为克服传统平板凝胶电泳法操作步骤繁琐,实验时间长,以及采用紫外光源可能对人体造成伤害等缺陷,该文研制了一种基于电泳芯片的快速凝胶电泳仪,仅需DNA点样于电泳芯片后,将电泳芯片置于该电泳仪便可实现DNA样品快速分离及实时在线成像检测。以20、50、100 bp DNA ladder为检测对象,在仪器内对其分离效果进行验证及优化,其最佳电泳条件为电压100 V/cm,琼脂糖质量分数分别为2.5%、1.0%、1.4%。结果表明在14 min内可以实现3种DNA样品的高效分离,DNA迁移距离与分子量的相关系数均高于0.9,且该仪器具有较高的稳定性。
Abstract
As traditional slab gel electrophoresis has some disadvantages such as tedious operation steps,long experimental time and possible damage to human health from ultraviolet light,a rapid gel electrophoresis system was developed based on electrophoresis biochip,which could realize the separation and imaging of DNA by adding the DNA sample into the biochip.Taking the 20,50 and 100 bp DNA ladder as target compounds,the DNA fragments were separated in the gel electrophoresis system,and the optimal electrophoretic parameters were as follows:the electric field strength:100 V/cm,the agarose mass concentration:1%.Results showed that all the DNA samples could be efficiently resolved in 14 min with the correlation coefficient between migration distance and the DNA size higher than 0.91.Besides,the instrument could run with a good stability.
