Background

The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology is widely applied to a plurality of fields such as genetic disease molecular diagnosis, clinical examination, animal and plant import and export quarantine, food safety monitoring, soil microorganism detection, paternity test and the like. Because samples such as blood, food, soil and the like contain a large amount of inhibiting factors such as hemoglobin, methemoglobin, lactoferrin, humic acid and the like, the Taq DNA polymerase has obvious inhibiting effect on the conventional Taq DNA polymerase. Therefore, nucleic acids must be isolated from these test samples and then used for PCR amplification. Nucleic acid extraction is the first step of nucleic acid detection, and is also one of the key methods in molecular biology. Provides a basis for downstream nucleic acid detection, and the quality and integrity of extraction directly influence clinical research or diagnosis.

The general nucleic acid extraction process comprises three steps: lysis, binding and purification of the sample. The traditional extraction reagent has relatively low extraction rate and complex steps, thus bringing certain influence on extraction work, and particularly being difficult to obtain qualified nucleic acid when the sample amount is rare. In addition, the traditional method has the disadvantages of multiple operation steps, high cost, large sample requirement, easy cross contamination and inconvenience for customers to quickly extract and purify nucleic acid samples.

In addition, in the current real-time fluorescence PCR technology with the widest application of nucleic acid detection, most reagents are not ready-to-use, so that the problems of complicated operation, high labor and cost and the like of PCR detection generally exist, complicated configuration work is required before use, and errors and even failures of tests are easily caused. Experimental errors also arise from different personnel operations; the rapid extraction of nucleic acid by one-step method cannot be realized; PCR detection reagents need to be manually configured on site, multiple steps need to be manually marked, detection instruments at all stages are independent, and full-automatic treatment of a large number of test samples is not facilitated.
