OVERVIEW

The foodproof® StarPrep® Two 8-Strip Kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from gram-positive bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes for direct use in PCR. Up to 96 samples can be processed in parallel. The kit generates PCR template DNA from up to 800 µL of enrichment culture. The extracted DNA can be used directly in any PCR application.
The StarPrep Two Lysis Buffer eliminates the need for hazardous organic extractions or chaotropic agents. The entire DNA preparation can be performed in a single tube, minimizing handling steps and exposure to hazardous material. The reduced number of handling steps saves time and eliminating DNA- containing extract transfer steps minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.

General Information

  • Number of Reactions
    The kit is designed for 480 reactions.

  • Storage Conditions
    Store at 15 to 25 °C.
    The components of the foodproof StarPrep Two 8-Strip Kit are guaranteed to be stable through the expiration date printed on the label.

Applicability
The lysis buffer can be used to prepare DNA from up to 800 µL sample. The lysis buffer is optimized for the preparation of various types of sample material. The quality of the DNA obtained with the lysis buffer is suitable for any PCR application.

Workflows
Procedure A.1: STANDARD describes the DNA extraction from up to 800 µL enrichment culture using 8-strip tubes and multichannel pipettes. This procedures is a more sensitive protocol.
The A.2: VIAFLO96 protocol includes the VIAFLO96 as a pipetting device, which enables the transfer of 96 samples in a single step.
In the B: RAPID protocol, 100 µL sample is added directly to the pre-aliquoted lysis buffer, without an initial centrifugation step, saving time and effort.

EXTRACTION PROCEDURE A.1: STANDARD
This protocol is intended for extracts that will be used in combination with foodproof kits.

  1. SHAKE SAMPLE
    Shake enrichment culture gently and let suspension settle for 5 to 10 min.

  2. REMOVE CAPS
    Remove and discard the 8-cap strips from the 8-tube strips.
    To minimize the contamination risk, use the decapper 8-strip tool.

  3. ADD SAMPLE
    Transfer up to 800 µL sample (enrichment culture supernatant) to the 8-tube strips.

  4. SEAL TUBES
    Seal the tubes with sterile cap strips.

  5. CENTRIFUGE RACK
    10 min at 5,400 x g (or 25 min at 2,000 x g).
    Make sure the rack is not sealed with rack lid during centrifugation.
    Note: Time and g-force depend on the centrifuge (please see 2.1. Required Material for more information). Set the centrifuge acceleration to maximum speed and the brake to medium. If necessary, centrifugation forces should be calculated according to the centrifuge manual used.

  6. REMOVE CAPS
    Remove and discard the 8-cap strips from the 8-tube strips.
    To minimize the contamination risk, use the decapper 8-strip tool.

  7. REMOVE SUPERNATANT
    Remove up to 650 µL supernatant carefully with a multichannel pipette immediately after centrifugation, discard and inactivate appropriately.
    150 µL has to remain in the tube.
    Take care that the tips of the pipette in the reaction tubes are not touching the pellets.

  8. PREPARE LYSIS BUFFER
    Transfer required lysis buffer to a sterile reservoir.
    Prepare 300 µL lysis buffer per sample plus 1 mL lysis buffer as dead volume.
    Note : Shake the bottle with lysis buffer gently in a short time interval to avoid sedimentation of ingredients.hygiena-KIT230186-Star-Prep-Two-8
-Strip-Kit- \(17\)

  9. ADD LYSIS BUFFER AND MIX
    Pipette lysis buffer up and down 5 to 10 times in reservoir before using it to avoid sedimentation of ingredients.
    Transfer 300 µL lysis buffer with a multichannel pipette to each tube. Resuspend pellets by pipetting up and down 5 to 10 times.
    Note : For optimal DNA isolation efficiency, pellet has to be completely resuspended.

