Product overview

NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi

Isolation of cell-free DNA from up to 5 ml of blood plasma

  • Superior recovery of fragmented cell-free DNA
  • Parallel purification of 24 samples—special adapter set for NucleoVac 96 Vacuum Manifold
  • Optimized protocol for Cell-Free DNA BCT (“Streck Tubes”)

NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi is designed for rapid preparation of highly pure cell-free DNA from up to 5 ml of blood plasma using vacuum filtration. The application of vacuum filtration technology eliminates tedious centrifugation steps and manual handling of columns during the process (e.g., disposal of collected column flowthrough). Combining NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi with the NucleoVac 96 Vacuum Manifold and the Starter Set Midi enables processing of up to 24 samples in parallel in ~90 minutes.

Protocol overview Application data Product-at-a-glance

Protocol overview  

The purification protocol is based on the lysis of the plasma samples using Proteinase K incubation in the presence of a chaotropic salt-containing buffer. Following the initial lysis step, a binding buffer is added to the samples and the lysate is loaded onto the binding columns. After loading and vacuum filtration-driven binding of the DNA to the silica membrane, impurities are removed by several washing steps, and cfDNA is eluted after a final drying step (Figure 1).

Application data  

Efficient isolation of cfDNA from plasma

The NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi kit was used to isolate cfDNA from 2 ml of human EDTA plasma in comparison with a competitor kit (Figure 2).

Efficient isolation of cfDNA from 2 mL human EDTA plasma

Figure 2. Efficient isolation of cfDNA from 2 ml of human EDTA plasma. cfDNA was isolated from individual EDTA plasma samples with the NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi kit and a vacuum-based kit from a competitor (Competitor Q). DNA yields were quantified by qPCR (Quantifiler Human DNA Quantification Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific on an Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System, Thermo Fisher Scientific). For each sample processed, NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi provided DNA yields that were either greater than or comparable to the yields obtained with the kit from Competitor Q.

Optimized protocol for Cell-Free DNA BCT (“Streck Tubes”)

The NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi kit provided similar yields of cfDNA from blood samples preserved with Cell-Free DNA BCT (“Streck Tubes”) and EDTA tubes, due to optimization of the protocol for the “Streck Tubes” (Figure 3).

Optimized cfDNA isolation protocol from Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT tubes

Figure 3. Optimized protocol for cfDNA isolation from Cell-Free DNA BCT (“Streck Tubes”). Blood was drawn from five independent test subjects and preserved using both Cell-Free DNA BCT (“Streck Tubes”) and EDTA tubes. cfDNA was isolated from samples preserved in both tube types using the NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi kit. cfDNA yields from EDTA tubes and “Streck Tubes” were similar. DNA yields were quantified by qPCR (Quantifiler Human DNA Quantification Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific on an Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

NucleoSpin cfDNA Midi is designed for the rapid, medium-scale preparation of highly pure cell-free DNA from up to 5 ml of blood plasma using vacuum filtration. The purification protocol involves lysis of plasma samples using Proteinase K incubation in the presence of a chaotropic salt-containing buffer. Following the initial lysis step, a binding buffer is added to the samples and the lysate is loaded onto the binding columns.

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour

NucleoSpin Tissue purification in less than 1 hour. Mouse or rat tail sections, whole tissue, or cultured cells are incubated with lysis buffer and Proteinase K—no further extraction is necessary. After spinning down the lysis mixture, the clear lysates are transferred to the columns and centrifuged to bind the DNA to the column. This is followed by removal of the cellular contaminants with the provided wash buffers, and elution of the purified genomic DNA. No alcohol precipitation is required. The resulting DNA preparation is suitable for PCR, Southern blotting, or any enzymatic reaction. Panel A. NucleoSpin 8 Tissue Kit. Panel B. NucleoSpin 96 Tissue Kit.

Vaccine development

Vaccine development

The rapid spread of severe infections by viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, HIV, H1N1, Ebola, and Zika has highlighted the critical need for the rapid development of vaccines against previously unknown pathogens to deal with pandemics such as COVID-19 effectively.

Takara Bio is proud to be on the front line in the fight to defeat the novel coronavirus by enabling innovative vaccine development. This section discusses tools and techniques to overcome the challenges faced during the vaccine development process.
