QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Accessory Set A

From QIAGEN, this accessory set is intended for use with multiple QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kits on the QIAcube platform. It provides additional buffers and reagents, typically for use with 10 x QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kits (50) on the QIAcube, although the actual number of complete kits supported may vary depending on run parameters. The product is intended for molecular biology applications and is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease.

The set includes Buffer AL, Buffer AW1 (concentrate), Buffer AW2 (concentrate), Buffer AE, QIAGEN Protease (1 vial), and Protease Solvent (1.2 ml). According to the manufacturer, all buffers can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) for up to 1 year without showing any reduction in performance. Lyophilized QIAGEN Protease can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) for up to 12 months without affecting performance, while reconstituted QIAGEN Protease is stable for up to 1 year when stored at 2–8°C.

Safety guidance from the manufacturer states that when working with chemicals, a suitable lab coat, disposable gloves, and protective goggles should always be worn. Buffers AL and AW1 contain guanidine hydrochloride and must not be combined directly with bleach or acidic solutions, as highly reactive compounds can form. QIAGEN Protease contains subtilisin, a known sensitizer and irritant.
