Product Details

QIAsymphony DNA Kits enable automated purification of DNA from a broad range of sample types on the QIAsymphony SP with sample volumes of up to 1 ml. Genomic DNA can be purified from human whole blood, buffy coat, human and animal tissues, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE), cultured cells, and bacterial cultures. The QIAsymphony DNA Mini Kit also enables purification of viral nucleic acids from human whole blood. Optimized protocols provide high yields of pure DNA, and flexible elution volumes allow DNA concentration to be easily optimized for each downstream application. Novel, prefilled reagent cartridges reduce setup time and minimize manual handling. Bar code reading enables full tracking of reagents.

Performance

Automated purification of DNA on the QIAsymphony SP provides high yields of DNA (see figure " High yields of DNA from human whole blood"). Spectrophotometric analysis showed that the DNA was highly pure (see figure " Highly pure DNA"). DNA gave high-performance results in downstream PCR of a single-copy gene with no inhibition of PCR observed with 1 µl or 10 µl eluate in the amplification reaction (see figures " High-performance results in PCR — A" and " High-performance results in PCR — B").
See figures

Principle

QIAsymphony DNA Kits combine the speed and efficiency of silica-based purification of genomic DNA with the convenient handling of magnetic particles (see figure " Efficient processing of magnetic particles"). Innovative, ready-to-run reagent cartridges are prefilled with magnetic particles and all reagents required for the purification procedure, including accessory enzymes and are automatically opened by the QIAsymphony SP, which helps to minimize the risk of environmental contamination (see figure " Prefilled, sealed reagent cartridges"). Worktable setup is rapid, which saves your valuable time. Simply place up to 2 reagent cartridges in the consumables drawer. The reagent cartridges can be either from the same kit or from different kits, enabling different purification procedures to be performed within the same run of 96 samples. Reagent volumes only for the selected number of samples are used, giving you complete cost control.
See figures

Procedure

For tissues, cultured cells, and bacteria protocols, manual sample pretreatment is required. The purification procedure is designed to ensure safe and reproducible handling of potentially infectious samples, and comprises 4 steps: lyse, bind, wash, and elute. The user can choose between different elution volumes depending on the protocol. The QIAsymphony SP performs all steps of the purification procedure. Up to 96 samples are processed in a single run.

FAQ

Can I program my own protocols for the QIAsymphony SP?

No. Modified QIAGEN protocols or custom protocols for QIAsymphony SP can be developed to meet your specific requirements and purchased from QIAGEN.

 

 

 

FAQ ID -1904
Can uneven sample numbers be processed on the QIAsymphony SP module?

Yes. Any number of samples between 1 and 96 can be processed on the QIAsymphony SP.

 

 

FAQ ID -1906
Does carrier RNA have to be added using the QIAsymphony Virus Blood 200 Protocol?

No. We do not recommend use of carrier RNA with the QIAsymphony Virus Blood 200 Protocol.

 

FAQ ID -2163
How does magnetic-particle carry-over in QIAsymphony eluates need to be handled?

In general, magnetic particles are not carried over into QIAsymphony eluates. However, if high amounts of genomic DNA are purified (large number of white blood cells in the sample) magnetic-particle carryover may be observed. If carryover does occur, magnetic particles in eluates will not affect most downstream applications. If magnetic particles need to be removed before performing downstream applications, tubes or plates containing eluates should first be placed in a suitable magnet and the eluates transferred to a clean tube.

 

FAQ ID -2166
How should DNA isolated on the QIAsymphony be stored?

Eluates obtained on the QIAsymphony SP can be stored at 2–8°C for 3 days before use in downstream applications and should be placed at –20°C or –80°C for long-term storage.

 

 

FAQ ID -2165
What are the expected DNA yields from tissue processed on the QIAsymphony SP?

FAQ ID -2992
What are the recommended lysis times for tissue samples on the QIAsymphony SP?
Lysis time varies depending on the tissue type processed. For recommended lysis times refer to the tissue protocol sheets. If lysis is incomplete after recommended lysis time, as indicated by the presence of insoluble material or highly viscous lysates, lysis time can be prolonged or insoluble material can be removed by centrifugation. Overnight lysis is possible and does not affect the preparation.
FAQ ID -2993
Do samples require pretreatment before loading onto the QIAsymphony SP for DNA extraction?

Yes. Samples have to be completely lysed and homogenized prior to automated processing on the QIAsymphony SP platform using QIAsymphony DNA Kits.

Samples are lysed by Proteinase K digestion in lysis buffers optimized for tissue, cultured cells, and bacteria, respectively. For lysis of gram-positive bacteria, lysozyme is used in addition to Proteinase K. Lysed samples are homogenized by pipetting up and down, and insoluble material is removed by centrifugation (see the QIAsymphony DNA Handbook for details).

 

FAQ ID -1916
How should samples be stored before purification using the Virus Blood 200 Protocol on the QIAsymphony?

Samples should be processed on the QIAsymphony within 24 hours of collection. Samples should be transported and stored at 2–25°C.

 

 

 

FAQ ID -2157
Which sample types can be processed using the QIAsymphony Virus Blood 200 protocol?

Human whole blood samples treated with EDTA or citrate can be processed using the QIAsymphony Virus Blood 200 protocol with the QIAsymphony DNA Mini Kit. We do not recommend using heparin-treated blood samples.

 

 

 

FAQ ID -2154
Will mitochondrial DNA also be isolated using the DNA Tissue protocols on the QIAsymphony SP?

Yes. The DNA Tissue protocols on the QIAsymphony SP purify genomic and mitochondrial DNA.

 

 

 

 

FAQ ID -1921
Is mitochondrial DNA isolated with the QIAsymphony DNA Investigator Kit on the QIAsymphony SP?

Final elution volumes of 60 µl, 85 µl, 110 µl, or 165 µl can be selected using the QIAsymphony Virus Blood 200 protocol. Please note that the initial elution volumes are 95 µl, 120 µl, 145 µl, or 200 µl. When calculating the amount of internal control(s) as well as the titer of the processed sample, it is necessary to take into consideration the initial volume of elution buffer that is used for each sample.

 

FAQ ID -2160
Is it possible to modify QIAsymphony protocols?

No. Protocols on the QIAsymphony SP cannot be modified by users. However, protocols allow elution volumes to be selected within a predefined range. Customized protocols for QIAsymphony SP will be available on request.
