OVERVIEW The foodproof® StarPrep Three Kit is designed for the rapid preparation of DNA from gramnegative bacteria like Enterobacteriaceae for direct use in PCR. In less than 30 minutes, preparation with this lysis buffer yields PCR template DNA from enrichment cultures. The extracted DNA can be used directly in any PCR application. The StarPrep Three Lysis Buffer eliminates the need for hazardous organic extractions or chaotropic agents. The entire DNA preparation can be performed in a single tube, minimizing handling steps and exposure to hazardous material. The reduced number of handling steps saves time. Transfer steps of DNA-containing extracts are not necessary, thus cross-contamination risks are minimized. 1.1. General Information Number of Reactions The kit is designed for 96 reactions (KIT230187) or 480 reactions (KIT230188). Storage Conditions Store at 15 to 25 °C. The components of the foodproof StarPrep Three Kit are guaranteed to be stable through the expiration date printed on the label. 1.2. Applicability The lysis buffer is optimized for the preparation of enrichment cultures of various types of sample material, including infant formula with and without probiotics, ingredients and production environment samples. The sample volume varies depending on which matrix is being tested. For very cloudy supernatants, or samples containing inhibitors, a reduction of the sample volume may enhance the DNA isolation efficiency. The quality of the DNA obtained with the lysis buffer is suitable for any PCR application. 4 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella OVERVIEW 1.3.

Precautions and Preparations Follow all universal safety precautions governing work with biohazardous materials, e.g., wear lab coats and gloves at all times. Properly dispose of all contaminated materials, decontaminate work surfaces, and use a biosafety cabinet whenever aerosols might be generated. For more information, please refer to the appropriate safety data sheet (SDS). The SDS is available online at www.hygiena.com. Always use filter tips in order to avoid cross-contamination. Mix thoroughly while pipetting the buffer for sample preparation. It is not recommended to use more than 96 reactions per 50 mL bottle. The container must retain some of the reagent. Set the heating unit to 95 to 100 °C. Thaw the Reagent D prior to use. Avoid more than three (3) freeze-thaw cycles. If necessary, aliquots can be prepared and stored according to the Reagent D manual. Avoid extended exposure to light. 2.3. Workflows The following procedures describe the DNA isolation from enrichment cultures. Depending on sample size, two protocols for small sample quantities (Procedure A: Standard) and high sample quantities (Procedure B: High Throughput) are available. Both protocols include a live/dead discrimination step using Reagent D. The High-Throughput Extraction procedure uses 8-strip tubes and multichannel pipettes are recommended, when more than 16 samples are processed. 11 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 2.3.1. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE A: STANDARD This protocol is intended for extracts that will be used in combination with foodproof kits, including Enterobacteriaceae in combination with other parameter, e.g., Salmonella or Cronobacter. A step for live and dead cell differentiation with Reagent D is included. 1. SHAKE SAMPLE Shake enrichment culture gently and let the suspension settle for 5 to 10 min. 2. ADD REAGENT D Transfer 300 µL Reagent D to a transparent 1.5 mL reaction tube. Note: Proceed immediately with the following steps of the protocol. Avoid extended exposure to light. 3. ADD SAMPLE Transfer 100 µL sample (enrichment culture supernatant) to the reaction tube. Mix thoroughly by pipetting up and down. Note: For very cloudy supernatants, a reduction of the sample volume (e.g., 50 µL) might enhance the DNA isolation efficiency. 4. D-LIGHT TREATMENT Incubate for 5 min at room temperature in the D-Light in the dark. Incubate for 5 min at room temperature in the D-Light with light exposure. 5. CENTRIFUGE 5 min at 8,000 x g. Note: If the enrichment cultures are totally clear, centrifugation at > 13,000 x g is recommended. 12 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 6. REMOVE SUPERNATANT Discard liquid with a pipette immediately after centrifugation and inactivate appropriately. Note: Take care that the tip of the pipette is on the opposite side of the pellet during pipetting. 7. ADD LYSIS BUFFER Transfer 200 µL lysis buffer to the sample tube and resuspend the pellet by vortexing or by pipetting gently up and down. Note: For optimal DNA isolation efficiency, pellet has to be completely resuspended. Use a magnetic stirrer (low speed) or briefly shake the bottle gently before pipetting the lysis buffer to avoid sedimentation of ingredients. 8. INCUBATE 10 min at 95 to 100 °C in a heating unit. Carefully remove the reaction tube from the heating unit and allow the tube to sit for 1 min at 15 to 25 °C. 9. MIX Vortex for 2 s. 10. CENTRIFUGE 2 min at 13,000 x g. Note: If necessary, centrifugation forces should be calculated according to the respective centrifuge user manual. SUPERNATANT FOR DETECTION Use extract for the foodproof PCR kits. Strictly avoid transferring fractions of the sediment to the PCR reaction, because this might cause PCR inhibition. For later analysis, store DNA at -15 to -25 °C. After thawing, mix briefly by vortexing and centrifuge at 13,000 × g for 2 min. 13 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 2.3.2. EXTRACTION PROCEDURE B: HIGH THROUGHPUT This high-throughput protocol is recommended for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae, or Enterobacteriaceae in combination with other parameters, e.g., Salmonella or Cronobacter. A step for live and dead cell differentiation with Reagent D is included. 1. SHAKE SAMPLE Shake enrichment culture gently and let suspension settle for 5 to 10 min. 2. ADD SAMPLE Transfer 100 µL sample (enrichment culture supernatant) to the 96 deep well plate. 