The invention relates to the technical field of
nucleic acid detection, and discloses a method and a device for detecting and distinguishing
ginseng and
American ginseng and
terminal equipment, and the method comprises the following steps: enriching specific
DNA fragments of
ginseng and
American ginseng by using a multi-
enzyme isothermal amplification technology, and screening high-specificity crRNA by combining with a PAM sequence of Cas
protein. During detection, a two-channel detection
system is constructed by using crRNA, Cas
protein and a
test probe; after the crRNA accurately recognizes a target sequence in a to-be-tested sample according to a base
complementation principle, the trans-cleavage function of the Cas
protein is activated, and the
test probe is cleaved to form a visual
signal. Through two-channel logic, not only can
single species be identified, but also a mixed adulteration sample can be identified, the method has the advantages of high sensitivity, strong specificity, constant temperature in the whole process, no need of a precise variable temperature instrument and the like, the problem of interference of near-source species is effectively solved, and simple, convenient and
rapid detection of
ginseng and
American ginseng is realized.
