Setting Up the Applied Biosystems 3730/3730xl and 3130xl DNA Analyzers for SNPlex System Experiments

Supported Configuration

The protocols described in this QRC are developed for 3730/3730xl and 3130xl instruments running Data Collection Software v2.0 or higher and GeneMapper® Software v4.0 or higher.

Checklist

Sample Plate Layout ExamplesThe table on pages 3 and 4 illustrates examples of sample layouts for 384-well and 96-well plates. The setups assume that there are four probe pools per 384-well plate and one probe pool per 96-well plate. The number of gDNA samples, controls, NTCs, and allelic ladders differs between 96-capillary, 48-capillary, and 16-capillary instruments.

Task Description

Have you installed the files required by the Data Collection Software?a

a These instructions apply to Data Collection v2.0 only. Upon upgrading to Data Collection software v3.0, the module (HTSNP36_POP7_V3), dye set, and prebatch file are installed automatically.

Install Prebatch.txt, HTSNP36_POP7_V2.xml, and Dye Set S (S.zip). The files are available on the SNPlex™ System 48-plex Support Files CD (PN 4352129).

Have you created a SNPlex System Instrument Protocol?

Create an instrument protocol that associates the appropriate run module with Dye Set S:

• HTSNP36_POP7_V2• HTSNP36_POP7_V3• HTSNP50_POP7

Have you upgraded GeneMapper software to v4.0 and installed the parameter files required by the GeneMapper Software?

Upgrade the GeneMapper software and install the parameter files as explained in the GeneMapper® Software v4.0 Installation Guide (PN 4363080). The files are available on the GeneMapper software v4.0 installation CD or as a download from www.appliedbiosystems.com.

Have you preconditioned the capillary array?b

b Preconditioning applies to new arrays only.

Fill the array with diluted Array Conditioning Buffer, incubate for 30 min, then rinse with deionized water before installing the array on the instrument.

Have you performed spatial and spectral calibrations?

Refer to the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide for information about performing spatial and spectral calibrations.

Have you validated instrument performance? To assess the signal intensity and resolution, perform a mock run using a diluted solution of the SNPlex™ ZipChute™ Mix and internal size standard, as explained in the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide.

SNPlex Genotyping System 48-plex ProtocolThis protocol provides instructions for manually performing SNPlex™ System experiments using 96- and 384-well plates. All volumes are calculated for single reactions and need to be scaled-up appropriately. The SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex General Automation Getting Started Guide (PN 4358099) provides modified protocols for automating the SNPlex System assay using robotics.

1 Prepare and fragment gDNA. a. Purify gDNA using one of the recommended kits. (Refer to the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide for a list of recommended kits.)

b. Determine the concentration of gDNA. Optionally, run an aliquot of each quantified DNA sample on a 0.8% agarose gel. If the sample appears as a solid, high-molecular-weight band, continue with the procedure. If the sample appears smeared across the lane, omit the heat-fragmentation step.Note: Heat fragmentation has been shown to improve genotyping of some SNPs. However, over-fragmentation is detrimental to the assay. Heat fragmentation may be omitted if desired. For DNA samples available only in limited quantities, it is recommended you omit heat fragmentation and proceed to step g.Note: Applied Biosystems recommends using the TaqMan® RNase P Quantification Kit to quantify the concentration of human DNA. Other methods can result in false-high calculations of gDNA concentration, which may negatively affect the assay.

c. Dilute the purified DNA to a concentration of 50 to 200 ng/µL using 1✕ TE, pH 8.0. Note: The fragmentation protocol is equally effective if the DNA sample is diluted in nuclease-free water, 0.5✕ TE pH 8.0, 2✕ TE pH 8.0, 1✕ TE pH 7.5, 1✕ TE pH 7.0, Gentra’s PureGene® DNA Hydration Solution, or Qiagen’s FlexiGene Hydration Buffer.

d. Dispense 12.5 to 150 µL of prepared gDNA into a chilled reaction plate, then cover the plate.

e. Program the thermal cycler as follows:

f. When the thermal cycler reaches 4 ° C, insert the chilled reaction plate and resume the program.

g. Dilute the fragmented gDNA to a final concentration of 18.5 ng/µL with 1✕ TE, pH 8.0.

