Description

Technical Field
The utility model relates to an external diagnosis field, concretely relates to quick nucleic acid detecting system and device.
Background
Nucleic acid detection, also known as molecular detection, is a diagnostic by detecting the genetic material nucleic acid of viruses, and is a gold standard for the diagnosis of various viral infectious diseases; for example, the method can be used for detecting Coronavirus (CoV), which is a pathogenic microorganism seriously harming human and livestock health and is commonly found in nature, natural hosts comprise human, cattle, pig, dog, bird, cat, bat, rat and the like, and the genetic change is easy to occur in the evolution process due to the wide host characteristics and the self genome structure, so that the genetic diversity is presented, and new coronaviruses and subtypes continuously appear. The number of coronavirus known to infect humans is 7, namely human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and OC43(HCoV-OC43) discovered in the 60 th generation of the 20 th century, SARS coronavirus newly appearing in 2003 (sever acuterpityriasis syndrome virus, SARS-CoV), human coronavirus NL63(HCoV-NL63) discovered in 2004, human coronavirus hong kong I (HCoV-HKU1) newly discovered in 2005, middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) appearing in the middle east area in 2012, and novel coronavirus (sever acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) in 2020.
The SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection can provide direct evidence for diagnosis, and in the current latest version of diagnosis and treatment scheme, the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid is still the only basis for diagnosis. Compared with immunoassay, the nucleic acid detection has high sensitivity, strong specificity and short window period, and is generally 3-5 days (theoretically, nucleic acid can be detected only by infecting mucosa). However, since nucleic acid detection usually requires four steps of sampling, inactivation, nucleic acid extraction, and detection on a computer, the detection time is long, especially when the nucleic acid detection technology used is the most common Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in the industry at present, it takes more than 6 hours for a batch of samples to be tested and reported finally. If the PCR technology is used for detecting the nucleic acid of the new coronavirus, the detection result cannot be timely and effectively obtained, so that the response speed of preventing and controlling the epidemic situation can be influenced to a certain extent. Although the nucleic acid kit has an unsatisfactory place at present, the nucleic acid detection is expected to be a gold standard for noninvasive diagnosis of the new coronavirus all the time due to the core value and methodological advantages of pathogen detection in infection diagnosis and under further improvement of multiple ways.
Notomi et al, a novel molecular detection technique for isothermal amplification of specific fragments of nucleic acids in vitro in 2000, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), was developed. The technology utilizes 2 pairs of special primers to identify 6 sections of a target gene, DNA polymerase with strand displacement activity circularly generates a circular single-strand structure at the joint of the primers at two ends of a template under a constant temperature condition (60-65 ℃), and can carry out efficient and specific strand displacement amplification reaction on a target gene within 1 hour. Compared with the conventional PCR, the method does not need the processes of repeated temperature change, electrophoretic interpretation and the like, is higher than the PCR technology in technical indexes such as sensitivity, specificity, detection range and the like, can realize on-site rapid detection without depending on a special instrument, and has far lower cost than the PCR method.
Therefore, the LAMP technology is applied to virus detection, related diseases can be accurately and efficiently diagnosed, and research on the novel coronavirus is facilitated.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Definition of
The following definitions apply herein unless otherwise indicated.
The terms "comprising," "including," and "having" (and variations thereof) are used interchangeably to mean including, but not necessarily limited to, and are open-ended terms that are not intended to exclude additional unrecited elements or method steps.
Terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used to distinguish or identify various members of a concept such as a group, and are not intended to represent sequential or numerical limitations.
Sample preparation: "sample", "sample" are used interchangeably to refer to a compound, composition, and/or mixture of interest from any suitable source. A sample is a general object of interest for a test that analyzes an aspect of the sample, such as an aspect associated with at least one analyte that may be present in the sample. The sample may be analyzed for its natural state at the time of collection and/or for an altered state, e.g., caused by: storing, preserving, extracting, lysing, diluting, concentrating (concentrating), purifying, filtering, mixing with one or more reagents, pre-amplifying (e.g., target enrichment by performing limited cycles of PCR on the sample prior to PCR (e.g., < 15)), removing amplicons (e.g., treating with uracil-d-glycosylase (UDG) prior to PCR to eliminate any carryover contamination by previously generated amplicons (i.e., amplicons can be digested with UDG because it was generated with dUTP instead of dTTP)), partitioning, or any combination thereof, and the like. Clinical samples may include nasopharyngeal washes, blood, plasma, acellular plasma, buffy coat, saliva, urine, stool, sputum, mucus, wound swabs, tissue biopsies, milk, fluid aspirates, swabs (e.g., nasopharyngeal swabs), and/or tissues, and the like. The utility model discloses a sample mainly indicates clinical sample.
