AI Technical Summary
Existing sequencing reagents require low-temperature storage during transportation, which increases transportation costs and complexity, and their poor thermal stability leads to component degradation and affects the quality of sequencing data.
By combining lyophilization protectants with components containing nucleotides, redox active substances, or proteins, sequencing reagents are converted into lyophilized form through lyophilization, thereby improving their stability.
This achieves the stability of sequencing reagents at room temperature or high temperature, reduces transportation costs, and maintains the quality of sequencing data.

Abstract
Description
Method for improving stability of sequencing reagent TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of gene sequencing, and particularly relates to a method for improving stability of sequencing reagent. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gene sequencing technology can predict the possibility of suffering from diseases and lock pathogenic genes through reading of genomes, and is an important tool for genetics and molecular biology.
[0003] In 1975, Sanger et al. initiated the first generation of sequencing technology, and with the help of the first generation of sequencing technology, the first human genome map was completed in 2001. The first generation of sequencing technology has the disadvantages of low throughput and high cost. In 2005, the first second-generation sequencer was launched, and sequencing technology entered the high-throughput era. The update and iteration of technology have continuously reduced the cost of second-generation sequencing, and made it the most mainstream sequencing technology in the field of life science.
[0004] At present, most sequencing reagents are in liquid form, and need to be kept in a low-temperature frozen state of-15 to-25 DEG C during storage and transportation. During the process of transporting the reagent box from the factory to the customer's location, it usually needs to be experienced for several days to several tens of days, and a large amount of dry ice or ice bag needs to be added. The purchase of dry ice or ice bag itself increases the transportation cost, and the volume occupied by dry ice or ice bag further increases the transportation cost.
[0005] If the sequencing reagent can be transported without temperature control, its cost can be greatly reduced. The conversion of unstable components into a freeze-dried form can improve its stability. At present, the freeze-drying technology of drugs, proteins and strains is widely and maturely studied, and the feasibility of freeze-drying liquid reagents to improve stability and reduce cost is verified. The freeze-drying formula and the key components to be protected are closely related, and the freeze-drying formulas of different substances are quite different. In addition, the components of sequencing reagents are more complex and larger in volume. Therefore, the freeze-drying technology of drugs, proteins and strains has limited guiding effect on the freeze-drying of sequencing reagents. For non-freeze-drying components with good thermal stability or components not suitable for freeze-drying, non-temperature-controlled transportation promotes the reproduction of bacteria.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for improving the stability of sequencing reagent.

[0360] Effect implementation example
[0361] 1. The lyophilized reagents obtained from "1 in (1)-(18)" in Example 1 (corresponding to Formulations 1-18 in turn) and the corresponding stock solutions without lyophilization protectants (non-lyophilization control, stock, i.e. 150x dNTPs mix) were sealed and stored at 37°C for 1 week (lyophilized + 37°C for 1 week, stock + 37°C for 1 week), 2 weeks (lyophilized + 37°C for 2 weeks, stock + 37°C for 2 weeks), and 55°C for 1 day (lyophilized + 55°C for 1 day, stock + 55°C for 1 day), 1 week (lyophilized + 55°C for 1 week, stock + 55°C for 1 week) in the dark, and then the lyophilized reagents were reconstituted: 0.6 mL of nuclease-free water was added to each tube (the lyophilized stock was not treated); at the same time, the lyophilized reagents obtained from "1 in (1)-(18)" in Example 1 were immediately reconstituted (lyophilized): 0.6 mL of nuclease-free water was added to each tube; the reconstituted solutions (lyophilized, lyophilized + 37°C for 1 week, lyophilized + 37°C for 2 weeks, lyophilized + 55°C for 1 day, lyophilized + 55°C for 1 week), the stock solutions without lyophilization protectants under different storage conditions (stock + 37°C for 1 week, stock + 37°C for 2 weeks, stock + 55°C for 1 day, stock + 55°C for 1 week), and the stock solutions without lyophilization protectants freshly prepared (non-lyophilization stock) were sequenced on the MGISEQ-2000 platform to obtain the Runon slope data (the smaller the Runon slope, the smaller the degree of damage to the reversible blocking group on each modified dNTP monomer and the better the thermal stability); the results are shown in Table 5: by comparing the data of the non-lyophilization stock and the lyophilized reagents, it can be seen that lyophilization and / or reconstitution almost do not affect the function of the 150x dNTPs mix; by comparing the data of the lyophilized and stock reagents treated at different temperatures and for different times, it can be seen that the formulations provided by the application can significantly improve the thermal stability, and in particular, the lyophilized reagent prepared using Formulation 15 has the best thermal stability. When evaluating the effect of the lyophilized reagent, the change in the appearance of the lyophilized cake after heating, such as whether it collapses or melts, and the ease of reconstitution after lyophilization and heating also need to be considered; the lyophilized cakes obtained from "1 in (1)-(18)" in Example 1 are uniform in color, have a complete structure without collapse, and can be quickly reconstituted with water without clogging the gun tip after blowing; under the test conditions, the appearance and reconstitution speed do not change significantly after heating (Figure 1).

[0364] Meanwhile, four repeated tests were performed on "1st(15)" (i.e. Formula 15) in Example 1, including four independent liquid preparation and freeze-drying operations. The freeze-dried reagents were sealed in the dark and placed at 37°C for 1 week (freeze-dried + 37°C for 1 week, sample + 37°C for 1 week), 2 weeks (freeze-dried + 37°C for 2 weeks, sample + 37°C for 2 weeks), and 55°C for 1 day (freeze-dried + 55°C for 1 day, sample + 55°C for 1 day), 1 week (freeze-dried + 55°C for 1 week, sample + 55°C for 1 week), and then the freeze-dried reagents were reconstituted: 0.6 mL of nuclease-free water was added to each tube; at the same time, the freeze-dried reagents obtained from "1st(15)" in Example 1 were immediately reconstituted (after freeze-drying): 0.6 mL of nuclease-free water was added to each tube; the reconstituted solutions (after freeze-drying, freeze-dried + 37°C for 1 week, freeze-dried + 37°C for 2 weeks, freeze-dried + 55°C for 1 day, freeze-dried + 55°C for 1 week), and the freshly prepared stock solution without freeze-drying protectants (non-freeze-dried sample) were sequenced on the MGISEQ-2000 platform to obtain the Runon slope data, and the results are shown in Table 6: freeze-drying and / or reconstitution operations have little effect on the function of 150x dNTPs mix, confirming that the thermal stability of freeze-dried reagents is much higher than that of non-freeze-dried controls (non-freeze-dried sample).
