DNAready Lysis Buffer to extract the DNA from bacterial suspensions as a previous step before PCR DNAready is a new generation lysis buffer; specifically developed to quickly extract DNA from bacterial suspensions (like enrichments in Half Fraser broth or Buffered Peptone Water) allowing further amplification by real time PCR. It could be also used to extract the bacterial DNA from water environmental samples after its filtration. DNA ready is the ideal complement for Microbial SL detection systems (Salmofast®, Listerfast®, Campylofast THERMO, Cronofast, Bactoplex, Bactoplex PIF, Legiofast® ENVIRON and Legiofast® SPECIES). The recommended protocol for DNAready has been optimized to obtain a better yield with fewer steps, in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Thus, most of the PCR inhibitors that could be present in bacterial suspensions are removed without performing laborious and time-consuming silica-gel column purification steps. PROTOCOL 1. From bacterial cultures/enrichments: Spin 1 ml of the sample enrichment for 5 minutes at 8000 g. Discard the supernatant. When using Bactoplex, spin 0.9 ml of Salmonella spp. enrichment and 0.9 ml of Listeria monocytogenes enrichment in the same tube. When using Cronofast or Bactoplex PIF, it is possible to mix directly 100 µl of the enrichment with 200 µl of DNAready Lysis Buffer, homogenize pipetting or vortexing and move to the step 3 without spinning. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. From environmental samples (water): Filter the volume of water to be analyzed with 0.45 µm membranes (polycarbonate or another compound capable of DNA and protein retention). Recover the filter or the surface adhered particles aseptically (with a handle or spatula) and introduce it into a microcentrifuge tube. Resuspend the pellet or the filter with 200 µl of DNAready Lysis Buffer. Mix pipetting or vortexing until the complete dissolution of the pellet or the filter adhered particles. In some cases, a greater volume of DNAready Lysis Buffer may be needed in order to obtain a complete dissolution of the filter. Incubate 30 minutes at 56ºC. Incubate 10 minutes at 95ºC. Incubate 5 minutes at -20ºC. Proceed with the real time PCR with the required Microbial kit. Add 1 µl of the resultant extracted DNA into the corresponding tubes or plate wells with 19 µl of Reaction Mix. DNA ready inactivates most of the PCR inhibitors allowing a correct amplification reaction. In some samples, like enrichments in Half Fraser to detect Listeria monocytogenes, it is strongly recommended to dilute the sample 10 or 100-fold before the real time PCR. * It is not recommended to mix the final DNA extract from enrichments with a high content of particles in suspension to avoid the resuspension of materials which could inhibit of the amplification reaction.

However, some food samples may be problematic. If amplification of neither the detector nor the internal amplification control is detected, even if diluting the sample, repeat the DNA extraction with a silica-gel column purification method. DNAready is not recommended to extract DNA from bacteria without performing a previous enrichment step. RECOMMENDATIONS The use of filter stomacher bags may help to avoid, or at least reduce, the presence of inhibitory particles in case of enrichments with great abundance of suspension particles. Food matrices with a high fat content or with antimicrobial agents are often problematic since they interfere in the enrichment of the bacteria to detect. In these situations it could be useful to increase the growing time, perform a second selective enrichment or, in the specific case of high-fat samples, carry out the enrichment with Tween 80 at 10%. STORAGE Store at 4ºC or at -20ºC. Avoid frequent freeze/thaw cycles. Microbial SL - PCiT UdG, Edifici J Casademont E - Pic de Peguera 15 - 17003 Girona (Spain) phone: +34 972 183 236
