The invention relates to the technical field of biological sample preserving fluid, in particular to normal-temperature preserving fluid for
bacterial RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) of a
sputum sample of a
tuberculosis patient. Every 100 mL of the
RNA preserving fluid is prepared from the following raw materials: 2 to 5 g of
tris (
hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, 0.5 to 1.3 g of a
mucus digesting agent, 20 to 30 g of
guanidine isothiocyanate, 0.1 to 0.3 g of
cetylpyridinium chloride, 0.5 to 1.2 g of ethylidene dicysteine, 20 to 40 mL of a fixing agent, 1 to 5 g of a stabilizing agent, 0.1 to 0.5 g of inorganic salt, 0.3 to 0.6 g of a surfactant and 0.1 to 0.5 g of a
preservative. The preserving fluid provided by the invention can effectively liquefy a
sputum sample under a normal temperature condition, and meets the long-distance transportation requirement of the sample. The
RNA quality of a
sputum sample treated by the preserving fluid is suitable for a plurality of subsequent molecule detection methods, and the preserving fluid has important application value and popularization prospect.
