Abstract

The invention provides photoresponsive gel microspheres for dPCR-method nucleic acid detection and application of the photoresponsive gel microspheres in Escherichia coli detection. A composite nanomaterial with efficient photothermal conversion characteristics and good biocompatibility is prepared through coating each silica microsphere sequentially with an MXene layer and a silica coating; and a hydrogel mixed solution doped with the composite nanomaterial is emulsified into composite gel microspheres through a micro-fluidic chip, so that a gel-sol-controllable-conversion and temperature-control microcarrier with photoresponsiveness is obtained. The prepared composite gel microspheres can generate heat under near-infrared light to be converted into sol micro-droplets so as to ensure diffused contact of a system, a PCR temperature cycle process can be completed under programmed light stimulation, and the composite gel microspheres are solidified into spheres after reaction so as to stably store monoclonal information. The novel method does not depend on complex and expensive equipment, is wide in application range, can be used for effectively detecting the most common pathogen Escherichia coli infecting a human body, and has a huge value in multiple aspects such as public health.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology and microfluidics, and in particular relates to a light-responsive gel microsphere for nucleic acid detection by dPCR method and its application in the detection of Escherichia coli. Background technique: [0002] Escherichia coli is one of the most common pathogens that infect the body and cause diseases, and can infect many organs and parts such as blood, urinary tract, and skin. Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) has brought a turning point to the detection status because of its high sensitivity and absolute quantification. Nucleic acid detection based on it is a frontier hotspot in the field of molecular biology. At present, this technology needs to rely on complex temperature control modules, which has become a barrier to its promotion; in addition to thermal conduction, other thermal cycle modes driven by heat generation or heat transfer are rarely reported. [0003] Nanoma...
