성능

High analytical sensitivity with lower detection limits

The EZ1 DSP Virus Kit provides simultaneous purification of viral nucleic acids and bacterial DNA from human serum, plasma, CSF, urine, whole blood, stool, transport media, respiratory samples, and dried swab. Efficient purification of viral RNA and DNA results in sensitive analytical detection in polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as demonstrated using CE-IVD-marked artus PCR Kits for detection of CMV DNA (see table "Detection limit of CMV DNA using the EZ1 DSP Virus system and artus CMV PCR Kits") and HBV DNA (see table "Detection limit of HBV DNA using the EZ1 DSP Virus system and artus HBV PCR Kits") on a variety of real-time thermal cyclers.

The detection limit was determined by the 95 % probit value for the EZ1 DSP Virus system using quantified CMV cell-culture supernatant. The detection limit was determined by processing a dilution series of CMV. The virus was diluted in CMV-negative normal human EDTA plasma pool. Each dilution step was prepared in at least 3 independent runs with at least 6 replicates per dilution. Plasma (400 μl) was used for sample preparation with elution in 60 μl. artus CMV PCR Kits were used for detection of CMV DNA. The samples were analyzed on a LightCycler 1.2 Instrument (Roche), a Rotor-Gene 3000 (Corbett-Research), and an ABI PRISM 7000 SDS (Applied Biosystems).

Linear yields of highly pure viral DNA and RNA

Purification of viral nucleic acids provides linear yields, allowing accurate quantitative analysis for both high and low viral titers. Purified viral nucleic acids give high-performance results in sensitive diagnostic assays, even when starting material contains elevated levels of endogenous inhibitors, demonstrating the robustness of the purification procedure (see table "Robust purification procedure provides unparalleled removal of inhibitors").

Bilirubin 20 mg/dl 2.83 0.02

HBV (1000 copies/ml [log 3]) was added to panels of recalcified plasma containing elevated levels of endogenous inhibitors. A 3.4 μl aliquot of RealTime HBV Internal Control was combined with carrier RNA for each sample, and viral nucleic acids were extracted from 400 μl samples, in replicates of 5, and eluted in 90 μl elution buffer (AVE). The Abbott RealTime HBV assay  was used for detection of HBV. PCR was carried out on the Abbott m2000rt. 
Exclusion of sample carryover

High process reliability is critical for clinical laboratories that purify nucleic acids for routine testing. Lack of sample-to-sample carryover is a prerequisite for reliable results. To evaluate the risk of sample-to-sample carryover during and between runs, the EZ1 DSP Virus procedure was subjected to rigorous testing using an alternating checkerboard setup of negative and highly positive (1.0 x 108 IU/ml) parvovirus B19 DNA samples. All of the highly positive samples were detected positive using the CE-IVD-marked artus Parvo B19 RG PCR Kit. All negative samples, in the checkerboard runs and the all-negative runs, were unresponsive (see table "Cross-contamination test setup and CT values for detection of parvovirus B19 DNA"). This demonstrates that the EZ1 DSP Virus procedure provides no sample carryover under these conditions.

Nine runs were performed to evaluate the risk of cross contamination events during and between EZ1 DSP Virus procedures. The test was performed using a quantified parvovirus B19 patient sample. The viral load of positive samples used for the carryover tests was 1.0 x 108 IU/ml. For dilution of positive samples and as negative control samples, a human parvovirus B19 negative EDTA plasma pool was used. To detect sample-to-sample carryover, 2 runs were performed with an alternating checkerboard setup of negative and highly positive samples. Every third run was performed using all negative samples to monitor possible run-to-run carryover. This sample setup was repeated three times resulting in a total of nine runs. Parvovirus B19 DNA was detected and quantitated using the CE-IVD-marked artus Parvo B19 RG PCR Kit on the Rotor-Gene 3000. The analytical detection limit of the artus Parvo B19 RG PCR Kit is determined to be 0.2 IU/μl in the eluate (p = 0.05). This indicates that there is a 95 % probability that 0.2 IU/μl in the eluate will be detected. Mean CT value of all samples = 15.40 ± 0.18 (CV = 1.14%) X: Unresponsive after 45 PCR cycles.

FAQ

What do I have to do if precipitates are visible in the lysis buffer (well 1 of the reagent cartridge [RCB])?
Place the reagent cartridges (RCB) into a shaker–incubator, and incubate at 30–40°C with mild agitation for up to 2 hours. Do not use the reagent cartridges (RCB) if the precipitates do not redissolve.
FAQ ID -1568
Can I use sample preparation cartridges from other suppliers together with the EZ1 instruments or EZ2 Connect MDx?
No. The EZ1 instruments or the EZ2 Connect MDx are intended to be used only with QIAGEN sample preparation cartridges.
FAQ ID -1567
How long can eluates be stored after sample preparation using the EZ1 instruments or EZ2 Connect MDx and the EZ1 DSP Virus Kit?
For short-term storage of up to 24 hours, it is recommended to store the purified viral nucleic acids or bacterial DNA at 2–8°C. For long-term storage of more than 24 hours, it is recommended to store at –80°C for up to 12 months or –20°C for up to 12 weeks. Stability of nucleic acids might be different for the specific downstream application being used and needs to be self-validated by the user.
FAQ ID - 3897
How can I track samples during collection, sample preparation, and downstream assay?
A sample sheet template is included in the handbook. This sample sheet may be useful for recordkeeping when using the EZ1 DSP DNA Blood or the EZ1 DSP Virus procedure. This sheet can be photocopied and labeled with descriptions of the samples and details of the run.
