A kind of freeze drying protectant and freeze drying process of RNA amplification reaction reagent
Technical field
The present invention relates to biological technical field, and in particular to a kind of freeze drying protectant of RNA amplification reaction reagent and lyophilizing
Method.
Background technology
Real-Time Fluorescent Quantitative PCR Technique is to be released by Applied Biosystems companies of the U.S. for 1996, the technology
Refer to and add fluorophor in PCR reaction systems, using fluorescence signal the whole PCR processes of real-time monitoring are accumulated, finally by
Standard curve carries out quantitative analyses to unknown template.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR is a kind of in DNA amplification reaction, with Fluoresceinated
Learn the method that material detects product total amount after each polymerase chain reaction (PCR) circulation.By fluorescence signal, to PCR processes
Carry out real-time detection.Due to the exponential time base expanded in PCR, there is linear closing in the Ct values of template and the starting copy number of the template
System, so becoming quantitative foundation.The features such as Real-Time Fluorescent Quantitative PCR Technique has quick, special, sensitive.
In recent years, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR reagent is widely used in food inspection, pathogen detection and oncogene diagnosis etc.
Aspect.But quantitative fluorescent PCR reagent requires harshness in storage and transport condition, generally requires and is stored in -20 DEG C and to molten
Liquid number of freezing and thawing is restricted, generally needs dry ice to transport.If these conditions are not being met, can be outstanding to the performance of PCR reagent
It is that sensitivity causes very big impact, even results in reagent failure.
PCR reagent to being applied to RNA, system domestic demand include reverse transcriptase to RNA using sequence reverse transcription into DNA as mould
Plate enters again performing PCR amplification, and the most suitable operating temperature of reverse transcriptase is about 37 DEG C~60 DEG C, gathers with respect to 94 DEG C of DNA of operating temperature
It is more sensitive to temperature for synthase, therefore RNA class PCR detectable is more sensitive to storage temperature.
Lyophilization is exactly, containing large quantity of moisture material, cooling to be carried out in advance and is frozen into solid, then in the bar of vacuum
Solid water is set directly to distil out, and in the left ice shelf when freezing of material itself under part, therefore constancy of volume after it is dried,
It is loose porous to absorb heat in distillation.Cause the decline of product self-temperature and slow down rate of sublimation, in order to increase distillation
Speed, shortens drying time, it is necessary to which product is suitably heated.Whole drying is carried out at a lower temperature.It is cold
Lyophilizing is dry to be carried out at low temperature, therefore particularly suitable for the material of many thermal sensitivitys.After reagent lyophilizing, 95% water is excluded
Part, and protein, microorganism etc will not occur degeneration or lose biologos, dried product can room temperature preserve and not
Mutagens matter, therefore Freeze Drying Technique pharmaceutically widely applied.
