This study proposes a method for detecting nucleic acid amplification using pyrophosphate, which requires only two reagents and an automated analyzer. The technique has high sensitivity and reproducibility, and can detect pyrophosphate within 10 minutes. Therefore, this method has the potential to be a new, rapid, and simple detection technique for amplified nucleic acids.
Genetic testing has been increasingly used in several fields. In many applications, nucleic acid amplification technology is required. However, current methods to detect nucleic acid amplification require expensive reagents and special equipment or exhibit limited sensitivity, which hinders their use. To address this issue, this study reports an assay method for detecting occurrence of acid amplification in post-amplification samples using pyrophosphate, a highly sensitive byproduct of nucleic acid amplification. The method proposed requires two reagents and an automated analyzer. First, hydrogen peroxide is derived from pyrophosphate, an indicator of nucleic acid amplification, and the oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide is used to produce Fe (III) from Fe (II). The specific metal chelator 5-Br-PAPS forms a complex with the trivalent iron produced, resulting in a highly sensitive coloration. The within-run reproducibility of our method (n = 20) was less than 3.67% at each concentration tested, and the detection limit was 0.075 mu mol/L, sufficient for quantitative analysis. The technique described could detect pyrophosphate in a sample that was amplified using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification method after only 10 min. Therefore, the proposed method has the potential to be a new, rapid, and simple detection technique for amplified nucleic acids.