Note: If using whole genome amplification (WGA), Applied Biosystems recommends diluting the DNA to 37 ng/µL.

Note: The concentration of 18.5 ng/µL is based on quantification using the TaqMan® RNase P Quantification Assay. If you are using fluorescence- or absorbance-based assays, consider doubling the gDNA concentration (37 ng/µL).

h. Dispense 2 µL of diluted DNA into each well of a 384- or 96-well optical reaction plate. Air-dry for 3 days in a dark, amplicon-free location. After drying, keep the plate covered in the dark at room temperature until use (dried-down gDNA method).Alternatively, add 2 µL of diluted DNA directly to the OLA plate without drying it down (wet gDNA method).IMPORTANT! Do not dispense DNA into wells that are designated NTC and allelic ladder.

d. Use a recommended cover and compression pad to cover the plate, then run the thermal cycler (The conditions below are for an Applied Biosystems Dual 384-Well GeneAmp® 9700 PCR System.):

Note: The OLA Master Mix contains enzymes to promote phosphorylation of probes and linkers, UNG to degrade contaminating amplicons, and ligase. All steps are carried out sequentially during the thermocycling protocol. Note: The OLA reaction is optimized for the Applied Biosystems GeneAmp® 9700 PCR System. If a different thermal cycler is used, refer to the conditions specified in the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide.IMPORTANT! Applied Biosystems has found that some plate covers negatively affect the performance of the SNPlex Assay. It is critical to use a recommended plate cover that will not affect the chemistry of the ligation reaction. See the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide for recommended plate covers.

e. Proceed directly to exonuclease digestion. Alternatively, you can store OLA reactions at −20 ° C for up to 21 days.

3 Purify ligation product by exonuclease digestion.

a. Directly before use, prepare a 2✕ Exonuclease master mix on ice by scaling the volumes listed below to the desired number of OLA reactions. Prepare extra volume to account for pipetting losses.

b. Pipette 5.0 µL of 2✕ Exonuclease master mix into each well of the OLA reaction. Cover the plate, then vortex and spin briefly.

c. Transfer the reaction plate to the thermal cycler, and start the program.

d. Proceed to dilution of the Exonuclease reactions and PCR amplification. Note: The reactions can either be left at 4 ° C overnight in the thermal cycler, or stored at −20 ° C for up to 21 days.

If there are bubbles, briefly spin the plate.Note: For information about proper sample plate layout, refer to “Designing the Sample Plate Layout” in the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide.IMPORTANT! If you are not going to immediately use the plates for analysis, seal the plates and store at −20 ° C.Note: Consider the plate seal options for use with the 3730 and 3730xl instruments. While both septa and heat seal film are available, the septa do not provide an air-tight seal. Some gradual signal loss occurs over time when using the septa. If the SNPlex™ plates will remain on the instrument in excess of 12 hours, Applied Biosystems recommends using the pierceable heat seal option. (Heat Seal film, 3730/3730xl instrument only; septa only can be used with the 3130xl instrument.) Be aware that after the heat seal is pierced by the instrument for sample injection, the seal is no longer intact.

9 Create a results group for SNPlex System experiments.

a. In the Data Collection software, open the Results Group Editor, then select the Naming tab.

b. Complete the information on the tab as shown below:

Note: This figure shows the Results Group Editor for instruments running 16- or 48-capillary arrays. For instruments running 96-capillary arrays, the Run Sequence Number field is not necessary.IMPORTANT! For GeneMapper software to correctly process SNPlex System data, run folder naming conventions and sample plate layout (as shown in “Sample Plate Layout Examples” on page 2) must be compatible.

10 Create the plate record. Note: The following procedure explains how to create plate records using the fully automated workflow recommended for high-throughput environments. Refer to the SNPlex™ Genotyping System 48-plex User Guide for information about setting up plate records manually.

a. In the Data Collection software, open the Plate Manager.

b. Click Import, then navigate to the text file that you want to import.

c. Select the file that you want to import, then click Open.

The Data Collection software imports the contents of the file into a new plate record and displays a confirmation message if the import is successful.

IMPORTANT! For GeneMapper software to recognize the SNP set information, you must have imported the assay information file into GeneMapper software (Step 2, “Load the SNPlex™ System panels and bins.” on page 13).
