[0068] It should be understood that the order of the steps or the order in which certain actions are performed is not important as long as the invention remains operational. Furthermore, two or more steps or actions can be performed simultaneously.
[0069] The use of any and all instances or exemplary language such as “e.g.” or “including” in this document is merely intended to better illustrate the invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention unless the claims are made. No language in this specification should be construed as indicating that any unclaimed element is essential to the practice of the invention.
[0070] Furthermore, the numerical ranges and parameters used to define the present invention are approximate values, and the relevant values in the specific embodiments have been presented as precisely as possible. However, any value inevitably contains standard deviations due to individual test methods. Therefore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that all ranges, quantities, values, and percentages used in this disclosure are modified with the word "approximately". Here, "approximately" generally means that the actual value is within plus or minus 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5% of a specific value or range.
[0071] The technical solution provided by this invention includes:
[0072] The combined effect of physical lysis and chemical release: This invention primarily provides an extraction-free rapid nucleic acid release agent, its preparation method, and its application method, aiming to revolutionize the traditional nucleic acid extraction process and solve the core pain points commonly found in existing technologies, such as cumbersome operation steps, lengthy processing cycles, and low extraction efficiency. Traditional nucleic acid extraction methods typically require multiple complex steps, including cell lysis, protein removal, and nucleic acid purification. These methods not only rely on experimental equipment but also place stringent demands on the professional skills of operators, resulting in a generally time-consuming process. This invention innovatively constructs a rapid nucleic acid release system based on the combined effect of physical lysis and chemical release.
[0073] High-frequency ultrasonic treatment: Addressing the limitations of existing nucleic acid release agent methods in fully releasing sufficient nucleic acids from complex samples, this invention innovatively introduces a high-frequency ultrasonic treatment scheme as a key technology for sample pretreatment. Through the instantaneous high-temperature and high-pressure environment generated by cavitation, micron-sized bubbles are induced to periodically form and oscillate in the negative pressure phase of the acoustic waves, achieving nanoscale cell membrane disruption and homogenization of the sample. This non-contact physical lysis method offers significant advantages over traditional mechanical grinding or enzymatic digestion, including high lysis efficiency, short processing time, and superior protection of nucleic acid integrity. The specially designed combination of ultrasonic treatment parameters ensures effective lysis of various microorganisms and animal cells while avoiding nucleic acid chain breakage caused by excessive ultrasonication.
[0074] Extraction-Free Rapid Nucleic Acid Release Agent: This invention successfully developed a rapid nucleic acid release agent containing components such as dissociative salts, buffer solution, polyethylene glycol, surfactant, antifreeze, and metal chelating agent, through optimized synergistic ratios of each reagent component. The application of a novel nonionic surfactant significantly reduces the inhibitory effect on subsequent PCR detection while maintaining cell lysis efficiency; the added metal chelating agent effectively removes nuclease activity from the sample. Experimental verification shows that this release agent exhibits excellent applicability and efficiency for various complex sample types, including swabs, sputum, and blood.
[0075] A "One-Step" Operation Process: This invention combines an extraction-free rapid nucleic acid release agent with an ultrasonic treatment scheme, forming a highly efficient and convenient nucleic acid release process. Operators only need to mix the sample with the release agent and perform a short ultrasonic treatment before directly adding the lysate to the downstream detection system. The entire process eliminates the need for organic solvent extraction, magnetic bead purification, or centrifugation, reducing the time from sample processing to nucleic acid readiness to less than one minute. This provides a more efficient, convenient, and universal solution for multiple fields such as biomedical research, disease diagnosis, and epidemic prevention and control.
[0076] This invention provides an extraction-free rapid nucleic acid release agent, which can rapidly and efficiently release nucleic acids from samples, simplifying the nucleic acid detection process and improving detection efficiency. Based on this, this invention innovatively introduces an ultrasonic treatment scheme for rapid sample pretreatment, thereby improving the efficiency of nucleic acid release and enabling pretreatment for different sample types, further enhancing the practicality and application scope of this technology. Simultaneously, this invention also provides a method for preparing and using this nucleic acid release agent.
[0077] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0078] Components of the nucleic acid release agent:
[0079] Nucleic acid release agents are mainly composed of 1 mol / L to 50 mol / L dissociation salt, 5 mmol / L to 100 mmol / L buffer, 1% to 15% (w / v) polyethylene glycol, 0.01% to 1% (v / v) surfactant, and 1% to 15% (v / v) antifreeze.
