Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of virus extraction kit technology, and in particular to a rapid viral nucleic acid extraction kit and method for large-volume samples. Background Technology

[0002] Viral nucleic acid extraction is a core step in pathogen detection (such as HIV and influenza viruses), directly affecting detection sensitivity and accuracy. Unpurified samples may contain interfering substances such as RNases, host proteins, and environmental impurities, leading to nucleic acid degradation or false negative / false positive results. Common nucleic acid extraction methods include solution extraction, centrifugation column extraction, and magnetic bead extraction. Magnetic bead extraction has been widely used in in vitro diagnostics in recent years due to its high efficiency, high throughput, and ease of commercialization. Magnetic beads are nanomagnetic materials that specifically adsorb nucleic acids in high-salt buffer solutions and release them in low-salt buffer solutions, achieving nucleic acid enrichment and separation.

[0003] Currently, commercially available magnetic bead-based viral nucleic acid extraction methods employ small-volume sample loading, such as 200μL or 300μL. While this has no impact on samples with high viral nucleic acid loads, it is less effective for environmental monitoring (e.g., virus detection in water bodies) or large volumes of clinical body fluids (e.g., saliva, blood) with low viral loads, leading to a higher risk of missed detections. Common classic lysis buffers include TRIzol, CATB-LiCl, and alkaline lysis buffers. However, these solutions are cumbersome, time-consuming, have limitations in sample processing, and are prone to leaving residues that can affect downstream experiments. Most magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction lysis buffers currently use high-salt solutions. For large-volume samples, pretreatment is often required to improve efficiency, making the process cumbersome when dealing with large sample volumes. Therefore, optimizing reagent formulations and improving kit extraction efficiency is crucial.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a rapid viral nucleic acid extraction kit and method for large-volume samples to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the current situation where the automation of large-volume sample extraction is not widespread and requires cumbersome steps such as sample pretreatment. This invention provides a high-throughput automated nucleic acid extraction kit for large-volume samples, which can obtain products directly by adding samples without sample pretreatment. This provides high-quality, high-yield nucleic acids for downstream quantitative fluorescence detection, and provides an effective and reliable guarantee for rapid and accurate diagnosis of disease types and prevention and blocking of disease transmission.
