Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable qualitative or quantitative detection of a mutagen quickly, by having the mutagen adsorbed by DNA to be irradiated with ultraviolet rays after the application therefor of a gel electrophoresis. CONSTITUTION:A mutagen such as nitrosoguanidine, benzpyrene, ethylmethane sulfonic acid or nitrous acid is adsorbed by DNA. To achieve the adsorption, solutions, one with a DNA density of 5-10mug/ml and the other with a mutagen density of about 10-20mM are mixed for about 5-10min under a room temperature condition. In this case, a solvent employs, for example, a TE buffer or the like. Then, a gel such as agarose, dexitrane, polyacrylamide or a crosslinked bond thereof is used at a density of about 0.3-1% and an electrophoresis is performed under conditions of a voltage of about 50-100V and required time of about 30-60min. Thereafter, when the solution from which the agarose gel was separated is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, light is emitted to measure absorbance thereof thereby enabling quantitative detection from a calibration curve.
