DIAGENODE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS REAL-TIME PCR USER MANUAL<br />

CAUTION<br />

<strong>Diagenode</strong> commercializes a qualitative extraction and/or inhibition control. It is the responsible<br />

of the user to optimize the extraction procedure according to the result obtained for this<br />

extraction and/or inhibition control in order to get an appropriate result.<br />

• Virus control extraction must be manipulated using a safety cabinet for a manual extraction<br />

procedure or in a specific area for automated extraction procedures; as suggested by the<br />

manufacturer.<br />

Contamination<br />

• Perform nucleic acid release, isolation and real time amplification in separate laboratory<br />

areas.<br />

• Keep all tubes and vials closed when not in use.<br />

• The PCR laboratory (safety cabinet, DNA/RNA extraction platform, bench coat, etc.) must<br />

be cleaned after each PCR experiment with appropriate solutions.<br />

• The contaminated kits must be thrown in a specific waste bin for biological substances.<br />

• The kit should not be used by somebody displaying symptoms of the disease being detected<br />

by this kit.<br />

• The positive and negative PCR control must be performed with each reaction of PCR.<br />

• Gloves must be worn.<br />

• Aerosol resistant tips must be used for all PCR mixtures.<br />

• Tubes must be harvested before opening.<br />

• Do not pipette any of the materials by mouth. Do not smoke, eat or drink in areas which<br />

specimens or kit reagents are handled.<br />

• The experiment should not be carried out during pregnancy due to risks to the newborn<br />

baby.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Storage of the kit at room temperature can lead to the degradation of the primers / probes /<br />

positive control. This will lead to a decreased sensitivity and we would strongly advise a new kit.<br />

Material Required, Not Provided<br />

• Pipettes<br />

• Sterile pipette tips with filters<br />

• Powder-free gloves<br />

• Vortex mixer<br />

• Desktop centrifuge<br />

• RNase/Dnase-free microcentrifuge tubes (1,5 and/or 2 ml)<br />

• RNase/DNase free water<br />

• DNA isolation kit (see point II. Sample Extraction/DNA Isolation)<br />

• Consumables and accessories (reaction tubes, microcentrifuge, reaction plates,<br />

adhesive seal) for an ABI / Roche / Biorad / Qiagen / Stratagene or Cepheid system<br />