[0080] Release salts include guanidine thiocyanate, guanidine hydrochloride, potassium thiocyanate, etc., with guanidine thiocyanate being preferred. The concentration is 1 mol / L to 50 mol / L. These salts have the ability to disrupt protein structure and the interaction between nucleic acids and proteins, thus facilitating the release of nucleic acids.
[0081] Buffer solutions include Tris-HCl buffer, sodium citrate buffer, etc., with Tris-HCl buffer being preferred. The concentration is 5 mmol / L to 100 mmol / L to maintain the pH stability of the system and provide a suitable environment for nucleic acid release.
[0082] Permeabilizers include methyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfoxide, decyl methyl sulfoxide, etc., with dimethyl sulfoxide being preferred. The concentration is 1% to 10% (v / v). They can penetrate the cell membrane, disrupt the membrane structure by changing the fluidity of membrane lipids, and promote the release of nucleic acids.
[0083] Polyethylene glycol: Polyethylene glycol-n, n=200~20000, preferably n=2000, concentration 1%-15% (w / v).
[0084] Surfactants include Triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulfonate, CHAPS, etc., with Triton X-100 being preferred at a concentration of 0.01% to 1% (v / v). As a nonionic surfactant, it can disrupt cell membranes and viral envelopes, allowing nucleic acids to be released.
[0085] Antifreeze agents include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, etc., with glycerol being preferred. At a concentration of 1%–15%, these agents lower the freezing point of water, reducing ice crystal formation and thus protecting nucleic acids from ice crystal damage at low temperatures. They can also form a protective film around nucleic acid molecules, preventing them from contacting harmful substances and stabilizing the nucleic acid structure.
[0086] Metal chelating agents: including one or more of EGTA, EDTA, and DTPA, with EGTA being preferred, at a concentration of 1-10 mM. Metal chelating agents can chelate metal ions in the sample, preventing metal ions from interfering with the nucleic acid release process and subsequent PCR reactions, while also helping to maintain the stability of nucleic acids.
[0087] Antioxidants include one or more of vitamin C, glutathione, and tea polyphenols, with glutathione being preferred; the concentration of the antioxidant is 1 mmol / L to 5 mmol / L. The antioxidants scavenge free radicals, block oxidation reactions, and maintain the stability of nucleic acid structure and function.
[0088] pH value: Adjust the pH to 6-9, which is conducive to the release and stability of nucleic acids.
[0089] Preparation method:
[0090] 1. Weigh out guanidine thiocyanate and dissolve it in an appropriate amount of deionized water.
[0091] 2. Measure out the Tris-HCl buffer solution and add it to the above solution.
[0092] 3. Weigh out PEG2000 and add it to the above solution, then stir to dissolve it.
[0093] 4. Weigh out EGTA and glutathione and add them to the above solution, then stir to dissolve them.
[0094] 5. Measure out Triton-100, DMSO and glycerol and add them to the above solution, then stir thoroughly until homogeneous.
[0095] 6. Slowly adjust the pH of the mixed solution to 6-9 while stirring.
[0096] 7. Finally, dilute to 1000 mL with deionized water to obtain the extraction-free rapid nucleic acid release agent.
[0097] Ultrasonic treatment conditions: The present invention describes a sample lysis treatment combining ultrasound and chemical methods. The frequency of the ultrasound treatment is 10kHz to 100kHz, preferably 40 to 50kHz; the time is 1s to 60s, preferably 10s to 30s.
[0098] The unit of polyethylene glycol in this invention is g / mL.
[0099] In Examples 1 to 9 of this invention, all raw materials and reagents used can be purchased from the market.
[0100] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the embodiments:
[0101] Example 1
[0102] Different component reagents were added to the formula of the nucleic acid release agent to prepare different formulas of nucleic acid release agent. The nucleic acid release agents of formula 1 to formula 4 were prepared according to Table 1 to Table 4 respectively. The positive sample of influenza A virus was diluted to 100 copies / mL as a positive sample. The nucleic acid was amplified and detected by repeatedly spotting 10 reactions using the respiratory tract 12 pathogen nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescent PCR melting curve method) of Guangzhou Baochuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. For specific operation steps, please refer to the kit instructions.
[0103] The formulation of the nucleic acid release agent is shown in Table 1.

[0106] The nucleic acid release agent formulation 2 is shown in Table 2.

[0114]
[0115] Table 5. Test results of nucleic acid release agent formulations 1-4
[0116]
[0117] As shown in Table 5, the detection rate of formulation 1 is 0%, that of formulation 2 is 20%, that of formulation 3 is 30%, and that of formulation 4 is 100%. If the effects of DMSO and EGTA are independent (i.e., without synergistic effects), then the detection rate when used simultaneously can be calculated using a probabilistic independent action model. Specifically, the probability of successful detection should be equal to 1 minus the probability of both failing.
