Contamination of Qiagen DNA extraction kits with Legionella DNA.
van der Zee and Crielaard recently reported the contamination of Qiagen DNA extraction columns with Legionella species (6). We have independently made this discovery and have attempted to further characterize the contaminating DNA. We used the Qiagen columns (QIAamp DNA minikit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) for the extraction of DNA from a variety of clinical samples to be tested for Legionella DNA...
متن کاملQiagen DNA extraction kits for sample preparation for legionella PCR are not suitable for diagnostic purposes.
Several reports describe the use of Qiagen columns as part of a Legionella PCR (1, 2). However, workers in two laboratories in The Netherlands have found that the Qiagen columns are contaminated with Legionella species. Nucleic acid sample preparation kits are commercially available from many different suppliers. Some of the most commonly used are the silica-based gel membrane or glass fiber fi...
متن کاملQIAGEN News - Quantitation of DNA 02/98
Materials and methods All spectrophotometric measurements were taken in a Beckman DU7400 or DU640 spectrophotometer using a reference containing the appropriate solvent but without DNA. The solvent used was 10 mM Tris·Cl, pH 8.5 unless otherwise stated. Measurements were repeated 4 times. Experiments concerning the reliability of A260 values and the effects of solvents were performed using plas...
متن کاملComparison of six commercial DNA extraction kits for recovery of cytomegalovirus DNA from spiked human specimens.
We evaluated six commercially available DNA extraction kits for their ability to recover DNA from various dilutions of cytomegalovirus (CMV) added to four different specimens: bronchoalveolar lavage, cerebral spinal fluid, plasma, and whole blood. The kits evaluated included the Puregene DNA isolation kit (PG), Generation Capture Column kit, MasterPure DNA purification kit, IsoQuick nucleic aci...
متن کاملA comparison of the efficiency of five different commercial DNA extraction kits for extraction of DNA from faecal samples
Differences in the composition of the gut microbiota have been associated with a range of diseases using culture-independent methods. Reliable extraction of nucleic acid is a key step in identifying the composition of the faecal microbiota. Five widely used commercial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction kits (QIAsymphony® Virus/Bacteria Midi Kit (kit QS), ZR Fecal DNA MiniPrep™ (kit Z), QIAa...
