Relative transcript levels of [A] FOS and [B] IL1B in RNA purified from blood stored in situ at -20°C in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes. Blood, collected from 10 donors, each with two RNA sample preparation replicates, was analyzed. The means and standard deviations of all storage test time points are plotted as orange lines with black vertical bars. Assay precision (±3 x total precision of the assay with consideration of single data ([A] 2.34 CT, [B] 1.93 CT) is shown as dashed red lines.

Integrity of RNA purified from whole blood stored in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes at -20°C. Means of RINs of duplicates of all samples from all donors are presented as columns. The ends of upper and lower bars indicate the individual RINs of duplicate samples or, in the case of means, the standard deviations of RINs of all samples from all donors. Blood samples of donors 9 and 10 were excluded from study due to invalid WBC counts which were outside of the acceptance criteria (4.8x10 6-1.1x107 leukocytes/ml).

RNA integrity (RIN) as criterion of product performance. Replicate blood samples from eight donors were processed in several runs with both RNA preparation protocols, by three users, using three equipment sets and QIAcube instruments and three different kit lots. Samples from two donors were randomly selected ([A] donor 2 and [B] donor 6) for RNA integrity analysis. The means and standard deviations of RIN values from quadruplicate (=replicates processed within identical RNA preparation run) and from 36 samples (=replicates processed with several RNA preparation runs by different users, using different lots with different equipment sets and QIAcubes) are presented as columns with bars. The combination of user (uA, uB, uC), kit lot (l1, l2, l3), mean for all combination (mean) and the use of automated and manual RNA preparation protocol (LTA=low-throughput automated protocol, man=manual protocol) is indicated on the x-axis and with the legend.

Blood samples from 48 different donors were collected in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes (6 tubes per donor, 288 tubes in total). The contents of the tubes from 6 donors were pooled and subsequently realiquoted into 36 samples. These 36 samples per 6-donor-pool were processed by 3 different operators (A, B, C). Each operator used 3 different lots (1, 2, 3) of the PAXgene Blood RNA Kit for automated extraction and processed quadruplicate samples from each of the 8 donor pools.A260/A280 values of all individual samples are shown for every operator–lot combination.

QIAamp DNA FFPE QIAcube vs Manual
Fig.: DNA extraction from FFPE samples using the QIAcube. 10 µm sections of a rat liver FFPE sample were lysed according to the QIAamp DNA FFPE tissue protocol. The protocol uses a 90°C heat incubation step to partially reverse protein and DNA crosslinks introduced by formaldehyde treatment. Samples were pooled after lysis, treated with RNase A and redistributed into 48 aliquots of 200 µl lysate each. 12 samples were processed manually and 36 samples were processed using the QIAcube in three independent runs of the QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue protocol. DNA yields were determined spectrophotometrically.

Human stool from three different donors was spiked with Streptococcus pyogenes and Enterococcus faecium cells as well as with the HBV-Virus. DNA from all three stool samples (D1, D2 and D3) was then prepared using the QIAamp DNA Stool Kit using the protocol for ‘Pathogen Detection’ either manually or by using the QIAcube. For both protocols DNA was then eluted in 200 µl and subsequently analyzed with specific real time PCR assays.

Depletion of Human Plasma SamplesQIAcube vs Manual
Human plasma samples were depleted from HSA and IgG using the QIAcube system and the Qproteome Albumin/IgG Depletion Kit. After depletion the flow through was analyzed regarding protein amount (left) and depletion efficiency (right). The mean protein amount is 429 µg in 512 µl which gives a concentration of 0.84 mg/ml. With a standard deviation of 16 µg this leads to a relatively low CV of 3.7 %. The SDS-PAGE shows a reproducible and efficient removal of the most abundant protein species albumin and IgG comparable to the manual depletion protocol.
