Identification of a class IV SNP.|Precise real-time PCR analysis.|Highly sensitive detection of methylated DNA.|Cross-section of the Rotor-Gene Q.|Flexible formats.|
A human A/T SNP in the AHRR7 gene was analyzed using genomic DNA from wild-type (blue), homozygous mutant (green), and heterozygous (red) samples. Experiments were performed using the Type-it HRM PCR Kit and a Rotor-Gene Q cycler with an HRM channel. Data analysis was performed with the unsupervised mode of Rotor-Gene ScreenClust HRM Software. A/T polymorphisms (class IV SNPs) are most difficult to discriminate due to minute differences between homozygote alleles (in this example, less than 0.1°C). [A] HRM raw data, [B] cluster plot. All pseudo-unknowns were correctly clustered according to genotype.|Twofold dilutions of human genomic DNA from 30 ng (10,000 copies) to 0.06 ng (20 copies) were used as a template in real-time PCR. Five replicate reactions were run for each dilution using a self-designed TaqMan® assay for IL1R2 and the Rotor-Gene Probe PCR kit on the Rotor-Gene Q. The average difference in the CT values between all dilutions was 1.07 cycles. Human genomic DNA was used as template in 72 replicate real-time PCRs using a self-designed TaqMan® assay for BCL2 on the Rotor-Gene Q without ROX normalization. The average CT value was 24.94 with a standard deviation of only 0.05, equivalent to a CV of 0.2%.
 
|Mixtures of methylated and unmethylated DNA (EpiTect Control DNA) of varying ratios were used as template. A CpG island from the promoter region of the APC gene (adenomatosis polyposis coli) was amplified and the degree of methylation was determined by HRM methylation analysis on the Rotor-Gene Q using the EpiTect HRM PCR Kit. [A] A standard normalized melt curve and a [B] difference plot normalized to the 50% methylated sample are shown.|Heating/cooling is achieved by rapid airflow in the reaction chamber. Tubes spin past the excitation/detection optics every 150 milliseconds enabling high-speed data capture. Up to 6 separate LED light sources can be used in combination with 6 different detection filters and a highly sensitive photomultiplier detector.|The Rotor-Gene Q supports multiple formats to suit a range of needs. Choose between tubes or Rotor-Discs, which offer accelerated setup and high throughput. Change the format in seconds by simply switching the snap-fit metal rotor that holds your plasticware format of choice.|
Performance

Principle
遠心エアコントロール方式による卓越した性能

遠心エアコントロール方式を採用した Rotor-Gene Q は、市販されているこれまでのリアルタイムPCR装置の中で、最も精密性と機能性に富んでいます(図 "Rotor-Gene Q の断面図")。遠心エアコントロール方式では、サンプルローターが常に遠心されていることにより、反応サンプル間の温度均一性を高く保持します(±0.02 ℃)。どのサンプルも同様に均一に検出全てのサンプルは回転しながら光源/検出器間の光路上を通過し、光源/サンプル/検出器の一定した短い光学的距離でその蛍光シグナルを迅速に得ることができます。このように温度および光学的に均一であるため、感度の高い正確かつ迅速なリアルタイムPCR解析結果が得られ(図 "正確なリアルタイムPCR 解析")、またサンプル間のばらつきやエッジ効果をなくします。これらは、従来のブロックベースの機器では、ブロック全体の温度勾配や複数の複雑な光経路のため避けられない問題でした。

遠心エアコントロール方式の特長:

チューブ間のばらつきは ±0.02℃

均一な検出により、ROX のようなリファレンス色素が不要

高速な加熱・冷却機構によるランニング時間の短縮

高い感度と再現性

広い光源領域で様々なアプリケーションを実現

Rotor-Gene Q は、SYBR® Green のようなインターカレーター色素や、加水分解プローブ(TaqMan プローブ)、ハイブリダイゼーションプローブ(FRET プローブ)、Scorpion プローブ、その他幅広い蛍光波長の検出に最適です。搭載波長は、UVから赤外波長まで、最高6 チャンネルを搭載しています。さらに、ソフトウェア上での簡単な設定により、それぞれの励起光源/検出フィルターの組み合わせをカスタムで作製できるので、特殊な波長の色素にもRotor-Gene Q は対応可能です。

