Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nucleic acid detection, and in particular to a nucleic acid detection device and a nucleic acid detection method. [Background technology]

[0002] Nucleic acid amplification and nucleic acid detection are widely used in in vitro diagnosis, life science research and other fields. With the development of science and technology, the devices used for nucleic acid amplification and nucleic acid detection have gradually begun to develop in the direction of miniaturization, low cost and convenience. However, the currently used nucleic acid amplification devices generally need to strictly control the temperature during nucleic acid amplification reaction, so they need to be equipped with a temperature control device, making it difficult to miniaturize and reduce the cost of the nucleic acid amplification device, and it is necessary to further perform nucleic acid detection after the completion of nucleic acid amplification to confirm the results of nucleic acid amplification. For the above reasons, many devices on the market are devices that only have a diffusion detection function, such as rapid virus screening, but in this type of rapid screening, the virus amount of the user is not high enough in the early stage, so it is easy to cause false negative problems. Therefore, currently, the market is lacking a nucleic acid detection device that can be used at home and has a nucleic acid amplification function and a nucleic acid detection function, which is a problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the sample addition step is completed, a first cleaning step is further included, in which the first cleaning step corresponds to the water absorption area of ​​the mobile body with the sample pad, and then a first cleaning liquid is added to the sample pad.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the nucleic acid amplification process is completed, a second washing process is further included, in which the water absorption region of the mobile body is aligned with the sample pad, and then a second washing solution is added to the sample pad.

[0038] In the following, each embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific contents of each embodiment will be described in the following paragraphs. The embodiments include embodiment 1, embodiment 2 and embodiment 3.

[0039] In the following examples, Agrobacterium (scientific name: Agrobacterium tumefacien) bacterial liquid or Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid is given as an example of a test sample, but in actual practice, the test sample is not limited to this, and the test sample may be an organism such as a microbial individual, tissue, cell, bacteria, fungus, algae, protozoa, or protozoan fungus, or a virus. The test sample may also be free nucleic acid, and the free nucleic acid may be DNA or RNA, and the present invention is not particularly limited, and the free nucleic acid may be nucleic acid formed by nucleic acid extraction from an organism such as a microbial individual, tissue, cell, bacteria, fungus, algae, protozoa, or protozoan fungus, or a virus, and examples of nucleic acid extraction include liberating nucleic acid from the organism or virus using a lysis solution, or adding the organism or virus to a membrane layer containing a dry lysis solution to liberate nucleic acid, and examples of the membrane layer include glass fiber membrane, filter paper, gel, nonwoven fabric, cellulose membrane, polyester membrane, polypropylene membrane, and the like, and the present invention is not particularly limited.

