Operation Steps

HMD3602/HMD3612 automatic extraction

1. Unseal: take out the deep-hole plate from the packaging box, balance to room temperature, carefully tear off the sealing film, if there is liquid adhesion to the deep-hole plate sealing film and tube wall, throw the liquid to the bottom and then unseal.

2. Add sample: Add 200 μL sample to column 1/7 (HMD3602) or plate 1 (HMD3612), one sample for each well position. Note: please add sample within 20 minutes after opening.

3. Load in machine: set extraction procedures according to supplemental table. Put the deep-hole plate into the nucleic acid extraction instrument, insert the magnetic rod sleeve into the corresponding slot, and start the program. After the procedure was completed, the eluent was transferred to a centrifuge tube and the product was stored at -80℃. Discard waste according to standard procedures.

HMD3502 manual extraction

1. Add 200 μL samples and 450 μL lysis buffer into a 1.5 mL centrifugation tube, mix them upside down, and incubate at 55℃ for 5 minutes.

2. Add 200µL magnetic beads, rotate and incubate at room temperature on a rotating blender for 10 minutes.

3. Place the mixture containing the sample on the magnetic rack and let stand for 2 minutes (or until the lysis buffer is colorless and transparent). Suck out liquid phase and discard. Note: If there are magnetic beads on the cover of the centrifugation tube, the magnetic beads can be washed off by reversing the centrifugation tube with the magnetic rack 3-4 times during the standing process.

4. Remove the magnetic rack and add 500 µL wash buffer 1. Mix upside down until the beads are fully suspended or blow the beads 3-4 times with a pipette.

5. Place the centrifugal tube on the magnetic rack, stand for 1 minute and discard the supernatant.

6. Remove the magnetic rack, add 700 µL wash buffer 2, and re-suspend the magnetic beads.

7. Place the centrifugation tube on the magnetic rack, stand for 1 minute and discard the supernatant.

8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7. Note: Try to ensure that the residual liquid in the centrifugation tube is completely removed (including the residual liquid on the cover of the centrifugation tube).

9. Keep the centrifugation tube on the magnetic rack, open the cover and let stand at room temperature to dry for 5 minutes.

10. Remove the magnetic rack, add 50µL eluent, and re-suspend the magnetic beads. Incubate at 55℃ for 5 min, and gently flick the centrifugation tube 2-3 times during the incubation period to separate the magnetic beads Scattered.

11. Place the centrifugation tube on the magnetic rack and let stand for 2 minutes. Transfer the supernatant containing elution nucleic acid into the new centrifugation tube. Note: If there is liquid attached to the wall of the centrifugation tube, please immediately centrifugation before magnetic suction operation.

12. Discard the experimental waste liquid as required, and store the purified nucleic acid samples in appropriate conditions or conduct the next experiment.

2. Load in machine: set extraction procedures in accordance with supplemental table. Put the deep-hole plate into the nucleic acid extraction instrument, insert the magnetic rod sleeve into the correspondingslot, and start the program. After the procedure was completed, the eluent in well 6 or 12 was transferred to a centrifuge tube and the product was stored at -80℃. Discard waste according to standard procedures.

Limitations of test methods

Automatic extraction of this product needs to be used together with automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument. Manual extraction should be used together with magnetic rack.

Precautions

1. This product is only for in vitro diagnostic use, not for human or animal internal and external use.

2. The extracted nucleic acid should be used for testing as soon as possible. If it is not tested immediately, the nucleic acid should be removed from the deep hole plate, placed in a container without nuclease, and stored at -20℃.

3. During the operation, please wear disposable gloves, disposable masks and lab coats. Nuclease-free consumables are used to minimize RNase contamination. The lysis buffer and Wash buffer 1 contain guanidine isothiocyanate or guanidine hydrochloride, which will cause corrosion to skin and mucous membrane, If it is not carefully exposed to eyes, Please rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

4. Do not mix waste liquid with bleach or acidic solution to avoid toxic volatile substances.

3. Extraction yield: Nucleic acid purification for 100 μL~400 μL liquid sample, eluent yield is not less than 42 μL.

4. Nucleic acid recovery rate: nucleic acid purification is performed on the calibrated DNA samples, and the recovery rate is no less than 90%.

5. Purity of nucleic acid: Nucleic acid purification was carried out on the calibrated DNA sample, and the OD260/OD280 product was between 1.7 – 2.0.

6. In-batch precision: Ct value is obtained by amplification of extract using calibrated reference and fluorescent PCR reagent specified by the enterprise, with a repeatability CV of no more than 5%.

7. The purified nucleic acid can be detected by PCR and other molecular biology.

Eg： Extract 200μL with a density of 5×103 IU/mL COVID-19 pseudovirus throat swab sample, test with a COVID-19 detection kit. After 10 parallel experiments, results show that the detection rate is 100% and the reproducibility of Ct value is good (Figure 1). RT-qPCR detection is performed on the extracted products from pharyngeal swabs of different concentrations of COVID-19 pseudovirus, and the results show that the extraction ability of samples of different concentrations of COVID-19(5×101 IU/mL，5×102 IU/mL， 5×103 IU/mL，5×104 IU/mL，5×105 IU/mL) is good and the differentiation degree is obvious (Figure 2). The logarithm of Ct value of RT-qPCR and the number of pseudovirus is analyzed by linear regression. The results showed well linearity (Figure 3)
