QIAxcel DNA High Sensitivity Kit 只能与 QIAxcel Connect 一起使用。所有其他 QIAxcel DNA Kit 与 QIAxcel Connect 或 QIAxcel Advanced Instrument 一起使用。QIAxcel DNA Accessories 兼容所有 QIAxcel DNA Kit。

Performance

轻松进行高分辨率分析

生物体基因分型、基于 PCR 的互补 DNA 文库筛查以及许多其他生物医学研究和分子生物学应用都要求对大小仅相差少量碱基对的 PCR 片段进行分辨。QIAxcel High Resolution Kit 与 QIAxcel 仪器相结合，可以分析 15 bp 到 5 kb 大小的 DNA 片段。小于 500 bp 的片段可在 3–5 bp 的分辨率下分离，与传统的高分辨率琼脂糖凝胶电泳相比，数据解读的可信度更高（见灵敏检测突变的癌症相关基因）。QIAxcel 仪器在未稀释扩增反应中的检测灵敏度为 0.1 ng/µl DNA，为较少的样本输入材料提供更可靠的结果。

QIAxcel DNA Screening Kit 非常适用于限制性内切酶消化片段的常规评估、定性单一或多重 PCR 以及其他 DNA 应用（见多重 PCR 样本的高分辨率分析）。使用凝胶卡夹进行 DNA 筛查可精简实验室工作流程，表现为 15 bp 至 5 kb 大小片段的分析时间得到尽量缩短，处理 96 个样本大约只需 1 小时。对于小于 1 kb 的片段，分辨率可达 20–50 bp。样本消耗量小于 0.1 µl，几乎可以将全部珍贵样本留给下游进一步使用。

QIAxcel DNA Fast Analysis Kit 非常适用于定性单一或多重 PCR 应用中 DNA 片段的常规评估。使用凝胶卡夹进行 DNA 筛查可精简实验室工作流程，表现为片段分析时间得到尽量缩短，对于 15 bp 至 3 kb 大小的片段，处理 12 个样本仅需 3 分钟，处理 96 个样本约需 25 分钟（见显示来自 PCR 片段分析的数据的屏幕截图）。使用 QIAxcel DNA Fast Analysis 凝胶卡夹可实现精确到 50 bp 的分辨率，而样本消耗量则小于 0.1 μl。

可以使用 QIAxcel DNA High Sensitivity Kit 分析浓度低至 5 pg/μl 的 DNA。分析 12 个样本中 15 bp – 3 kb 大小的片段约需 9 分钟。使用 QIAxcel DNA High Sensitivity 凝胶卡夹可实现 20–50 bp 的分辨率。

Principle

QIAxcel 仪器使用毛细管凝胶电泳实现基于大小的快速核酸分离（见样本分离流程）。与传统的琼脂糖凝胶电泳不同，分离是在即用型凝胶卡夹的毛细管中进行的。将样本自动装入一个单独的毛细管，然后对其施加电压。带负电荷的核酸分子通过毛细管迁移到带正电荷的末端。与琼脂糖凝胶电泳一样，低分子量分子的迁移速度快于高分子量分子。分子通过毛细管迁移时会经过一个检测器，后者检测并测量荧光信号。光电倍增管将荧光信号转换成电子数据，然后传输到计算机，利用 QIAxcel ScreenGel 软件进行进一步处理。处理后，数据将显示为电泳图或凝胶图像。

Procedure

QIAxcel DNA Kit 简化了 DNA 片段的分离和分析，并提高了用户安全性。只需几个简单的步骤：装入凝胶卡夹，填充并装载缓冲液槽，将样本载入 96 孔板或 PCR 管或联管，选择要使用的流程配置文件，然后执行。无需进行繁琐的凝胶制备和大量的用户培训，从而精简了工作流程，促进了系统与实验室日常工作的整合。开始运行后几分钟内，第一批结果就会实时显示在计算机屏幕上（见缩短了运行时间）。

FAQ

The intensity calibration procedure on the QIAxcel System and QIAxcel Advanced is performed to normalize the signal intensities across all 12 channels of the gel cartridge. This corrects for natural intensity reading variations between each capillary in the cartridge. A correction factor is determined and applied for every subsequent run performed with the cartridge.

FAQ ID -1824

The QIAxcel DNA Fast Analysis Cartridge can only be run on the QIAxcel Fast Analysis System with the BioCalculator Fast Analysis software and the grey software key.

All other QIAxcel Cartridges can only be run on the QIAxcel System with the BioCalculator software and the blue software key.

FAQ ID -1828

The concentration of the DNA marker, pUC18/HaeIII, provided in the QIAxcel DNA Kits is 5ug/ml in 1XTE buffer solution. Customers can run their own DNA size marker sample with different concentration levels using the provided Methods (i.e. M500, H500, L500 and so on).

