製品詳細

PAXgene Blood DNAシステムは、採血、安定化、輸送用のパクスジーンDNA採血管（日本ベクトン・ディッキンソン株式会社より入手可能、cat. no. 761115）と、DNA精製用に1本の遠心管で調製できるPAXgene Blood DNA Kitで構成されています。

パフォーマンス

The fully automated QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit procedure generates ccfDNA yields comparable to the manual QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit procedure (see figure High performance, comparable to QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit). Since yield is strongly dependent of donor, individual yields may vary. Onboard measures of the QIAsymphony SP minimize cross-contamination.

原理

Apoptosis and lysis of white blood cells in unstabilized whole blood releases genomic DNA into plasma, which dilutes naturally occurring ccfDNA. PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes contain an additive that prevents blood coagulation and immediately stabilizes blood cells via a non-crosslinking stabilization solution (see figure ). This impedes the release of intracellular DNA and maintains constant ccfDNA levels in plasma. When used with PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes, the proven magnetic particle technology of the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit provides a rapid, automated procedure to isolate ccfDNA of high quality and purity (see figure ).

PCR results from blood collected in PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes remain stable over storage time.

Isolated ccfDNA is compatible with methylation-specific downstream applications.

操作手順

The workflow begins with a centrifugation step that separates plasma from the cellular fraction of the whole blood collected into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes. The plasma is then carefully transferred into a second tube. A second centrifugation step can be carried out optionally to remove any traces of buffy coat. The pure plasma is then transferred to a third tube which is loaded into the QIAsymphony SP.
In the QIAsymphony SP, plasma proteins are digested by proteinase K while ccfDNA binds to the surface of magnetic beads (see figure The QIAsymphony SP processes samples containing magnetic particles). Depending on the chosen protocol line, predominantly small ccfDNA fragments (STA protocol line) or small and large ccfDNA fragments (LAF protocol line) are isolated. Three wash steps ensure contaminant removal. Finally, ccfDNA is eluted from the magnetic particles and is ready for use in downstream applications (see figure Two protocol lines of the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit for different research needs).

裏付けデータと数値

Isolated ccfDNA is compatible with methylation-specific downstream applications.

Whole blood of 4 healthy donors was collected into either EDTA or PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes. Blood was left at room temperature for up to 7 days. Each day, ccfDNA was isolated from samples, bisulphite converted (Epitect FAST kit, QIAGEN) and analyzed with the GEMINI assay (Clinical Genomics) based on 2 methylated (BCAT1 and IKZF1) and 1 control (ACTB) target. Three PCR replicates per target sequence were analyzed. ccfDNA from blood stored in EDTA tubes generated more false positives than from blood stored in PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes (data courtesy of Clinical Genomics).

FAQ

The QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit can be sued with 2 protocol lines. The standard protocols (STA) predominantely isolate small ccfDNA fragments. The large fragment protocols (LAF) efficiently co-purify large and small ccfDNA fragments. Both lines include a protocol for 2.4 ml and another for 4.8 ml plasma input.

FAQ ID - 3654

The elution volume of the standard protocols (STA) is fixed at 60 µl. The large fragment protocols (LAF) enable elution in 3 different volumes: 60, 100 and 150 µl.

FAQ ID - 3655

The expiration date is printed on the kit label and encoded in the bar code of the reagent cartridges.

FAQ ID - 3651

Whole blood drawn into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes can be stored for at least 24 hours at 35°C. Higher temperatures will lead to lysis of blood cells and release of genomic DNA into plasma.

FAQ ID - 3640

To date, ccfDNA from blood samples collected and processed using the PAXgene Blood ccfDNA System have been successfully tested in PCR, including multiplex qPCR, and NGS applications.

FAQ ID - 3658

The recommended sample input format is the 14 ml Falcon® polystyrene round bottom tube 17 x 100 mm supplied by Corning (formerly supplied by BD).

FAQ ID - 3653

No. Freezing blood drawn into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes results in lysis of red and white blood cells and release of genomic DNA.

FAQ ID - 3642

Yes, the inside of PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes is sterilized during production.

FAQ ID - 3636

The expiration date is printed on the tube label and on the shelf carton.

FAQ ID - 3633

When closed properly with the provided strips and stored at room temperature (15–25°C), a reagent cartridge can be used up to 6 weeks after the initial run.

FAQ ID - 3650

Yes. Whole blood in PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes can be stored at 8–15°C for up to 7 days. Storing blood in PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes below room temperature does not extend stability.

FAQ ID - 3641

If cryoprecipitates cannot be resolved completely by vortexing, the sample should be centrifuged to prevent precipitates from blocking the column. To ensure that no cfDNA is co-precipitated, centrifugation can be performed at a lower speed (at 6,800xg for 3 minutes at room temperature, as stated in the Protocol Sheet for the QS DSP Circulating DNA Kit).

FAQ ID - 3646

Plasma generated from whole blood collected into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes can be stored at 2–8°C for up to 14 days. We recommend freezing plasma at −20°C or −80°C for longer storage periods (long-term storage studies are ongoing).

FAQ ID - 3644

The yield of ccfDNA depends on the target ccfDNA. Nevertheless, yields obtained from PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes are comparable to those obtained from the same volume of plasma separated directly after drawing blood into a spray-dried EDTA tube. In the PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube, however, this yield remains stable for up to 7 days when the tube is stored at 15–25°C or for up to 24 hours when stored at 35°C. In contrast, genomic DNA is released from lysed and apoptotic cells in the unstabilized contents of the EDTA tube soon after blood draw.

FAQ ID - 3637

Yes. Further information on phlebotomy technique with the PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube can be found in the PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube Product Circular under the Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3626

The number of extractions that can be performed with a kit is independent of sample volume. A kit contains sufficient reagents for 192 extractions.

FAQ ID - 3649

If the instructions for use are followed, there is no possibility of backflow during phlebotomy and thus, no possibility of reagent going into the patient’s arm.

FAQ ID - 3629

A complete 10 ml blood draw ensures optimal results. However, depending on the downstream application and target ccfDNA fragment size, tubes filled with as little as 6.5 ml whole blood can be used without adversely affecting results.

FAQ ID - 3638
