Graphene accelerated PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology

Abstract

The invention provides a graphene accelerated PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology, in particular an integrated novel modified PCR technology integrating a novel material graphene and PCR and being capable of accelerating nucleic acid amplification, and aims to increase contact between nucleic acid molecules, accelerate PCR process and reduce nonspecific amplification in a PCR system by utilizing the characteristics of adsorption and high-specific surface of graphene. The graphene accelerated PCR technology relates to the field of nucleic acid amplification in molecular biology and molecular tests, is a theoretical innovation integrating the novel material graphene and PCR detection, and can be used for increasing the contact probability of nucleic acid molecules by utilizing the characteristics of adsorption and high-specific surface of graphene, integrating a PCR to slowly release one or various ingredients, combining mineral oil or liquid petrolatum to seal and isolate the external environment, and solving the problem of false positivity caused by over-long reaction time of the PCR and increase of nonspecific amplification due to over-long reaction time of the PCR.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nucleic acid amplification of molecular biology and molecular testing, and specifically relates to increasing the contact between nucleic acid molecules through graphene adsorption and high specific surface characteristics, accelerating the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) process and reducing non-specific The technical field of heterosexual amplification. Background technique: [0002] Nucleic acid amplification is a highly innovative technology evolved with the development of human genetics, especially the discovery of DNA double strands. In 1983, Kary Mullis of PE-Cetus Company in the United States inadvertently produced the inspiration for nucleic acid amplification: to simulate the natural exponential replication process of DNA in test tubes. The basic principle is to provide suitable reaction systems such as oligonucleotide primers, DNA polymerases, DNA templates, and buffer systems. After DNA denaturation, ...