  10. SEAL TUBES
    Seal the tubes tightly with new sterile cap strips.

  11. INSTALL ADAPTER SET
    Place the rack without rack lid in the TissueLyser Adapter Set.
    Note : Split the tube strips into 2 groups and place them into two tube racks to prepare appropriate counterweights for disruption. Place the tube strips into the racks in an even and balanced manner. Make sure each rack contains at least two strips placed in the outermost positions (row 1 and 12 of the rack). If you prepare only a few samples (less than 4 strips), it is necessary to use additional tube strips prefilled with 450 µL water to balance it out.hygiena-KIT230186-Star-Prep-Two-8-Strip-Kit-
\(17\)

  12. MECHANICAL DISRUPTION
    Place the 2 adapters in the cell disruption unit and run mechanical disruption. MPS-1: 8 min at 2,100 rpm.
    Mixer Mill 400: 8 min at 30 Hz.
    The efficiency of disruption depends on the mechanical cell disruption unit.

  13. INCUBATE
    Remove tube rack bottom and install incubation frame.
    Incubate rack with tube stripes 5 min at 100 °C in the TH 21 Heating Block for 8-tube strips.
    Weigh caps down with the lid weight.
    Note : To avoid removing and reinstalling the bottom, it is possible to place tube strips in an empty micro tube rack (with rack bottom removed).

  14. CHILL
    Carefully remove the rack with the tube strips together with the lid weight from the heating unit and let it cool 3 – 5 min at room temperature.
    To avoid opening of caps, do not remove the lid weight until the strips have cooled down.

  15. CENTRIFUGE RACK
    Reinstall tube rack bottom.
    Centrifuge 5 min at 5,400 x g (or 10 min at 2,000 x g).
    Make sure the rack is not sealed with rack lid during centrifugation.
    Note : Time and g-force depend on the centrifuge (please see 2.1 Required Material for more information). Set the centrifuge acceleration to maximum speed and the brake to medium. If necessary, centrifugation forces should be calculated according to the centrifuge manual used.hygiena-KIT230186-Star-
Prep-Two-8-Strip-Kit- \(20\)

SUPERNATANT FOR DETECTION
Use 5 µL supernatant in combination with foodproof PCR Kits.

Note: Strictly avoid transferring fractions of the sediment to the PCR reaction because this might cause PCR inhibition.

For later analysis, store DNA at -15 to -25 °C.
After thawing, mix briefly by vortexing and centrifuge at 2,000 × g for 10 min. Note: The sample is not purified. Proteins, RNA and other materials remain in the sample. Long-term storage or archival of prepared DNA samples is not recommended.

SUPERNATANT FOR DETECTION
Use 5 µL extract for the respective foodproof PCR Kit/LyoKit.

Note: The sample is not purified. Proteins, RNA and other materials remain in the sample. Long-term storage or archiving of prepared DNA samples is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Recommendation
Extract inhibits PCR. Enrichment culture or sample contains too many PCR
inhibitors.
  • Perform a subcultivation, e.g., 1:10 dilution in fresh enrichment broth.
  • Repeat DNA extraction with a reduced sample volume.

DNA extract contains too many PCR inhibitors.| Dilute DNA extract, e.g., 1:10, or reduce the amount of extracted DNA.
Some of the centrifugation pellet transferred over to the PCR.|

  • Always centrifuge the DNA sample before performing PCR.
  • Do not allow the filter tip to contact the pellet.

Supernatants are not completely removed.| Remove supernatants completely (e.g., after Reagent D treatment).
Low DNA yield.| Improper storage of kit components.| Store kit reagents at 15 to 25 °C.
Enrichment culture contains substances that reduce the DNA extraction efficiency.| Perform a subcultivation or dilution, e.g., 1:10 in fresh enrichment broth.
Sample contains substances that reduce the DNA extraction efficiency.| Reduce the sample volume.
Not enough target organisms in enrichment culture.| Prolong the incubation period.
Pellet resuspension incomplete.| Improve resuspension by prolonged pipetting or vortexing.
Suboptimal reaction conditions.| Ensure proper heating conditions.

Verify correct temperature of the heating block with a  thermometer.

Lid of the reaction tube opens during or after heating.| Reaction tube not firmly closed or not enough weight exerted on the caps of the tube strips.| Ensure that all reaction tubes are firmly closed before heating.

Weigh the caps down during heating and do not remove the weight until the tubes have cooled down.