[0040] In each of the following examples, the target nucleic acid is taken as an example of the virG gene of Agrobacterium, and the nucleotide sequence of the virG gene of Agrobacterium is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. Please refer to Table 1 below, which includes the sequence name and the corresponding nucleotide sequence, but is not limited thereto in actual practice. The target nucleic acid to be detected can be selected according to practical needs. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the target nucleic acid may be either DNA or RNA.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in the following examples, the nucleic acid amplification reaction uses a recombinase polymerase amplification technique, so the nucleic acid amplification reagent is a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reagent, which contains a recombinase, a single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), and a strand-displacing polymerase (SdP). The primers include a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a forward primer, and a reverse primer, the forward primer and the reverse primer are used to bind to SEQ ID NO: 1 and serve as the starting point for nucleic acid amplification, the nucleotide sequence of the forward primer is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, see Table 1 below, which shows the sequence name and the corresponding nucleotide sequence, the 5' end of the nucleotide sequence of the forward primer is connected to a chemical marker, the chemical marker is biotin, the nucleotide sequence of the reverse primer is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, see Table 1 below, which shows the sequence name and the corresponding nucleotide sequence, and the 5' end of the reverse primer is connected to a fluorescent marker, the fluorescent marker is fluorescein isothiocyanate,FITC), after the subsequent nucleic acid amplification reaction is carried out on the target nucleic acid, the forward primer and reverse primer remain on the amplicon of the target nucleic acid, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is provided with a fluorescent marker and a chemical marker, which facilitates the subsequent detection of the amplicon of the target nucleic acid by the detector 3. Since the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is provided with a fluorescent marker, it can be judged whether the detection line 342 of the detector 3 generates a fluorescent signal in the subsequent stage. If a fluorescent signal is generated, it indicates that the amplicon of the target nucleic acid has been detected, but in actual practice, the present invention is not limited to this, the fluorescent marker can be a luminescent material for other commonly used primer marking, and the chemical marker can be a chemical base modification for other commonly used primer marking, and the forward primer and reverse primer can be designed accordingly according to the target material to be detected, and in actual practice, the forward primer or reverse primer is bound to recognize the homologous DNA sequence on the target nucleic acid in the test sample, and at the same time, the forward primer can be marked with a fluorescent marker and the reverse primer can be marked with a chemical marker, and the present invention is not particularly limited. Here, the recombinase binds to the forward primer or reverse primer, identifies the homologous DNA sequence on the target nucleic acid in the test sample, and simultaneously induces the forward primer or reverse primer to form a D-loop and a single-stranded DNA section. The single-stranded DNA binding protein binds to the single-stranded DNA section to stabilize the structure. Then, the strand displacement polymerase uses the position where the forward primer or reverse primer is bound as a starting point to perform a nucleic acid amplification reaction. By repeating the above-mentioned nucleic acid amplification reaction, the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is continuously generated, but in actual implementation, it is not limited thereto. The nucleic acid amplification reaction may be performed by a technique such as Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA), Helicase-Dependent Amplification (HDA), etc.The nucleic acid amplification reagent may be an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique such as HDA (hardware assay), strand displacement amplification (Strand Displacement Amplification) (SDA), Nicking Enzyme Amplification Reaction (NEAR), Nucleic acid sequence-Based amplification (NASBA) technology, exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) technology, or loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology. According to the isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique used, a corresponding isothermal nucleic acid amplification reagent is used, that is, a strand displacement amplification reagent, a nicking enzyme amplification reaction reagent, a nucleic acid sequence-dependent amplification reagent, an exponential amplification reaction reagent, or a loop mediated isothermal amplification reagent, and at the same time, if the test sample is RNA, or if the test sample is cleaved by the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 to generate RNA, a nucleic acid reverse transcription reaction reagent can be further added to the nucleic acid amplification reaction.

When performing each process, after the absorbent or non-absorbent area B of the movable body 4 corresponds to the sample pad 220, the user can further press the connection surface 22b with a finger or a clamping tool to sufficiently bring the sample pad 220 on the connection surface 22b into contact with the absorbent area, so as to ensure that the absorbent area can completely absorb the remaining liquid. The above is merely an example, and actual implementation is not limited thereto. In another embodiment of the present invention, the sample pad 220 includes only the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, and the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 is provided in at least one opening corresponding to the water absorption area of ​​the mobile body 4 of the multiple openings. For example, the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 is provided in the above-mentioned first opening O1, and the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 can be fixed in the first opening O1 by adhesion, and the upper and lower surfaces of the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 are exposed. Therefore, when the first opening O1 corresponds to the sample pad 220, the lower surface of the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200 in the first opening O1 contacts the upper surface of the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202.The above examples are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention in practice. Any equivalent modifications and variations made to the above content of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1: The operating temperature, operating time and nucleic acid detection range of the nucleic acid detection method provided by the present invention are evaluated using Agrobacterium tumefaciens genomic nucleic acid.

[0057] In Example 1, the genomic nucleic acid of Agrobacterium is used as an example of a test sample, and the virG gene of Agrobacterium is used as an example of a nucleic acid to be detected. In Example 1, a nucleic acid amplification test is performed using the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 as an independent component, and a nucleic acid detection test is performed by combining it with the detector 3.

