2 INTENDED USE
The Stool DNA kit is designed for automated and rapid isolation of PCR-quality DNA from a variety of stool sample sources including humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc. The Stool DNA kit yields high quality genomic, bacterial, and viral DNA from stool, ready to use in PCR and other downstream enzymatic reactions. The Stool DNA kit has been validated with human stool samples for the extraction of human DNA (see section 9 Performance data). It can be used on both the NorDiag Arrow instrument and the LIAISON
® IXT instrument.
The product is intended used by professional users, trained in molecular techniques and on the use of Arrow/ LIAISON
® IXT and respective kits. Any diagnostic result following purification with the Stool DNA kit should be
interpreted with regards to other laboratory or clinical findings.
3 SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
The Stool DNA kit is a generic system based on magnetic beads, and various buffer solutions that enable the efficient extraction of DNA from stool samples. The Arrow/ LIAISON
® IXT instrument automates the purification of
DNA.This reduces the hands-on time and enables greater sample throughput as well as reduced inhibition in the downstream analysis systems. The isolated DNA is intended for qualitative analyses. The automated protocol is fast and easy to setup with all reagents present in prefilled cartridges. Up to12 fecal samples can be completed in less than 50 minutes.

4 STOOL DNA PROCEDURE
The Stool DNA kit is based on magnetic bead technology. The paramagnetic particles are used to capture DNA in solution. The DNA on the magnetic beads is washed and thereafter eluted from the magnetic beads into a solution for further use (fig.1).
1. Stool is mixed into the stool stabilizer, homogenized and centrifuged to remove particular matter.
2. The supernatant is used as sample in the instrument.
3. The sample is treated with a lysis solution.
4. Magnetic beads are added to bind the DNA in the solution.
5. After DNA binding to the magnetic beads, several washes are performed with magnetic separation between each wash.
6. The magnetic bead/DNA complex is re-suspended in warm elution buffer, and after a magnetic separation the purified DNA is transferred to the elution tube.
7. DNA is now ready for further analysis.

laboratory findings. A negative test result should not exclude the possibility of a positive sample because test results may be affected by several factors, such as substances present in the specimen that may interfere with the test, incorrect specimen collection, specimen mix-up, or technical problems.
Verify that all components, e.g. cartridges, pumps and tips, sample tubes and elution tubes are correctly positioned in the rack. Take care to choose the correct protocol for the cartridge that is used in your run.
If the instrument was moved, please refer to the Installation Manual and the Operator`s Manual for information about the installation checks that need to be performed.
Keep the instrument clean (see section 8.1.9 Cleaning after the run).
Regular preventative maintenance is necessary to ensure that the instrument is working properly, and to avoid unnecessary stops during testing. This must be performed by trained personnel.
6.7 Hazards
Always wear protective clothing according to laboratory regulations, such as gloves and safety goggles, when using the kit.
Do not add bleach directly to the sample-preparation waste in the used cartridge. The waste contains guanidine hydrochloride, which can form highly reactive compounds when combined with bleach. A separate MSDS is available on request.
Never pierce cartridges outside of the instrument (see section 8.1.4).
Do not wash the piercing tool with bleach directly after piercing (see section 8.1.4 for cleaning of the piercing tool).
Remove used cartridges, pump-tips, samples, and elution tubes after each run.
Treat all sample material (including waste from the instrument) as hazardous, and handle in accordance with laboratory guidelines.
6.8 Service and Maintenance Information
Annual service is recommended for the instrument to function properly. The surface on the instrument should always be kept clean. Clean the surface with either a detergent or alcohol depending on what has been spilt. Please refer to the Operators’ Manual for further information on cleaning and decontamination of the instrument.
6.8.1 Contamination
Wear gloves when placing and piercing the cartridges. Make sure that the piercing tool is clean, and free of RNase if required (see section 8.1.4. Pierce cartridge). Always use filter tips when pipetting sample.
6.8.2 Controls
To control the sample preparation process, it is recommended to prepare a confirmed positive sample and include it in the purification process along with the other samples. To detect and minimize irregularities in diagnostic results, adequate controls should also be used according to the instruction for use for the applicable downstream detection method.
6.8.3 Technical Support
If an instrument problem occurs, first consult section 8.5 Troubleshooting. Make notes of any unusual
observations or error messages, prior to mailing support. Please use [email protected] as your first line of reporting support issues.

12.06.02-536-07,EN 03/13
7 SAMPLE COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
It is recommended that stool samples are collected from the surface of the stool and stored in the Stool stabilizer buffer. If this buffer is not available during collection of the stool sample, the stool should be kept frozen until extraction is scheduled and Stool stabilizer can be added.
The sample preparation procedure is as follows:
1. In a 2 mL sample tube, add 1 mL Stool stabilizer reagent to ~120 mg or less of fresh or frozen stool
sample collected.
2. Let the sample solution rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes with vigorous vortexing every 5
minutes.
3. Make sure the stool samples are thoroughly homogenized. Note: The samples may be frozen after this
step for later DNA extraction. After thawing of such frozen samples, a vortexing step is necessary for re-
homogenization.
4. Centrifuge the samples at ~6000 g for 5 minutes.
5. Transfer 500 µL stool supernatant to a new clean 1,5 mL screw cap tube (see Table 2) for extraction on
the Arrow/LIAISON® IXT instrument. Often there is a “fatty” layer on top of the stool supernatant. Pierce
through this layer with the pipette tip and aspirate slowly the 500 µL solution needed while avoiding
transfer of any particles.

