Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in conventional genetic testing, the copy number of target nucleic acid is quantified by real-time PCR in a state where the extraction efficiency of nucleic acid is unknown, and thus there are problems in that actual samples (food, environmental water, blood, urine, tissue, etc. The exact copy number of the target nucleic acid contained in ) is unknown
[0010] However, since there is no internal standard in the method disclosed in Patent Document 1, the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction from the target test sample remains unknown, and it is impossible to know the exact copy number of the detected gene

preparation example Construction

[0156] The preparation and filling of the droplets is achieved, for example, by spraying a cell suspension containing a cell A in which the nucleic acid is incorporated into the nucleic acid a in the nucleus of the cell in the form of droplets, and making the droplets Landing on the base material in turn. "Spraying" means flying a cell suspension in the form of droplets. "Sequentially" means in sequence one after the other. "Falling" means causing a droplet to reach a base material.

[0157] The base material may be any one as long as it has a load portion made of a water-decomposable material; and specific examples thereof include the same base materials as those described in the above-mentioned "base material".

[0158] As the ejection device, a device for ejecting a cell suspension in the form of droplets (hereinafter, may also be referred to as a "spray head") can be suitably used.

[0159] Examples of methods for ejecting a cell suspension in the form of droplets inclu...

no. 1 approach 》

[0308] The test method of the present embodiment includes a process of calculating the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction from the cell A using the carrier (extraction efficiency calculation process).

[0309] In addition to the above-mentioned process, the test method of the present embodiment preferably further includes a process of determining the accuracy of the measured value of the gene by the genetic testing device according to the extraction efficiency (determination process A).

[0310] [Extraction efficiency calculation process]

[0311] In the extraction efficiency calculation process, first, nucleic acid is extracted from cell A using the carrier. Then, quantitative PCR was performed using the obtained nucleic acid to quantify the copy number of the nucleic acid. Next, the value obtained by dividing the quantitative value by the known copy number of nucleic acid present on the base material was calculated as the extraction efficiency of nucleic acid in percent....

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a carrier and a testing method. Specifically, the present invention provides a carrier and a method for testing the accuracy of a measurement value for detecting a target gene in a cell sample, wherein the measurement value is obtained from a genetic testing device. [0002] Priority is claimed from Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-051158 filed March 23, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] In the fields of food, environmental testing, and medical care, genetic tests that detect and measure nucleic acids have been performed. In recent years, the sensitivity of analytical techniques has increased, and it has become possible to measure target nucleic acids in units of copy numbers. As the measurement target nucleic acid, nucleic acid extracted from food, environmental water, blood, urine, tissue, etc. is used as the measurement target. [0004] To extract nucleic a...
