Problems solved by technology

However, in actual use, although the CRISPR-based method is used in combination with nucleic acid amplification technology to achieve high-sensitivity detection, due to the difference in reaction temperature and buffer component concentration, this combination is often divided into multiple stages, which cannot be achieved. One-step detection not only increases the difficulty of experimental operation, but also increases the possibility of cross-contamination
Moreover, this segmented operation also makes these methods unsuitable for digital nucleic acid detection, limiting their application
Moreover, the existing methods for preparing monodisperse droplets are complicated to operate, take a long time, and are prone to dead volume, resulting in waste of reagents.
It is not conducive to the organic combination of digital nucleic acid detection technology

Abstract

The invention discloses a polydispersion liquid drop digital nucleic acid detection method and application thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: mixing an oil phase solution, a detection sample and a detection reagent, generating liquid drops through a simple method, incubating, and quantitatively detecting target nucleic acid molecules in the sample according to the number and volume of positive liquid drops. According to the method, the reaction reagent is quickly divided into independent liquid drops through simple dispersion operation, so that the requirements on the environment and instruments are reduced, and meanwhile, the demand quantity of the sample and the detection reagent is remarkably reduced. Moreover, through rapid emulsion segmentation, nucleic acid amplification carried out before reagent segmentation or Cas protein cleavage of a target is effectively avoided, the target nucleic acid concentration is calculated based on the droplet size, and the detection sensitivity can reach an aM level.
