Problems solved by technology

However, glass tubes are inconvenient to transport and are easily broken during transportation, resulting in waste of samples and environmental pollution. Therefore, in recent years, PET materials have gradually replaced glass tubes and are widely used in clinical medicine due to their advantages of light weight, pressure resistance, non-fragility, and easy transportation. use
However, the preservation tube made of PET material has poor airtightness and water retention. The PET body fluid sample storage tube made of PET tube combined with a large volume of liquid preservation solution (about 1ml) will gradually volatilize the preservation solution in the preservation tube at room temperature. After that, the solution matrix (such as water) will evaporate completely, and the crystallization of the effective components in the preservation solution will be formed at the bottom of the tube.
During use of this type of storage tube, after adding blood and other body fluids, invert and mix according to the routine operating procedures. The crystalline components are not easy to dissolve completely, which increases the difficulty of operation during use, and the effect of sample preservation will also be affected.
Moreover, due to the different volumes of storage solution remaining in storage tubes with different storage periods, the total volume of sample solutions in different sample tubes after blood collection varies from high to low. When subsequent sampling is performed according to a fixed operation process, the actual sampling consistency cannot be achieved. Guaranteed, resulting in the stability of the sample test results cannot be effectively guaranteed
In addition, the matrix of the sample preservation solution volatilizes, the total volume of the sample solution becomes smaller after sampling, the concentration of effective preservation components in the sample solution becomes higher, and the osmotic pressure of the solution changes, which may cause cell rupture in the sample, resulting in the release of gDNA, resulting in genomic nucleic acid contamination
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a free DNA sample collection and storage tube made of PET material. The optimized preservative is attached to the tube wall in the form of atomization, which solves the disadvantage of poor water retention performance of PET tubes and greatly prolongs the sample storage tube. The shelf life is long, and it is also conducive to the full mixing of the collected body fluid samples and the free DNA protective agent. The nuclease stabilizes the cfDNA in it, and effectively avoids the release of the genomic DNA of the nucleated cells in the sample, reducing the background noise of the genomic DNA

Abstract

The invention relates to a spray-type free DNA sample preservation tube and its application in blood free DNA preservation. The present invention uses a cfDNA sample preservation tube made of PET material, and a specially designed preservation agent is attached to the inner wall. The cfDNA sample storage tube of the present invention solves the disadvantage of poor water retention performance of PET tubes, greatly prolongs the shelf life of the sample storage tube, and is conducive to fully mixing the collected body fluid samples with the cfDNA protective agent, effectively inhibiting the nuclease in the body fluid samples, and stabilizing The cfDNA in it can effectively prevent the release of the genomic DNA of nucleated cells in the sample.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to the field of biological material storage devices, in particular to a spray-type free DNA sample storage tube and its application in blood free DNA storage. Background technique [0002] Circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) is a kind of extracellular DNA present in human body fluids (including peripheral blood, pleural and peritoneal fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.), mainly derived from apoptotic cells. The study found that both tumor cells and fetuses in pregnant women release cell-free DNA into bodily fluids. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the requirements for precise diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, liquid biopsy technology represented by circulating free DNA (cfDNA) has become a research hotspot at home and abroad in recent years. In recent years, cfDNA in body fluids, especially peripheral blood, has been used more and more clinically, and has become an important marker for tumor screening di...
