Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of DNA purification, and in particular to a DNA purification reagent, a preparation method thereof and a DNA purification method. Background Art
[0002] Sanger sequencing is a method in which a nucleotide starts at a fixed point, terminates randomly at a specific base, and performs fluorescent labeling after each base to produce a series of nucleotides of four different lengths ending with A, T, C, and G. The sequence is then detected by electrophoresis on a urea-denatured PAGE gel to obtain a visible DNA base sequence. This method is widely used in sequencing bacterial plasmids and amplified products.
[0003] In the entire Sanger sequencing process, DNA needs to be purified and precipitated. The commonly used purification and precipitation method is the alcohol sodium acetate method. The magnetic bead method uses a solid phase carrier to adsorb DNA in a polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of several thousand and a high salt environment, and finally washes and desorbs it with ethanol for recovery. The existing magnetic bead system includes: magnetic beads, polyethylene glycol, and salt ions. The system can precipitate and adsorb DNA. The magnetic bead reagent system can adsorb DNA fragments with a narrow molecular weight range, but cannot adsorb all fragments generated by PCR amplification. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a DNA purification reagent, a preparation method thereof and a DNA purification method.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A DNA purification reagent, which is different in that its preparation raw materials include component A and component B; the component A includes carboxyl magnetic beads; the component B includes: 33% to 38% by volume of ethanol, 3% to 5% by volume of tetraethylene glycol and 2.0 mol / L to 3.0 mol / L of NaCl; the ratio of the component A to the component B is: (1.5 to 2.5) g:1L.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses ethanol and tetraethylene glycol to absorb water molecules in the system, and then cooperates with NaCl to precipitate DNA fragments, which can specifically bind to all fragments in the Sanger sequencing reaction, but not to dNTPs, ddNTPs, enzymes and other raw materials.
[0008] Furthermore, the B component also includes 6.0 mmol / L to 6.5 mmol / L EDTA.
[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that the addition of EDTA removes salt ions in the purification system through complex reaction, thereby improving its purity.
[0010] The method for preparing the above DNA purification reagent is different in that it comprises:
[0011] Step S1: taking a carboxyl magnetic bead solution, removing the supernatant, and obtaining carboxyl magnetic beads;
[0012] Step S2: mixing ethanol, tetraethylene glycol and NaCl to obtain a premixed solution;
[0013] Step S3: mixing the carboxyl magnetic beads and the premixed solution into the DNA purification reagent.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, ethanol, tetraethylene glycol, NaCl and EDTA are mixed to obtain a premixed solution.
[0015] A method for DNA purification comprising:
[0016] Step A1: adding the above DNA purification reagent and ethanol to the sample to be purified, mixing well, and obtaining a mixed solution to be processed;
[0017] Step A2: placing the mixed solution to be treated on a magnetic rack for adsorption, and discarding the supernatant;
[0018] Step A3: then adding ethanol and mixing evenly to obtain a solution to be purified, placing the solution to be purified on a magnetic rack again for adsorption, and discarding the supernatant;
[0019] Step A4: Repeat step A3 1 to 3 times to recover the magnetic beads.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: by adding the DNA purification reagent of the invention and ethanol to the DNA sample to be purified, all fragments generated by unidirectional PCR amplification can be adsorbed, and then all raw materials remaining in the reaction are removed by washing with 80% ethanol, thereby achieving the purpose of purification. The purified product can be directly subjected to electrophoresis sequencing on a genetic analyzer such as 3730xl; the signal is strong and uniform, and the background noise is extremely low.
[0021] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the sample to be purified to the DNA purification reagent is 1:(0.8-1.2).
[0022] Furthermore, the volume percentage of ethanol in the mixed liquid to be treated and the liquid to be purified is 40% to 50%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
