In addition, the kit is also suitable for recovering and purifying DNA from PCR products, enzymatic reaction solutions, or crude DNA (including genomic DNA) obtained by various methods. Buffer PB contains a pH indicator, and the solution is yellow, which facilitates judging whether the pH value of the solution is suitable for binding to the DNA adsorption column. The DNA recovery efficiency can be as high as 80%, and the purified DNA can be directly used for sequencing, ligation, restriction enzyme digestion (enzyme digestion), PCR, labeling, and other applications.Product Components and Storage Conditions: U1492721 ComponentComponentStorage U1492721ABuffer BL30 mlRT U1492721BBuffer PB25 mlRT U1492721CBuffer DW212 mlRT U1492721DBuffer EB10 mlRT U1492721EFineBind MinElute DNA Spin Columns50个RT U1492721F2 ml Collection Tubes50个RTStorage Conditions:This kit can be stored for 12 months at room temperature (15°C–25°C) under dry conditions. Precipitation may form in Buffer PB at low temperatures; before use, it is necessary to redissolve the buffer in a 37°C water bath and shake it well before use.Precautions:1. The addition of Buffer BL can improve the adsorption capacity of the adsorption column, enhance its uniformity and stability, and eliminate the impact of high temperature/humidity or other adverse environmental factors on the adsorption column. Before use, please check whether Buffer BL is turbid. If turbidity occurs, heat it in a 37°C water bath for a few minutes to restore clarity.2. Buffer PB contains a pH indicator and is yellow, indicating a pH ≤ 7.5.Operating Steps:Before use, add absolute ethanol to Buffer DW2. Please refer to the label on the bottle for the volume to be added.I. Recovering DNA Fragments from Agarose Gels1. Column Equilibration Step: Add 500 µl Buffer BL to the adsorption column (FineBind MinElute DNA Spin Columns) placed in a collection tube. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube. (Please use columns processed on the same day)2. Cut the single target DNA band from the agarose gel (remove excess parts as much as possible) and place it in a clean centrifuge tube, then weigh it.3. Add an equal volume of Buffer PB to the gel block (if the gel weighs 0.1 g, its volume can be regarded as 100 µl, so add 100 µl Buffer PB). Incubate in a 50°C water bath for about 10 minutes, gently inverting the centrifuge tube up and down continuously during this period to ensure the gel block is fully dissolved. (If the volume of the gel block is too large, it can be cut into small pieces in advance.)Note: For recovering small fragments < 150 bp, the volume of Buffer PB can be increased to 3 times to improve the recovery rate; after the gel block is completely dissolved, it is best to cool the solution to room temperature before loading onto the column, because the adsorption column has a stronger ability to bind DNA at room temperature. The gel should appear yellow after complete dissolution, and then subsequent operations can be performed. If the color of the solution is orange-red or purple after the gel is completely dissolved, use 10 µl of 3M sodium acetate (pH 5.0) to adjust the color of the solution to yellow before proceeding with subsequent operations. (Buffer PB contains a pH indicator. When pH ≤ 7.5, the solution is yellow, and DNA can effectively bind to the membrane. When the pH is high, the solution turns orange-red or purple and needs to be adjusted.)4. Add the solution obtained in the previous step to the adsorption column (placed in the collection tube), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: The capacity of the adsorption column is 700 µl. If the sample volume is larger than 700 µl, it can be added in batches.5. Add 500 µl Buffer DW2 (with absolute ethanol added before use) to the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.6. Repeat step 5.7. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes.8. Place the adsorption column into a clean centrifuge tube, 悬空滴加 an appropriate amount of Buffer EB (Buffer EB is heated at 65°C for 3-5 minutes before use, preheated in advance) to the middle part of the adsorption membrane, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the DNA solution.Note: The volume of the eluent should not be less than 30 µl; a smaller volume will affect the recovery efficiency. If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH, sterile water can be used for elution. The pH of the eluent has a great impact on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the eluent, ensure its pH is within 7.0-8.5 (NaOH can be used to adjust the pH of water to this range). The elution efficiency is low when the pH is below 7.0.II. Recovering DNA from PCR Reaction Solutions or Restriction Enzyme Digestion Solutions1. Column Equilibration Step: Add 500 µl of Buffer BL to the adsorption column (FineBind MinElute DNA Spin Columns) placed in a collection tube. