16-DPA preservation solution, as the name suggests, is a solution used to protect ribonucleic acid RNA and extend its storage time outside the cell. For different samples and different experimental purposes, the composition of the RNA preservation solution will vary, and it is usually used for animal tissues. Cellular is not suitable for plant cells. This article mainly refers to the RNA preservation solution for viruses.

The 16-DPA preservation solution of the virus is mainly used for experimental research such as virus nucleic acid detection or viral genome sequencing. The virus is only the virus whose genetic material nucleic acid is RNA. This RNA preservation solution is an inactivated virus preservation solution. The sampling swab sample is immersed. Because the lysis salt added in the preservation solution will quickly lyse the virus membrane protein to inactivate the virus quickly, the RNase inhibitor in the preservation solution can Inhibit RNase activity to ensure that the viral nucleic acid RNA will not be degraded for a period of time Therefore, this RNA preservation solution can not only quickly inactivate the virus to eliminate its infectivity, but also release the viral nucleic acid, ensuring that the nucleic acid can be tested to determine whether the sample is infected.
