製品詳細

The PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube is a plastic, closed, evacuated tube for the collection, anticoagulation, transport and storage of human whole blood samples and the stabilization of ccfDNA. When the tube is used in conjunction with the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit or the QIAGEN QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit, high-quality ccfDNA can be isolated for use in downstream analytical assays.

パフォーマンス

PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes simplify the collection and processing of whole blood for subsequent purification of circulating, cell-free DNA (ccfDNA). The tube additive stabilizes blood cells (see "" and "") and blocks apoptosis (see ""). Consequently, using PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes for whole blood collection, storage and transport helps prevent the release of intracellular DNA into plasma (see ""). ccfDNA levels are stable for up to 7 days at room temperature (15–25°C) or up to 24 hours at 35°C, so blood samples can be transported and stored at room temperature to process plasma later (see "").

Plasma generated from whole blood collected into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes and processed with the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit or the QIAGEN QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit, yields high-quality ccfDNA for downstream analytical assays, including but not limited to PCR-based assays and next-generation sequencing (NGS).

原理

The PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube is a plastic, closed, evacuated tube for the collection, anticoagulation, transport and storage of human whole blood samples and the stabilization of ccfDNA. The tube contains an additive that anticoagulates blood and stabilizes blood cells via a non-crosslinking stabilization solution. This helps prevent the release of intracellular DNA into the plasma and maintains constant ccfDNA levels during sample storage before processing.

操作手順

The PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tube allows collection of 10 ml whole blood into a closed, evacuated system. Using standard venipuncture technique, blood is collected into an evacuated tube that contains 1.5 ml cell stabilization additive, resulting in a ratio of 0.15 ml additive per 1 ml blood. Isolation of ccfDNA from plasma is carried out using the QIAsymphony PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Kit or the QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit.

アプリケーション

ccfDNA purified from plasma generated from whole blood collected into PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes can be used in a wide range of downstream applications, including:

PCR, including digital, multiplex and quantitative real-time PCR
Pharmacogenomic studies
SNP genotyping
Next-generation sequencing

裏付けデータと数値

PAXgene Blood ccfDNA stabilization reagent helps prevent release of gDNA into plasma.

Whole blood was stored in EDTA tubes or PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes. ccfDNA was extracted from the plasma immediately following blood collection (t0) or after 6 days storage (t6) at room temperature. Eluate (1 µl) was analyzed using the Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit. Plasma from EDTA tubes showed an increase in apoptotic gDNA fragments, whereas plasma from PAXgene Blood ccfDNA Tubes showed a ccfDNA profile comparable to day 0.

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

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.
