The invention provides a detection technology and method for meat containing animal-derived components. The detection technology and method is based on 3D digital PCR (
polymerase chain reaction) technology and fluorescent quantitative PCR technology and comprises the following steps: 1)
DNA of a to-be-detected sample is extracted, and a PCR amplification template is obtained; 2) a PCR
system is prepared, and 3D digital PCR and fluorescent quantitative PCR amplification are performed, wherein the PCR
system comprises the PCR amplification template, a universal primer pair, a fluorescent probe and the like and adopts a
dose-effect curve of a pure animal-derived sample standard as the
standard curve; 3) the copy number and the percentage composition of the animal-derived components in the to-be-detected sample are calculated according to
fluorescence signals produced through the 3D digital PCR. According to the method, a PCR liquid is subjected to smear
processing with the 3D digital PCR technology, so that interference by background
DNA and a substrate is reduced greatly, and the sensitivity can be as low as one copy; meanwhile, by means of the
standard curve, direct
processing of follow-up samples is facilitated, and operation steps are simplified greatly.