HRM 解析によるPCR 産物の識別

High Resolution Melt(HRM)解析とは、融解曲線解析を極めて精度の高い温度分解能を利用して、わずかなTm 値の差を検出することができる技術です。HRM法は、二本鎖PCR産物を解離(融解)性に基づいて解析します。古典的な融解曲線解析に類似していますが、幅広いアプリケーション用にさらに多くの情報が得られます。PCR産物は、その塩基組成(GC 含量)、配列、長さなどに依存した産物特有の解離温度(Tm 値)を有します。Rotor-Gene Q の温度分解能は±0.02 ℃であるため、PCR 産物中に1塩基の違いがあっても、高感度に検出することができます。Rotor-Gene Q の遠心エアコントロール方式による卓越した温度均一性と光学的均一性はHRM に最適です。

Rotor-Gene Q のHRM 機能の特長:

専用のHRM 励起チャンネルを搭載

±0.02 ℃の超高温度分解能による厳密な識別

高速データ収集

自動ジェノタイピング機能を搭載したソフトウェア

最小限のメンテナンスで最大の簡便さ

Rotor-Gene Q は、日常のメンテナンスが必要なく、使いやすい設計になっています。そのため、装置本体のメンテナンスにかける時間を低減し、研究に集中することが可能です。

Rotor-Gene Q の特長:

非常に安定したLED使用のため、高価なランプやレーザーの交換が不要で、光源性能が徐々に低下することが少ない

設置時や機器移動時に必要とされる光学的補正は不要

ブロック型のような清掃が不要

回転により反応中の結露や気泡が発生しない

小さくて軽い装置なので使いやすく、ラボのどこにでも設置可能

Procedure
スループットに応じて変更できる多様なフォーマット

Rotor-Gene Q は多様なニーズに対応するため、様々なPCR チューブフォーマットを使用できます(図 "多様なフォーマット")。チューブを搭載するローターを取り替えるだけでフォーマットをわずか数秒で変更できます。よりスループットの高い実験系には、Rotor-Disc が使用できます。Rotor-Disc は、円周上にサンプルウェルが配置された円形プレートです。Rotor-Disc 100を用いることで、96サンプルプレート処理と同等のスループットを実現することができ、残りの4ウェルはコントロール反応などに使用することができます。余ったウェルは、追加の反応や追加コントロールに便利に使用することができます。72ウェルのRotor-Disc 72 もあります。Rotor-Disc は、Rotor-Disc Heat Sealer を用いてプラスチックフィルムで簡単かつ迅速にシールできます。Rotor-Disc を使用する反応で必要なものは全て Rotor-Disc 100 Starter Kit あるいはRotor-Disc 72 Starter Kit に入っています。

マニュアルで反応セットアップを行なうことも、QIAGENの自動化ソリューションであるQIAgiliyを利用して迅速かつ高精度のPCRセットアップを行なうこともできます。また、QIAsymphony ASは、日常的にルーチンのPCRテストを行なうラボに最適です。どちらの装置もRotor-Gene フォーマットの自動反応セットアップを行なうことができ、サンプルリストの直接転送が可能で、リアルタイムPCRマスターミックス用の検証済みプロトコールが付属しています。

装置の定期的なバリデーションも実施可能

検査機関や診断を目的とした研究施設では、使用しているサーマルサイクラーの温度精度のバリデーションを定期的に実施することを求められる場合があります。Rotor-Gene Q では、温度精度の自動キャリブレーションを行なう専用ローター"Rotor-Disc OTV(Optical Temperature Verification)Kit"をセットしてランニングするだけで、自動的に装置の温度キャリブレーションを実施することができます。全操作は、わずか数分なので、ほかの装置のようなサービスエンジニアの出向も要請する必要もなく、費用対効果も高く効率的です。
