Problems solved by technology

As the most widely used dewaxing method with the most commercial kits, there are still many problems in the xylene dewaxing method: first, xylene is a toxic organic reagent, which is not good for the health of experimenters; secondly, xylene The dewaxing method requires multi-step reagent addition and centrifugation, the experimental process is cumbersome, and the dewaxing and cracking steps take at least 3 hours
However, after the incubation at 60°C, the sample tube needs to be taken out, and then placed in the heating module after the temperature has risen to 90°C, so as to avoid excessive fragmentation of the nucleic acid due to the long de-crosslinking time caused by the heating process; and under the removed oil layer In the water phase process, problems such as the solidification of the upper oil phase caused by temperature changes can easily lead to problems such as difficulty in taking liquid, inaccurate liquid volume, or the inability to take out the sample solution at all. It takes at least 2 hours, plus the extraction step, the whole experiment takes about 3 hours
[0006] In the existing xylene dewaxing method, the dewaxing reagent is toxic, and a slight misoperation during the experiment will cause harm to the personal safety of the experimenter, and there is a certain risk in use; secondly, it requires multi-step reagent addition and Centrifugal operation, the experimental process is cumbersome and time-consuming
The silicone oil cracking two-step dewaxing method requires at least 2 hours of incubation time, requires two different temperatures, and needs to take out the sample tube during the temperature change process, which increases the overall dewaxing time cost and operational complexity. Not conducive to integration with automation devices

Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid dewaxing method for nucleic acid extraction of an FFPE sample, and relates to the field of nucleic acid extraction of paraffin samples. The FFPE extraction method realizes simple and rapid dewaxing of the FFPE sample by adopting an oil phase reagent capable of dissolving paraffin and an aqueous phase reagent capable of lysing a tissue sample by single-temperature incubation, incubation is carried out at a specific condition for 30 min to 2 h after above reagents are added into a sample tube with FFPE, a lower aqueous layer liquid is taken out by a mechanical device or a pipetting device, and the aqueous layer liquid can be used for subsequent nucleic acid extraction. The invention also provides a rapid dewaxing kit using the method. Dewaxing and tissue cracking operations are carried out at the single temperature, so the experimental flow is simplified, and the overall dewaxing time is shortened; and a specific reagent system is adopted, so ideal dewaxing and nucleic acid extraction effects are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to extracting nucleic acid from paraffin-embedded samples, in particular to a rapid dewaxing method for extracting nucleic acid from FFPE samples. Background technique [0002] Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) is a tissue preservation technique. In order to maintain the nuclear protein structure of this technique, the tissue is first fixed with formalin and then embedded in solid paraffin for histological diagnosis or research after sectioning. [0003] If you want to conduct molecular biology research on FFPE tissue, the first step is to extract DNA. However, the cross-linking effect of the fixative will damage the nucleic acid structure, and the formalin tissue fixation and paraffin embedding will hinder the extraction of nucleic acid, inhibit the activity of DNA polymerase and affect PCR amplification. In addition, paraffin hinders the penetration of digestive juice into the tissue, thereby inhibiting the contact b...