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube. (Please use columns processed on the same day.)2. Calculate the volume of the PCR reaction solution or restriction enzyme digestion solution, add an equal volume of Buffer PB to it, and mix thoroughly (there is no need to remove paraffin oil or mineral oil).Note: For recovering small fragments < 150 bp, the volume of Buffer PB can be increased to 3 times to improve the recovery rate; after mixing, the solution should appear yellow before proceeding with subsequent operations. If the solution is orange-red or purple, use 10 µl of 3M sodium acetate (pH 5.0) to adjust the color of the solution to yellow before continuing.3. Add the solution obtained in the previous step to the adsorption column (placed in the collection tube), let it stand at room temperature for 2 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: The capacity of the adsorption column is 700 µl. If the sample volume exceeds 700 µl, add it in batches.4. Add 500 µl of Buffer DW2 (ensure absolute ethanol is added before use) to the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.5. Repeat step 4 once.6.Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes.7. Transfer the adsorption column to a clean centrifuge tube, suspend and add an appropriate amount of Buffer EB (preheat Buffer EB by heating at 65°C for 3–5 minutes before use) to the middle of the adsorption membrane, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the DNA solution.Note: The volume of the eluent should not be less than 30 µl; a smaller volume will reduce recovery efficiency. If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH, sterile water can be used as the eluent. The pH of the eluent has a significant impact on elution efficiency. If water is used as the eluent, ensure its pH is within the range of 7.0–8.5 (NaOH can be used to adjust the pH of water to this range); elution efficiency will be low if the pH is below 7.0...

Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.DNA Molecular Weight Standard IIProduct IntroductionThis kit is a genotyping product for human Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on the latest research progress in molecular epidemiology1) and optimized by process. It utilizes variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphisms in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome for genotyping to differentiate clinical strains, and is a powerful tool for studying the molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and monitoring the status of tuberculosis transmission. Compared with other existing Mycobacterium tuberculosis VNTR typing systems based on the VNTR principle, this typing system has a stronger ability to discriminate strains prevalent in China1,2,3), and is therefore particularly suitable for the needs of Chinese users.By carefully optimizing the primer sequences of each PCR reaction and the composition of the premixed reaction solution, this product has a strong anti-interference power. Compared with the user's own reagents, this product significantly improves the signal intensity of specific bands and reduces the appearance of non-specific bands when using crude templates (boiling bacterial solution), which makes the experimental operation easier and quicker, and at the same time, improves the success rate of the test. The premixed reaction solution is chemically stable and can effectively withstand repeated freezing and thawing (10 times) and a longer period of time (one week) at room temperature, which is better adapted to the user's need for flexibility in the detection work.This kit is a companion product to the TB Genotyping Kit VNTR-9. For samples identified as clustered or identical strains by the VNTR-9 kit, this product can be used for finer further typing identification if necessary. The three high-resolution detection sites VNTR3820, VNTR4120 and VNTR3232 in this product can be used in combination with the nine detection sites in the VNTR-9 to increase the resolution index (Hunter-Gaston index (HGI) to 0.9931).References1) Luo T et al.

The strains to be tested should be tested by VNTR-9 typing test first, and then use this product for testing. And the results of this product should be integrated and analyzed with the results of VNTR-9.2.To avoid contamination, it is recommended that the preparation of the organisms be done within a different location than the preparation of the PCR Mix and that different pipettes be used.3.Care should be taken at all stages of sample DNA collection, extraction and amplification to ensure proper labeling and to prevent cross-contamination between different samples.4.Commonly used reagents and consumables need to be autoclaved before experimentation.5.Each tube of PCR Mix contains different primers and cannot be mixed. It can be dispensed into different amounts at once according to the experimental needs to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.6.To avoid splashing the reaction solution when opening the reaction tube, centrifuge briefly before opening the cap and collect the liquid at the bottom of the tube. In case of accidental splashing on gloves or table, change gloves immediately and wipe the table with 75% alcohol or dilute acid.7.Be careful not to cross-contaminate the PCR Mix when aspirating, and it is recommended that the pipette tip be wiped with 75% alcohol 2 times before taking Mix