Reagent combination, kit, method and application for freeze-drying preservation of biological reagent
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a reagent combination, a reagent kit, a method and application of freeze-drying preservation of biological reagents.
Background
The nucleic acid detection technology is a simple, rapid, high-sensitivity and specific gene detection method, wherein the activities of primers, dNTPs and enzymes used in the PCR technology are key factors for detecting success or failure. However, the above components have a short shelf life in aqueous solutions and need to be stored in a low temperature environment below-20 ℃, and repeated freeze thawing in practical operation can greatly reduce their activity and even inactivate, which can directly affect the detection result. On the other hand, in order to ensure reliability, accuracy, consistency and simplicity, large-scale commercial detection kits are also required to add and split each reactant at a time as much as possible, and to ensure that the biological activity thereof is not affected during normal storage and transportation.
The products currently used for nucleic acid detection are increasingly being presented in solid form, so that the storage and transport of reagents is no longer limited by low temperatures, with the most widely used dehydrated form being a freeze-drying process. Freeze-drying is an efficient drying technique that causes frozen solid ice in a mixture to sublimate directly into a gaseous state without melting into liquid water, eventually removing water and retaining other effective components. The stability of the bioactive raw materials in the solid dry powder state is far higher than that of the bioactive raw materials in the liquid state, so that the long-term storage and stable transportation of each component in the nucleic acid detection reagent at room temperature can be realized through freeze-drying and dehydration treatment.
Lyophilization technology has been rapidly developed in the eighth nineties of the last century, and is thereafter widely used in the preservation of biological tissues, pharmaceuticals and foods. The freeze-dried nucleic acid detection reagent is also gradually appeared on the market, and can be stably stored for 12-24 months under the room temperature condition without cold chain transportation. At present, physical parameters of vacuum freeze drying, influence factors, process parameters, process mechanism, process optimization control and the like are well known in the art, so that the freeze-drying technology is programmed gradually, and a certain reference basis is provided for key control factors in the freeze-drying process of the nucleic acid detection reagent and stability analysis of the freeze-dried product.
The conventional freeze-drying process mainly comprises 3 stages of pre-freezing, sublimation and analysis, and the total time for producing a batch of freeze-dried reagent is at least 15 hours and is difficult to finish in one working day, wherein the packaging time is longer than the liquid preparation split charging before freeze-drying and after freeze-drying. In addition, the existing single-person single-part freeze-dried reagent container is usually an 8-joint tube, a 96-hole plate and the like, the container occupies most of the freeze-dried plate layers, the contact area between the reagent and the plate layers is small, the production efficiency is low, and the increasing yield requirement is difficult to meet.

2.2 preparation of PCR mixture
Groups 1 to 18 were added as antifreeze to the new crown gall liquid reagent in the amounts shown in the following table, and each system was made up to 15. Mu.L or 150. Mu.L with DEPC water.
2.3 liquid nitrogen treatment: and respectively dripping the 18 groups of PCR mixed solutions into liquid nitrogen by using a liquid transfer gun, maintaining for 2min after molding, and respectively split charging into eight-joint tubes.
2.4PCR test
After the 18 groups of PCR mixed liquids treated by liquid nitrogen in 2.3 are frozen at normal temperature, the performance of the antifreeze agent is tested by taking the 18 groups of PCR mixed liquids which are not treated by liquid nitrogen as a control and 2019-nCoV pseudovirus particles as templates, and an amplification curve is shown in figure 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, A, B, C, 3 saccharides at a concentration of between 2 and 6% can be used as cryoprotectants, with sucrose being the best cryoprotectant (A).