[0058] In the nucleic acid amplification reaction in Example 1, a nucleic acid amplification reagent is added to the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 to form an amplicon of the target nucleic acid, and a multi-temperature heating and cooling oscillator is used as a temperature control device during the nucleic acid amplification reaction to control the temperature of the nucleic acid amplification reaction, and a handheld temperature data recorder is used to measure and record the reaction temperature.

[0059] The experimental process of Example 1 is as follows: first, nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is placed on a culture dish, and the culture dish is placed on a multi-temperature heating and cooling oscillator; then, a test sample is added to nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, the nucleic acid in the test sample is adsorbed to nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, and nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is left to stand until it is naturally dried; next, a nucleic acid amplification reagent is added to nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, and a nucleic acid amplification reaction is performed on the target nucleic acid in nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 by controlling the temperature of the nucleic acid amplification reaction using a multi-temperature heating and cooling oscillator to form an amplicon of the target nucleic acid; at the same time, during the nucleic acid amplification reaction, the nucleic acid amplification reaction temperature is measured and recorded using a handheld temperature data recorder; and then the nucleic acid amplification reaction temperature is measured and recorded using a handheld temperature data recorder. After the acid amplification reaction is completed, the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is placed in the water absorption area of ​​the mobile body 4 using tweezers, a second washing solution is added to the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, the nucleic acid amplification reagent remaining on the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is washed off, and the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is left to stand until it is naturally dried. Next, the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 is placed on the initiation pad 30 of the detector 3 using tweezers, and an eluent is added to the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202. The amplicons of the target nucleic acid in the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202 are caused to flow together with the eluent to the initiation pad 30, and then from the initiation pad 30 to the binding pad 32, after which they react with the reaction membrane 34, and the amplicons of the target nucleic acid are captured by the detection line 342 of the reaction membrane 34. Hereinafter, the temperature of the nucleic acid amplification reaction is referred to as the "operation temperature", and the time of the nucleic acid amplification reaction is referred to as the "operation time". The test samples each have a copy number of 10 6 , 10 copies 4 , 10 copies 2The Agrobacterium genome nucleic acid with copy number 10, copy number 0, and copy number 0 was tested at operating temperatures of 20°C, 23°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C, and the operating times were 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 25 minutes, 35 minutes, 45 minutes, and 55 minutes, respectively. Three repeated experiments were performed for each experimental condition. The detection result was determined to be positive only when both the detection line 342 and the control line 340 on each detection body 3 showed a positive reaction in the three repeated experiments. The positive reaction is, i.e., If colored, it is determined that the detection of the target nucleic acid was successful; if the control line 340 is colored in the detected material in any one of the three repeated experiments and the detection line is not colored, the detection result is determined to be negative; if the result is determined to be positive under the same test conditions, it means that all three repeated experiments are positive reactions, which is represented by "P" and separated by a comma, followed by the numerical value of the minimum copy number of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid required for the detection result to be positive; if each group showed a negative result, it is represented by "N", and the experimental results of Example 1 are shown in Table 2 below.

[0060] In the following Table 2, the column represents different working temperatures, and the row represents different working times. For example, the intersection of the column of Table 2 where the column is 5 minutes and the row is 35°C is "P,10 6 The test was repeated three times under the conditions of a working time of 5 minutes and a working temperature of 35°C. In all three tests, the test specimen 3 showed a positive reaction. Therefore, the result was determined to be positive. The minimum number of copies of the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid required was 10 6 The test sample is 10 copies. 6 A positive result was obtained only when the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid was 10 copies, but 4 Copy, 10 2In addition, for example, the intersection in Table 2 where the column is 15 minutes and the row is 30°C is indicated as "P, 10", and the experiment was repeated three times under the conditions of a working time of 15 minutes and a working temperature of 30°C, and all of the detector 3 showed a positive reaction, so it was determined to be a positive result. The minimum copy number of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid required is 10 copies, and a positive result can be obtained when the test sample has 10 copies of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, and a positive result can be obtained when the test sample has 10 copies of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid. Therefore, even if the test sample has a higher copy number of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, the result is positive, i.e., 10 6 Copy, 10 4 Copy, 10 2 The test sample was negative only when it had 1 or 0 copies of the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid. The above is taken as an example, and the rest should be interpreted similarly.