each time.8.Pre-experiment preparation: 1×TE buffer (PH=8.0), 0.5×TBE buffer, agarose, ethidium bromide (EB), normal PCR instrument, DNA electrophoresis equipment and gel imager, 0.2 ml PCR reaction tubes, octuplex or 96-well PCR tubes, pipettes of different sizes: 0.5-10 µl and 20-200 µl.Operation steps1. DNA template preparation:1.1. scrape a small amount (1-2 inoculation loops) of sample from solid medium, resuspend in 100ul TE and inactivate at 80°C for 30 minutes.1.2. The inactivated strain was taken out of the P3 laboratory as follows:Boil at 100°C for 10 minutes (be careful to avoid bursting the cap of the EP tube during boiling to avoid letting water into the tube), place immediately on ice for 2 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 × g) for 10 minutes, take the supernatant and place in another sterile EP tube, label it, and store at -20°C.2. Testing procedures:2.1. Remove the TB Genotyping Kit HV-3, allow the liquid to equilibrate to room temperature, mix by shaking slightly 3-4 times, and then centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) for 5 seconds to allow the capped liquid to fall back into the tube.2.2.Three-locus VNTR typing: strains with identical results at 12 loci need to be further VNTR typed, i.e., the following four loci are added for comparison.1）PCR amplification: the reaction system was 20 µl. 19 µl of PCR Mix of VNTR3820, VNTR4120, and VNTR3232 were added to each PCR tube, 1 µl of DNA template was added, and mixed well.2）Amplification conditions:3) Gel preparation and electrophoresis:a: Notes:Important! Positive (H37Rv strain DNA) and negative controls (deionized water) need to be set up for each experiment.Key! This experiment is based on agarose gel electrophoresis to interpret the genotype of VNTR locus, therefore, in order to make the results accurate, it is necessary to follow the unified standard operation in this step of electrophoresis, and the following points should be noted:a-1: The comb used for glue making is 18 holes.a-2: The two wells on the left and right sides of the gel were discarded due to the tendency to distort the bands during electrophoresis, affecting the interpretation of the results, or a negative control was spotted in one of the wells. The remaining 16 wells were divided into 12 samples, 3 DNA Markers and 1 positive control. The order of spotting was "1, 2, M, 3, 4, 5, 6, M, 7, 8, 9, 10, M, 11, 12, H37Rv", the numbers represent samples, and M represents DNA Marker.a-3: When PCR amplification products are subjected to the first electrophoresis and Marker I is used, the gel concentration is 1%, the voltage is 150 V, and the time is 100-120 min.a-4: If the amplification product fragment is too large (>1000bp) and needs to be electrophoresed again and Marker II is used, the gel concentration is 0.8%, the voltage is 150V and the time is 150 minutes.b: Gluing as well as the electrophoresis process:PCR amplification products were electrophoresed using a 1% agarose gel.To prepare 1% agarose gel, 12×12 cm gel tray was used to make the gel, each gel was 80 ml.b-1: Weigh 0.8g of agarose, add 80ml of 0.5×TBE, weigh it on the balance and put it into the microwave oven, heat it on high for 2-3 minutes to make the agarose dissolve completely, shake it well, and observe it as a homogeneous and transparent solution without particles, then weigh it again on the balance and make up the appropriate amount of double-distilled water to keep the concentration of the gum unaffected.b-2: When the melted gel was cooled to about 55°C add 4 µl of ethidium bromide (10ug/ml) and gently swirl to mix well. The gel was made with an 18-tooth comb and the warm gel was poured into a 12 × 12 cm gel tray.b-3: Allow the gel to completely set (40 minutes at room temperature), carefully pull out the comb, remove the tray, and place it in the electrophoresis tank. Add 0.5× TBE buffer to the electrophoresis tank, not exceeding the gel surface by 1-2mm.b-4: Sample electrophoresis: add 12 samples to each gel (the topmost wells are not sampled), add 3-5µl PCR products to each well, and at the same time add three 5µl DNA MarkerⅠ to each gel. The voltage is 150V and the electrophoresis time is 100-120 minutes. This step is the key to the accuracy of the final readings of each point, and needs to be operated uniformly according to this standard.b-5: Some loci have amplification products greater than 1000bp in clinical strains, and these amplification products were then electrophoresed using 0.8% agarose gel, with DNA Marker II added as a control for the band size, voltage 150V, electrophoresis time 150 minutes.4) Results display:5) Analysis of results:a. If the genotypes of the three highly variable loci are also the same in different strains, they can be identified as clustered strains;b. If the high variant readings are highly similar, i.e., only 1-2 high variant sites are different, they need to be combined with epidemiologic data to identify if they are clustered strains;c. If all 3 high variant loci are genotypically discordant, identify as a single strain.Appendix 1: Rules for reading VNTR lociAppendix 2: VNTR locus repeat unit readout table...
