Embodiment 1
[0116] Embodiment 1-use two-phase system to selectively separate and concentrate short-chain nucleic acid fragments (
[0117] A DNA ladder (GeneRuler 1kb plus DNA Ladder, Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added to 1 mL of 11% (w / w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and 20% (w / w) K 2 HPO 4 In an aqueous two-phase system composed of PBS solution, the final DNA concentration was 1 μg / mL. After thorough vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 10 s for phase separation. The volume ratio of the top phase to the bottom phase is about 1:3. Extract the top and bottom phases and transfer to new tubes separately. The extracted phases were subjected to ethanol precipitation and the precipitates were separated by gel electrophoresis in order to visualize the DNA size distribution in each phase as image 3 shown. Most nucleic acids larger than 250 bp are assigned to the bottom phase (right lane), while nucleic acids smaller than 250 bp are assigned to the top phase (left l...
Embodiment 2
[0121] Example 2 - Selective separation and concentration of short-chain nucleic acid fragments (
[0122] A DNA ladder (GeneRuler 1 kb plus DNA Ladder, Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added to 500 ul plasma samples. Add the standard-added plasma sample to 500 μl of 15% (w / w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000 and 15% (w / w) K 2 HPO 4 In a two-phase aqueous system composed of MilliQ aqueous solution, the final DNA concentration was 1 μg / mL. After thorough vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 10 s for phase separation. The volume ratio of the top phase to the bottom phase is approximately 1:1.
[0123] Extract the bottom phase and add another compound consisting of 11% (w / w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and 20% (w / w) K 2 HPO 4 Composition of ATPS solution. After thorough vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 10 s for phase separation. The volume ratio of the top phase to the bottom phase is about 1:3. Extract the top and bottom phases...
Embodiment 3
[0125] Example 3 - Comparison of the two-phase aqueous system with the QIAamp Blood DNA mini kit (Qiagen)
[0126] Digested DNA plasmids of different sizes (250, 200, 150, 100, 75, 50, 25 bp) were added to plasma samples to give a final DNA concentration of 100 ng / mL. Add 1 mL of the resulting standard-spiked plasma sample to 1 mL of 15% (w / w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000 and 15% (w / w) K 2 HPO 4 A two-phase aqueous system consisting of MilliQ aqueous solution. After thorough vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 10 s for phase separation. The volume ratio of the top phase to the bottom phase is approximately 1:1.
[0127] Extract the bottom phase and add another compound consisting of 8% (w / w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and 22% (w / w) K 2 HPO 4 Composition of ATPS solution. After thorough vortexing, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rcf for 10 s for phase separation. The volume ratio of the top phase to the bottom phase is about 1:5. Extra...