Reagent: compounds, compositions of compounds and/or compositions that are combined with a sample to perform a particular test on the sample. The reagent may be a target-specific reagent, which is any reagent composition that makes a particular target or analyte in the assay specific for detection. Alternatively, the reagent may comprise a chemical reactant and/or a binding partner for the test. The reagents may for example include: at least one nucleic acid, protein (e.g., enzyme), cell, virus, organelle, macromolecular assembly, potential drug, lipid, carbohydrate, inorganic substance, or any combination thereof, and can be an aqueous composition, and the like. In exemplary embodiments, the reagents may be amplification reagents, which may include at least one primer or at least one pair of primers for amplifying a nucleic acid target, at least one probe and/or dye that enables detection of amplification, a polymerase, nucleotides (dntps and/or NTPs), divalent magnesium ions, potassium chloride, buffers, or any combination thereof, and the like.
Nucleic acid (A): a compound comprising a nucleotide monomer chain. A nucleic acid can be single-stranded or double-stranded (i.e., form base pairs with another nucleic acid), and the like. The nucleic acid strand may comprise any suitable number of monomers, such as at least about ten or one hundred, and the like. Generally, nucleic acid strands have a length corresponding to their origin, synthetic nucleic acids (e.g., primers and probes) are generally shorter, while biologically/enzymatically produced nucleic acids (e.g., nucleic acid analytes) are generally longer. The nucleic acid used by the utility model is limited to the nucleic acid of the novel coronavirus, and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus; thus, the nucleic acid detection refers to RNA nucleic acid detection.
The sequence of the nucleic acid is defined by the order in which the nucleobases are arranged along the backbone. This sequence generally determines the ability of a nucleic acid to bind specifically to a partner strand (or form an intramolecular duplex) through hydrogen bonding. In particular, adenine pairs with thymine (or uracil), and guanine pairs with cytosine. Nucleic acids that can bind to another nucleic acid in an antiparallel manner by forming a contiguous string of such base pairs with the other nucleic acid are said to be "complementary".
Amplification: the reaction of replication to form multiple copies of at least one segment of the template molecule is repeated over time. Amplification can produce an exponential or linear increase in copy number as amplification proceeds. Typical amplification produces over a 1000-fold increase in copy number and/or signal.
"reverse transcription" refers to the formation of complementary DNA from an RNA template, such as any suitable transcription product. Reverse transcription can be performed with enzymes that catalyze this process. Exemplary enzymes that may be suitable include reverse transcriptases (e.g., MLV-RT, Tth polymerase, AMV-RT, HIV-RT, etc.). The enzyme may also be capable of synthesizing DNA using the DNA as a template, and in some cases, may be capable of amplifying a target sequence. The enzyme may be sufficiently thermostable to allow heating of the partition to open the partition without destroying reverse transcription activity of the enzyme. Reverse transcription and reverse transcription are used interchangeably.
The enzyme with strand displacement activity can perform strand displacement and amplification at a constant temperature, and can include, but is not limited to, Bst polymerase (such as Bst polymerase 1.0 and Bst polymerase 2.0), Gsp polymerase, and other DNA polymerases with similar high strand displacement activity. The magnesium salt may be magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride. The magnesium salt is primarily used to catalyze the activity of the strand-displacement DNA polymerase.
In the present invention, the enzyme having strand displacement activity and the enzyme having reverse transcription activity may be the same enzyme, for example, Bst polymerase 4.0.
Primer: a nucleic acid capable of and/or for use in priming replication of a nucleic acid template. Thus, a primer is a shorter nucleic acid that is complementary to a longer template. During replication, the primer is extended based on the template sequence to produce a longer nucleic acid, which is a complementary copy of the template. The primer may be DNA, RNA, analogs thereof (i.e., artificial nucleic acids), or any combination thereof. The primer can be of any suitable length, such as at least about 10, 15, 20, or 30 nucleotides. Exemplary primers are chemically synthesized. The primers may be provided in the form of at least one pair of primers for amplifying at least one nucleic acid target. The pair of primers may be a sense primer and an antisense primer that together define opposite ends of the resulting amplicon (and thus define the length of the resulting amplicon).
Unless otherwise indicated, all chemical reagents referred to in the following description are commercially available reagents.
The dNTPs may be dNTPs conventional in the art, including dATP, dGTP, dTTP and dCTP.
"reconstitution liquid", "reconstitution solvent" are used interchangeably to mean reconstituting a dry powder nucleic acid amplification reagent into an aqueous solution reagent.
