out autoclaving or filtration sterilization (filter of preferred 0.25 μ m).Prepare preparation, and it is stored until distribution on ice.For 200ml (being enough to be used in 20,000 single agent formulations) dna marker preparation, the Ficoll 400 of each 15g and Ficoll 70 and 20g melezitose are added about 90ml sterilized water, and on agitating plate, mix until dissolving.
With 50ml 20X concentration of DNA labelling buffer (200mM Tris pH 7.5,200mMMgCl 2, 1M NaCl) add with 10ml10mg/ml BSA solution.100mM ATP, the GTP and the TTP that add each 1ml.In case all reagent exist in solution, just preparation is stored on ice or under refrigerated condition until it and be used for distributing.Tightly before use, add 400Ku Klenow fragment archaeal dna polymerase (least concentration of stock solution should be 100Ku/ml so that glycerol concentration keeps below 1% in whole preparation).Equally tightly before use, the d (N) that adds 260 units of 1200A 9Primer.Before adding in preparation, primer should heat 7 minutes down at 65 ℃, and fast in cooled on ice.After adding enzyme and primer, final volume should use sterilized water to transfer to 200ml.The density of whole solution will be 1.14g/ml.
The final volume of the dosage that the per minute of reagent uniform solution is joined is usually little, 5-30 μ l for example, and preferred 10 μ l allow to produce the working volume of 10-100 μ l when being dissolved in the working solution when reagent formulation.
The uniform solution of the amount of pre-determining is dispensed into each hole of porous container, uses liquid to distribute automaton (robot) (96 holes/384 vent needles) usually.With 4 μ l to 20 μ l, but the volume of preferred 10 μ l distributes solution.
Drying means
Can be by the sample of lyophilization or lyophilization distribution.Suitable drying program produces has acceptable hardness, size, shape, T g, porosity, dissolubility and stability reagent formulation.
The cryodesiccated overview of general success is shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1
Exsiccant method for optimizing is via lyophilizing.The reagent that distributes has carried out successful drying in 96 or 384 hole polystyrene plates.Surprisingly, when the polystyrene thin-walled part being placed the metallic plate support of outfit and being in direct contact with it, drying means carries out better and compares with exsiccant plate under the situation of no metal rack, does not observe the foam or the flocculus (Fig. 1 and 4) of exsiccant reagent.The direct contact area that has increased the metal shelf indirectly that contacts of the outer wall in polystyrene hole (pipe) and the grommet of metallic plate support, this has obtained better heat passage to sample conversely.On the other hand, for each hole, it is flat that the silicon dioxide mold has heavy wall pipe, and the lyophilization in the silicon dioxide mold is reasonably well carried out under the situation of not using metal rack.This may contact and the thermal transport property of silicon dioxide owing to mold and freeze dryer shelf better.Preferred freeze dried overview is shown in Table 2 below.Note, before carrying out follow procedure, sample under-46 ℃ in freeze dryer freezing 1 hour.

Store
We have successfully prepared the stable biological reagent of tablet, cylinder and cubic form in based on the plate of polystyrene and silicon dioxide or mold.Our technology allowable temperature sensitive protein matter and nucleic acid molecules are stablized the stable at ambient temperature single agent form that changes into.Single agent form (pearl or cake) can comprise the required buffer agent of pre-assigned specific assay, salt, detergent and nucleotide etc., uses described molecule in described mensuration.These enzymes and combination can be used for many kinds of molecular biology uses, and includes but not limited to the synthetic application of PCR, RT-PCR, PCR in real time, whole genome amplification, in vitro transcription and cDNA.
Our method has been eliminated splashing in the liquid nitrogen or freezing needs to the cold surface reagent mixture is freezing, yet exsiccant reagent keeps good structural intergrity.Method has step still less in preparation process.When correct sealing, exsiccant reagent formulation can directly be stored in plate or the mold, and this has reduced preparation and packing cost significantly.Alternatively, can be used as tablet and take out exsiccant reagent from polyfiltronics 96 orifice plates, then it is stored in the bottle that the container of sealing is promptly added a cover from the silicon dioxide mold with as cubic block.
The sealing of plate or mold can be by following realization: medicated cap, band, hot activation band etc.In one embodiment of the invention, the sealing of plate seals by the hot activation of using AbGene ' s Thermo-Seal and Easy-Peel sheet and realizes.
Reagent formulation of the present invention is an ambient-temp-stable.About " ambient-temp-stable ", we are meant that preparation can be stored down at 22 ℃ and surpass 6 months, and it is compared with the activity of measuring behind the dried reagent in the first time, have to be less than 20% enzymatic activity and to lose.
Reagent formulation of the present invention has at least 10 ℃ glass transition temperature (T g).The T that reagent formulation is general gIt is 40 ℃.At least 40 ℃ T gTo guarantee the stability under room temperature (22 ℃).Preferred T gIt is 45 ℃.Glass transition temperature is such temperature, promptly is higher than this temperature, and the viscosity of glassy material reduces fast and glassy material is transformed into rubber, be transformed into then in addition higher temperature under be transformed into fluidic deformable plastics.
Glass transition temperature is as the important indicator of stability of formulation.Be lower than T gTemperature or near at that time, sample remains stable glass.When rising, temperature is higher than T gThe time, sample becomes rubber and unstable.T gUse differential scanning calorimetry to measure.2-5mg (1-2 the ball of pulverizing) sample is placed aluminum pot.Make the sample experience determine the T of sample from 0 ℃ to 100 ℃ controlled temperature program by speed with 10 ℃/minute gMeasurement flow to sample and is expressed as change (shift) the baseline from the effusive heat of sample and with it.T gBe expressed as temperature at the mid point of this baseline change.
General porosity allows ball to be dissolved in the 20 μ l water in 1 minute or shorter time.Preferred porosity will allow to dissolve in 30 seconds or shorter time.
The method that we prepare with glass-faced (glassified) biological reagent preparation provides several advantages.Preparation method is simplified greatly.Reagent mixture directly is dispensed into the hole of porous plate, and described porous plate has the standard format identical with commercial microtitration plate.This has eliminated the needs that freezing reagent in liquid nitrogen or on cold surface is dripped.The mixture of freezing distribution then, lyophilizing in the hole, and also it can be stored in the hole.This has eliminated pearl or cake are transferred to the needs of hold-up vessel from dry pot.Because exsiccant compositions can be stored in the porous plate, so described compositions can be used in the subsequent working flow process of automatization.The robotics system can be used for disposable plates.
In addition, the compositions of preparation is stable at ambient temperature.This has saved cost of transportation (no dry ice transportation), has eliminated the needs that cold closet is stored and shortened the reagent preparation time (do not have and melt).It provides convenience for subsequent user.Great majority can be measured the dependency component allocates in advance and stablizes into single agent form.The plastics consumer goods cost that it has been saved user time and has been used to prepare the main mixture (master mix) of reagent.It also provides the repeatability and the reliability that increase, because it has reduced danger and the error polluted.Use pre-assigned reactant to prepare compositions.This make sample treatment and move the liquid step be reduced to minimum, thereby reduced the danger of the pollution that produces by the user and moved the liquid error.