[0118] The data shows that without DMSO and EGTA, the detection failure probability is 100% (i.e., 1 - 0% = 1). With only DMSO, the detection failure probability is 80% (i.e., 1 - 20% = 0.8). With only EGTA, the detection failure probability is 70% (i.e., 1 - 30% = 0.7). Under the assumption of independent action, when using DMSO and EGTA simultaneously, the probability of detection failure is the product of the individual failure probabilities of each (because they are independent), that is: P(failure | DMSO and EGTA) = P(failure | DMSO) × P(failure | EGTA) = 0.8 × 0.7 = 0.56.
[0119] Therefore, the probability of successful detection (detection rate) is: P(success | DMSO and EGTA) = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44, which is 44%. Experimental results show that the detection rate of formulation 4 is 100%, far exceeding 44%, indicating a significant synergistic effect between the penetrant (DMSO) and the metal chelating agent (EGTA), which greatly improves the detection rate when used together. The detection results for formulation 4 are attached. Figure 1 As shown.
[0120] Example 2
[0121] Different component reagents were added to the nucleic acid release agent formulation to prepare different formulations of nucleic acid release agents. The formulations were prepared according to Tables 6 to 9 to obtain formulations 5 to 8. The positive samples of influenza A virus were diluted to 100 copies / mL as positive samples and placed at room temperature for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days. The nucleic acid was amplified and detected by repeatedly spotting 10 reactions using the respiratory tract 12 pathogen nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescent PCR melting curve method) from Guangzhou Baochuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. For specific operation steps, please refer to the kit instructions.
[0122] The formulation of the nucleic acid release agent is shown in Table 6.

[0135]
[0136] Based on the data in Table 10, we can calculate the upper limit of the detection rate theoretically when glycerol and glutathione are added simultaneously without synergistic effect (i.e., their effects are independent). If the effects of glycerol and glutathione are independent, then the expected detection rate of Formula 8 can be calculated using a probability model: Expected detection rate = 1 - (1 - Detection rate of Formula 6) × (1 - Detection rate of Formula 7). This value represents the upper limit of the detection rate without synergistic effect.
[0137] Day 0 to Day 2: Detection rate of Formula 6 is 100%, and the detection rate of Formula 7 is 100%. Expected detection rate = 1 - (1-1) × (1-1) = 1 - 0 = 100%, with an upper limit of 100%.
[0138] Day 3: Detection rate of formula 6 is 80%, and detection rate of formula 7 is 70%. Expected detection rate = 1 - (1 - 0.8) × (1 - 0.7) = 1 - (0.2 × 0.3) = 1 - 0.06 = 94%, with an upper limit of 94%.
[0139] Day 4: Detection rate of formula 6 is 40%, and detection rate of formula 7 is 50%. Expected detection rate = 1 - (1 - 0.4) × (1 - 0.5) = 1 - (0.6 × 0.5) = 1 - 0.3 = 70%, with an upper limit of 70%.
[0140] Day 5: Formula 6 detection rate 10%, Formula 7 detection rate 20%. Expected detection rate = 1 - (1 - 0.1) × (1 - 0.2) = 1 - (0.9 × 0.8) = 1 - 0.72 = 28%, with an upper limit of 28%.
[0141] Day 6-7: Detection rate of formula 6 is 0%, and the detection rate of formula 7 is 0%. Expected detection rate = 1 - (1-0) × (1-0) = 1 - (1 × 1) = 0%, with an upper limit of 0%.
[0142] If glycerol and glutathione do not have a synergistic effect (the effects are independent), the upper limit of the detection rate of Formula 8 should be the calculated value above. The actual detection rate of Formula 8 was 100% from day 0 to day 7. Starting from day 3, the actual value (100%) was significantly higher than the upper limit under independent effects (94% on day 3, 70% on day 4, 28% on day 5, and 0% on days 6-7).
[0143] This indicates that the simultaneous addition of the nucleic acid stabilizer (glycerol) and the antioxidant (glutathione) produced a strong synergistic effect, significantly improving the stability of the nucleic acid releaser.
[0144] Example 3
[0145] In this embodiment, nucleic acid release agents were prepared according to different concentrations and proportions of the formulation components. The nucleic acid release agents of formulations 9 to 13 were prepared according to Tables 11 to 15. The positive samples of influenza A virus were diluted to 100 copies / mL as positive samples. The nucleic acid was amplified and detected by repeatedly spotting 10 reactions using the respiratory 12 pathogen nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescent PCR melting curve method) from Guangzhou Baochuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
