The invention discloses a nucleic acid protective liquid and an application thereof for long-term storage and transportation of a tissue sample at constant temperature. The nucleic acid protective liquid comprises the following components: D-glucose, 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid, inorganic salt, amino acids, choline chloride, folic acid, nicotinamide, inositol, vitamin A, vitamin H, vitamin E, Holo-human transferrin, bovine serum albumin, N-(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine, insulin, adrenalone, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, progesterone, penicillin, streptomycin, amphotericin B and water. The nucleic acid protective liquid is low in cost. By using the nucleic acid protective liquid, nucleic acid in the tissue sample is long in storage time at room temperature, and the obtained nucleic acid is high in concentration and great in total amount. A preparation method for the nucleic acid protective liquid is simple and fast.