[0061] The experimental results in Table 2 below show that when the working temperature is 23°C and the working time is 45 minutes, the test sample has a 10% or higher oxidative stress response. 4 A positive result can be obtained only when 10 copies of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid are required, that is, all three repeated experiments showed positive reactions. When the working temperature was 23°C and the working time was 55 minutes, the test sample was 10 2 Only a few copies of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid are required to detect the target nucleic acid. At the same working temperature, extending the working time helps to detect a smaller number of copies of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, that is, improves the sensitivity of detecting the target nucleic acid. In addition, when the working time is fixed at 55 minutes, Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid can be detected at working temperatures of 23 to 50°C. When the working temperature is 23°C, the test sample has a copy number of 10 and the target nucleic acid can be detected at a working temperature of 23 to 50°C. 2 The target nucleic acid in the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid can be detected, and when the temperature is 25 to 50°C, the test sample only needs to be one copy of the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, and the target nucleic acid can be detected, and the same working time can be achieved. In the above, the sensitivity of detecting the target nucleic acid can be improved with an increase in the working temperature. In addition, the nucleic acid amplification reaction can be accelerated with an increase in the working temperature. For example, when the test sample is one copy of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, a positive result can be observed at a working temperature of 25°C in 45 minutes, but when the working temperature is 30°C, a positive result can be observed in only 25 minutes, when the working temperature is 35°C or 40°C, a positive result can be observed in only 15 minutes, and when the working temperature is 45°C, a positive result can be observed in 5 minutes. The experimental results of Example 1 show that the working temperature at which the amplicon of the target nucleic acid can be obtained is 23 to 50°C, the working time is 5 to 55 minutes, and the target nucleic acid in one copy of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid can be detected, so further verification is performed below based on these experimental results. In addition, it should be particularly explained that the above-mentioned working temperature range and working time range do not limit the present invention, and the working temperature range and working time range in the actual implementation are adjusted according to the nucleic acid amplification reagent.

[0062] Table 2: Experimental results of Example 1 [Table 2]

[0063] Example 2: It has been verified that the method of the present invention can be carried out at room temperature using Agrobacterium tumefaciens genome nucleic acid.

[0064] The experimental process of Example 2 is basically the same as that of Example 1, with the only difference being that the nucleic acid amplification reaction is carried out under room temperature environment, so the working temperature is the room temperature when the nucleic acid amplification reaction is carried out, and the working time is fixed at 45 minutes. Three repeated experiments are carried out, and the working temperature is similarly measured and recorded by a handheld temperature data recorder, and the measured maximum and minimum temperatures are taken as the working temperature range. The experimental results are shown in Table 3, which shows the working temperatures measured in each of the three repeated experimental results. The copy number of 10 6 , 10 copies 4 , 10 copies 2 When Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid with copy number 10, copy number 1, and copy number 0 were used as test samples, the detector 3 was detected to see whether it showed a positive reaction, a positive reaction was indicated by "○" and a negative reaction was indicated by "X", and the group of Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid with copy number 0 was used as the negative control group. The experimental results showed that when the test sample was Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid with copy number 10, no positive reaction was obtained in the second test, but positive reactions were obtained in the first and third tests, and the test sample with copy number 10 2In the case of the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid, the results of three repeated experiments all showed a positive reaction, i.e., the result was determined to be positive. This result is consistent with the result in Example 1 where the target nucleic acid of the Agrobacterium genomic nucleic acid with a copy number of 1 can be detected when the working temperature is 25°C and the working time is 45 minutes. Therefore, the experimental result in Example 2 shows that the nucleic acid amplification reaction can be completed similarly even in a room temperature environment where the temperature changes, regardless of the control of the working temperature by a temperature control device, and the sensitivity of detecting the target nucleic acid is equivalent to the effect of using a temperature control device. In addition, it is particularly noted that the above-mentioned range of working temperature and range of working time do not limit the present invention, and Example 2 demonstrates that the nucleic acid amplification reaction can be completed without temperature control, and at the same time, Example 1 demonstrates that the nucleic acid amplification reaction time can be shortened with an increase in the working temperature, so in actual implementation, the user may use a household heating device to assist heating, and household heating devices include, for example, a hand warmer or a steam-type eye mask, etc., and for example, during the execution of the nucleic acid amplification step S30, the substrate part 20 is stacked on the hand warmer, and the heat emitted by the hand warmer is transferred to the sample pad 220, thereby improving the speed of the nucleic acid amplification reaction and shortening the required working time. In addition, it is particularly noted that the above-mentioned range of working time and range of working time do not limit the present invention.