8.1.4 Pierce cartridge
The piercing tool (fig.9) is used to pierce holes in the cartridge foil while the rack with the cartridge is positioned in the instrument (fig.13).
a. Piercing procedure Pierce from the back to the front of the cartridge, with the piercing tool oriented according to figure 9. A complete piercing is best obtained by resolute and continuous movements throughout the procedure. Resolutely pierce the back well (figure 10), and, without pausing, roll the tool through the remaining wells (figure 11). This 2-step procedure should take approximately 1 second per cartridge. If piercing is not complete, roll the tool back to the starting point (figure 12).
b. Piercing tool cleaning procedure
Immediately after piercing has been completed, clean the piercing tool by rinsing the tool under tap water. Leave to dry until next use. In cases where further cleaning is desirable (e.g. with ethanol, or RNaseAway™), ensure that the piercing tool has become dry before use*. Treatment with chemicals such as RNaseAway™ necessitates a subsequent thorough rinse in nuclease-free water. The piercing tool may be autoclaved.
*WARNING: If ethanol is used for cleaning, and piercing is performed before the tool has become completely dry, then remaining ethanol will dissolve the print ink on the cartridge foil, with a subsequent risk of contaminating the reagents with ink.

8.5 Troubleshooting
Problem Comments
Low or zero eluate volume
The cartridge might not have been firmly in place in the rack during the run. For detailed instructions of cartridge loading, see section 8.1.3 Load cartridge.
The calibration settings could be out of range. Calibrate the instrument (see the Installation Manual). If the eluate volume is low or zero despite satisfactory calibration settings, check the used cartridge against the photo below. If there is poor match, photograph the used cartridge from the top and the side and email it to [email protected] for further troubleshooting.
Stool DNA cartridge post-run
Inhibition in downstream analysis
When collecting stool samples, collect from the surface of the stool as there is a higher concentration of inhibitors in the interior of the stool.
Reduce the amount of stool sample added to the stool stabilizer. With some stool samples it might be necessary to reduce the amount of stool to 30 mg pr mL stool stabilizer.
Use 200 uL elution volume to avoid inhibition.
Visible amounts of beads in the eluate
The presence of beads will affect absorbance readings, but not PCR or most other downstream analyses. To avoid bead influenced absorbance readings, remove beads by placing samples onto a magnet.
Non-responsive instrument screen
Disconnect the power cord, then reconnect to let the instrument re-initialize. If this does not help, contact DiaSorin at [email protected] .

9 PERFORMANCE DATA
9.1 Introduction
Stool DNA performs with high reproducibility and repeatability (section 9.2). A total of 82 individual samples have been tested with regard to yield and purity of total DNA and hDNA, as well as for the presence of PCR inhibitory substances (section 9.3).
9.2 Reproducibility and Repeatability
Stool from twelve persons were prepared in stool stabilizer buffer to a concentration of ~120 mg stool pr mL of buffer. The stool solutions were then aliquoted to sample tubes and extracted five times on 3 different instruments with three different operators (fig. 18). The sample volume was 500 µL stool solution in stool stabilizer buffer. The obtained eluate volume was approximately 180 µL.
Figure 18: Reproducibility and repeatability of Stool DNA.
As expected, the total DNA varies extensively among individuals. The reproducibility and repeatability of Stool DNA is excellent (fig.18).
9.3 Extraction of DNA from 82 Stool Samples Collected for Analysis of CRC
A total of 82 samples were randomly chosen from a large collection of stool samples previously collected from individuals with symptoms of colorectal cancer. Stool samples were collected directly in stool stabilizer by the patients themselves using a dedicated collection device and frozen in the laboratory at the time of arrival. Extraction of total DNA from 82 individuals shows a broad yield range of total DNA and hDNA, across patients (fig. 19 and 20, respectively). Measurement of DNA quality using the OD 260/280 ratio shows that near all values are above 1.7 (fig.21). All samples yielded good results when analyzed using real-time PCR for quantification of human DNA and PCR inhibition (fig.22).

10 LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE
See section 6.6 Operational Precautions and Limitations and the manufacturer’s instructions for use for the applicable detection system.
11 EXPECTED VALUES
The Stool DNA procedure only purifies the DNA from the sample to prepare for detection with another method. It does not give any values or diagnostic results as such. When using the Stool DNA procedure it is generally expected that the sensitivity of your analysis is the same or better than when using manual extraction methods. A low level of inhibition is also expected.
12 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The Stool DNA procedure has high reproducibility and repeatability, and yields DNA with very low occurrence of PCR inhibitory substances (see section 9 Performance Data). For performance characteristics of the detection
system, please see manufacturers’ instructions for use for the applicable detection system.
13 QUALITY CONTROL
To ensure consistent product quality, each lot of kits is released in accordance with DiaSorin Quality Control Procedure.