The recommended method for all basic applications with the QIAxcel System is the M500 method. The BioCalculator software also allows customers to choose their own Sample Injection Time in the Sequence table. The M500 method provides 5KV for 20 seconds for the electro-kinetic injection of lower concentrated DNA samples. If the Injection Time is doubled or tripled (40 or 60 sec), you can expect double or triple intensities (also peak heights).

FAQ ID -1841

For the BioCalculator software, the default data folder is:

C:\Program Files\QIAGEN\QIAxcel BioCalculator\Data.

For the ScreenGel software, the default data folders are:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QIAGEN\QIAxcel\ScreenGel\Data\Experiment (for a computer with Windows XP operation system) or C:\ProgramData\QIAGEN\QIAxcel\ScreenGel\Data\Experiment\ (for a computer with Windows 7 operating system).

Alternatively, you can more conveniently access the ScreenGel experiment data folder using the menu options File\Open data directory\Experiment within the ScreenGel software.

FAQ -9008

The Gel Cartridge does not need to be recalibrated when using a new alignment marker and/or DNA size marker with the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced. Calibration is required only once, i.e. when the first cartridge is run or when the cartridge is used on a different QIAxcel system than the one it has been calibrated on, or when using a different PC than the one used to calibrate initially.

FAQ ID -1858

If the gel cartridge tips for the QIAxcel System and QIAxcel Advanced are in contact with air, the tips will dry out. There are 3 ways of preventing the tips from drying.

Store the cartridge in the instrument with the instrument in the “Park” position. The washing solution (8 ml) covered with mineral oil must be in the “Park” position of the Solution Tray.
Store the cartridge in the Cartridge Stand with enough mineral oil in the well of the Cartridge Stand to cover the capillary tips. The Cartridge Stand should only be used for short term storage, i.e. when changing cartridges during one working day.
Place the cartridge back into its packaging with the capillary tips gently inserted into the soft gel in the box.

FAQ ID -1823

The reference size marker table created by ScreenGel version 1.1 or earlier is incompatible with ScreenGel version 1.2. Re-analyze the size marker run in ScreenGel version 1.2 and create a new reference size marker table for future use.

FAQ -9009

When using the BioCalculator software, ensure the color of the software key matches the type of cartridge used. For example, the QIAxcel Fast Analysis cartridge requires the red software key, while the QIAxcel High Resolution cartridge requires the blue software key.

In addition, check that the communication between the computer and the instrument is established. Further, check that the smart key is inserted securely.

If the issue persists, contact QIAGEN Technical Services and provide the cartridge ID and lot number, which is printed on the packaging of QIAxcel cartridges.

FAQ -9004

When using the BioCalculator software, select Settings under File in the Instrument control panel window. In the new windows, click Check Filter in the new window and follow the on-screen prompts.

When using the ScreenGel software, log in to the ScreenGel software with an account with basic or advanced privilege. Select System Check under the Service environment. Select Filter Check and click Start.

Please send the filter test result to QIAGEN Technical Services for further assistance.

FAQ -9006

Incorrect storage can lead to QX alignment marker degradation. The QX alignment markers can be used for 50 runs or 3 days, whichever comes first. Opened QX alignment marker should be store at –20°C between uses.

FAQ -9003

Clogged capillaries and/or re-using the calibration marker are the most common causes of failed calibration. Perform “Removing gel from blocked capillaries”, as outlined in Appendix D in the QIAxcel DNA handbook. Use a new set of calibration marker for each new calibration procedure.

FAQ -9001

Please delete the 6 obsolete method files as outlines in the Important Note QIAxcel ScreenGel Software

FAQ -9010

When using the BioCalculator software, select Detector test under File in the Instrument control panel window. Perform the Detector test with and without a cartridge latched inside the QIAxcel. Feedback is not shown on the screen when you select the Detect test. Instead, the file named detector.asc is saved at C:\Program Files\QIAGEN\QIAxcel BioCalculator. Change the file name before performing another detector test.

Note: Older versions of BioCalculator software save the detector.asc at C:\Program Files\QIAxcel BioCalculator.

When using the ScreenGel software, log in to the ScreenGel with an account with basic or advanced privilege. Select System Check under the Service environment. Select Detector Test and click Start. The file is saved at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QIAGEN\QIAxcel\ScreenGel\Data\Troubleshooting\Troubleshooting_xxxxxxxx (current date in the format of YYYYMMDD) for a computer with Windows XP operating system or C:\ProgramData\QIAGEN\QIAxcel\ScreenGel\Data\Troubleshooting for a computer with Windows 7 operating system. Alternatively, you can perform a screen capture for the Detector test result.

Please send the Detector test results to QIAGEN Technical Services for further assistance.