The Agrobacterium concentration in the Agrobacterium solution in Example 3 is 1.5 x 10 6 CFU / 100μL, 1.5×10 4 CFU / 100μL, 150CFU / 100μL, 15CFU / 100μL, 1.5CFU / 100μL and 0CFU / 100μL. Below, each step of the nucleic acid detection method will be described separately to provide a more specific explanation, and reference will be made to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11.

[0068] In the step S10 of providing a nucleic acid detection device, the nucleic acid detection device 1 of the present invention is provided, and a specific embodiment of the nucleic acid detection device 1 is as described above.

[0069] In the sample addition step S20, the water absorption area of ​​the moving body 4 is made to correspond to the sample pad 220, and then the test sample is added to the sample pad 220, and the test sample contains the target nucleic acid. In the third embodiment, specifically, the user synchronously moves the moving body 4 and the guide body 5 according to the instruction of the first character mark 54, and the first pattern mark 50 overlaps with the guide mark 6, at this time, the sample pad 220 corresponds to the first opening O1, and at the same time, the sample pad 220 also corresponds to the first water absorption area A1, and since the test sample is an Agrobacterium liquid, after the Agrobacterium liquid is added to the sample pad 220, the Agrobacterium in the Agrobacterium liquid is dissolved by the dissolving liquid in the nucleic acid extraction layer 2200, exposing the nucleic acid of the Agrobacterium, and then the nucleic acid of the Agrobacterium is adsorbed to the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202, and the remaining liquid is absorbed into the first water absorption area A1.

[0070] In the first cleaning step S25, after the water absorption region of the movable body 4 corresponds to the sample pad 220, a first cleaning liquid is added to the sample pad 220. In the third embodiment, specifically, the user follows the instruction of the second character mark 55 to keep the sample pad 220 in correspondence with the first opening O1 and at the same time corresponds the sample pad 220 to the first water absorption region A1, and then adds the first cleaning liquid to the sample pad 220, causing impurities remaining in the sample pad 220 to flow out together with the first cleaning liquid and be absorbed by the first water absorption region A1.

[0071] In the nucleic acid amplification step S30, the non-water absorbing region B of the mobile body 4 is made to correspond to the sample pad 220, and then the target nucleic acid in the sample pad 220 is reacted with a nucleic acid amplification reagent to form an amplicon of the target nucleic acid. In Example 3, specifically, the user moves the movable body 4 and the guide body 5 synchronously according to the instruction of the third character mark 56, and overlaps the second pattern mark 51 with the guide mark 6. At this time, the sample pad 220 corresponds to the second opening O2. At the same time, the sample pad 220 also corresponds to the non-absorption area B of the movable body 4. Then, add nucleic acid amplification reagent to the sample pad 220. According to the instruction of the fourth character mark 57, the user moves the movable body 4 and the guide body 5 synchronously, and overlaps the third pattern mark 52 with the guide mark 6. At this time, the sample pad 220 is covered by the guide body 5. At the same time, the sample pad 220 also corresponds to the non-absorption area B. Then, according to the instruction of the fourth character mark 57, wait for the progress of the nucleic acid amplification reaction. The working time of the nucleic acid amplification reaction in this embodiment is 45 minutes. The target nucleic acid and the nucleic acid amplification reagent in the sample pad 220 are fully acted on to form an amplicon of the target nucleic acid, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is adsorbed by the nucleic acid adsorption layer 2202.