3. PREPARE REAGENT D Transfer an adequate volume of Reagent D in a sterile reservoir: 300 µL per sample plus 1 mL as dead volume. Note: The lights in the clean bench must be switched off. Proceed immediately with the following steps of the protocol. Avoid extended exposure to light. 4. ADD REAGENT D AND MIX Using a multichannel pipette, transfer 300 µL Reagent D to each well of the deep well plate. Resuspend pellets by pipetting up and down 5 times. Note: For optimal DNA isolation efficiency, pellet has to be completely resuspended. For uptake of Reagent D and mix, pipet with maximum speed of the automatic pipette. Proceed immediately with the following steps of the protocol. Avoid extended exposure to light. 5. D-LIGHT TREATMENT Place the 96 deep well plate in the D-Light unit. Incubate first in the dark for 5 min and subsequently expose to light for 5 min at room temperature in the D-Light unit. 14 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 6. TRANSFER VOLUME First, resuspend 5 times and then transfer the whole volume (400 µL) with a multichannel pipette from the 96 deep well plate to 8-tube strips. 7. SEAL TUBES Seal the 8-tube strips tightly with sterile cap strips. 8. CENTRIFUGE 10 min at 5,400 x g (or 25 min at 2,000 x g). Make sure the rack is not sealed with rack lid during centrifugation. Note: Time and g-force depend on the centrifuge (please see 2.1. Required Material for more information). Set the centrifuge acceleration to maximum speed and the brake to medium. If necessary, centrifugation forces should be calculated according to the respective centrifuge user manual. 9. REMOVE CAPS Remove and discard the 8-cap strips from the 8-tube strips. To minimize the contamination risk, use the decapper 8-strip tool. 10. REMOVE SUPERNATANT Immediately after centrifugation, remove supernatant carefully with a multichannel pipette, discard liquid and inactivate appropriately. Take care that the tips of the pipette are not touching the pellets in the reaction tubes. 11. PREPARE LYSIS BUFFER Transfer required lysis buffer to a sterile reservoir. 200 µL lysis buffer per sample plus 1 mL lysis buffer as dead volume. Note: Use a magnetic stirrer (low speed) or shake the bottle with lysis buffer gently in a short time interval to avoid sedimentation of ingredients. 15 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 12. ADD LYSIS BUFFER AND MIX Pipet lysis buffer up and down 5 to 10 times in reservoir before using it to avoid sedimentation of ingredients. Transfer 200 µL lysis buffer with a multichannel pipette to each tube. Resuspend pellets by pipetting up and down 5 to 10 times. Note: For optimal DNA isolation efficiency, pellet has to be completely resuspended. 13. SEAL TUBES Seal the tubes tightly with new sterile cap strips. 14. INCUBATE Remove tube rack bottom and install incubation frame. Incubate rack with tube stripes 10 - 15 min at 100 °C in TH 21 Heating Block for 8-tube strips. Weight caps down with the lid weight. Note: To avoid removing and reinstalling the bottom, tube strips can be placed in an empty microcentrifuge tube rack (with rack bottom removed). 15. CHILL Carefully remove the rack with the tube strips together with the lid weight from the heating unit and let it cool 3 - 5 min at room temperature. To avoid opening of caps, do not remove the lid weight until the strips have cooled down. 16. CENTRIFUGE Reinstall tube rack bottom. Centrifuge 5 min at 5,400 x g (or 10 min at 2,000 x g). Make sure the rack is not sealed with rack lid during centrifugation. SUPERNATANT FOR DETECTION Use up to 25 µL of the extract for the respective foodproof PCR Kits. Note: Strictly avoid transferring fractions of the sediment to the PCR reaction because this might cause PCR inhibition. For later analysis, store DNA at -15 to -25 °C. After thawing, mix briefly by vortexing and centrifuge at 2,000 × g for 10 min. Note: The sample is not purified. Proteins, RNA, and other materials remain in the sample. Long-term storage or archival of prepared DNA samples is not recommended. 16 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella TROUBLESHOOTING 2.4. Troubleshooting Problem Extract inhibits PCR Possible Cause Enrichment culture or sample contains too many PCR inhibitors. DNA extract contains too many PCR inhibitors. Some of the centrifugation pellet transferred over to the PCR. Low DNA yield Supernatants are not completely removed. Improper storage of kit components. Enrichment culture contains substances that reduce the DNA extraction efficiency. Sample contains substances that reduce the DNA extraction efficiency. Not enough target organisms in enrichment culture. Pellet resuspension incomplete. Suboptimal reaction conditions. Lid of the reaction tube opens during or after heating Reaction tube not firmly closed or not enough weight exerted on the caps of the tube strips. Recommendation Perform a subcultivation, e.g., 1:10 dilution in fresh enrichment broth. Repeat DNA extraction with a reduced sample volume. For very cloudy supernatants, a reduction of the sample volume might enhance DNA isolation efficiency. Dilute DNA extract, e.g., 1:10, or reduce the amount of extracted DNA, e.g., for LyoKits 5 µL + 20 µL PCRgrade H2O instead of 25 µL. Always centrifuge the DNA sample before performing PCR. Use the top of the supernatant as a PCR template. Do not allow the filter tip to make contact with the pellet. Remove supernatants completely. Store kit reagents at 15 to 25 °C. Perform a subcultivation or dilution, e.g., 1:10 in fresh enrichment broth. Reduce the sample volume. Important note: this will also reduce sensitivity. Prolong the incubation phase. Improve resuspension by prolonged pipetting or vortexing. Ensure proper heating conditions. Verify correct temperature of the heating block with a thermometer. Ensure that all reaction tubes are firmly closed before heating. Weigh the caps down during heating and do not remove the weight until the tubes have cooled down. 17 KIT230187 /88 - StarPrep® Three Kit Eb plus Salmonella INSTRUCTIONS 2.5.