[0072] In the second washing step S35, the absorbent region of the movable body 4 is made to correspond to the sample pad 220, and then the second washing liquid is added to the sample pad 220. In the third embodiment, specifically, the user synchronously moves the movable body 4 and the guide body 5 according to the instruction of the fifth character mark 58, and the fourth pattern mark 53 is overlapped with the guide mark 6, at this time, the sample pad 220 corresponds to the third opening O3, and at the same time, the sample pad 220 also corresponds to the absorbent pad of the second absorption region A2, and then the second washing liquid is added to the sample pad 220, and the nucleic acid amplification reagent remaining in the sample pad 220 is caused to flow out together with the second washing liquid and absorbed in the second region A2.

[0073] In the nucleic acid detection process S40, after the mobile body 4 is removed from the channel 222, the bridge portion 22 is pressed to bend the bridge portion 22, and the sample pad 220 is brought into contact with the initiation pad 30 of the detector 3. Next, an eluent is added to the sample pad 220, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid in the sample pad 220 is caused to flow to the initiation pad 30 of the detector 3 together with the eluent, and then the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is caused to flow from the initiation pad 30 to at least one control line 340 and at least one detection line 342 of the detector 3, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid is captured by the at least one detection line 342 mentioned above. In the third embodiment, specifically, after the user pulls out the moving body 4 and the guide body 5, removes the moving body 4 from the channel 222, and separates the guide body 5 from the upper surface of the connection surface 22b of the support 2, the bridge portion 22 can be bent, so that the connection surface 22b of the bridge portion 22 can be pressed with a finger to make the sample pad 220 contact the initiation pad 30, and then the eluent is added to the sample pad 220, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid in the sample pad 220 flows together with the eluent to the initiation pad 30 of the detection body 3, and then flows from the initiation pad 30 to the binding pad 32, so that the chromogenic substance in the binding pad 32 binds to the amplicon of the target nucleic acid, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid bound to the chromogenic substance is captured by the detection line 342, forming a visually observable color band, thereby achieving the effect of detecting the target nucleic acid in the test sample, and the unreacted chromogenic substance is captured by the control line 340, and finally the remaining liquid is absorbed by the absorption pad 36.

[0074] The experimental results of Example 3 are shown in Table 4. Table 4 shows the working temperature for each measurement in the experimental results repeated three times, and whether or not the detector 3 showed a positive reaction when the Agrobacterium solution was used as the test sample. A positive reaction is represented by "O", a negative reaction is represented by "X", and the Agrobacterium concentration in the Agrobacterium solution was 1.5 x 10 6 CFU / 100μL, 1.5×10 4CFU / 100μL, 150CFU / 100μL, 15CFU / 100μL, 1.5CFU / 100μL, 0CFU / 100μL, and the group with 0CFU / 100μL of Agrobacterium concentration in the Agrobacterium solution was the negative control group. The experimental results showed that when the Agrobacterium concentration in the Agrobacterium solution of the test sample was 1.5CFU / 100μL, all three repeated experiments showed positive reactions, i.e., positive results were obtained, and in the group with 0CFU / 100μL of Agrobacterium concentration in the Agrobacterium solution, all three repeated experiments showed negative reactions. This means that there were no false positive reactions based on the nucleic acid detection method of the present invention, and using the nucleic acid detection device 1 and nucleic acid detection method of the present invention, the nucleic acid amplification reaction of the target nucleic acid was indeed completed in a room temperature environment without temperature control, an amplicon of the target nucleic acid was obtained, and the amplicon of the target nucleic acid was successfully detected.
