Applied Biosystems SOLiD™ EZ Bead™ Enricher Getting Started Guide

About This Guide

Purpose

This getting started guide provides the information that you need to wash and enrich

templated beads on the SOLiD® EZ Bead™ Enricher.

To use the SOLiD® System, DNA libraries to be sequenced require amplification on

P1 Beads during emulsion PCR (ePCR), followed by enrichment of the templated

beads. Templated bead preparation can be performed using the SOLiD® EZ Bead

System:

•SOLiD

® EZ Bead Emulsifier: To prepare emulsions containing library template and

P1 Beads [refer to the Applied Biosystems SOLiD® EZ Bead Emulsifier Getting Started

Guide (Part no. 4441486)].

•SOLiD® EZ Bead Amplifier: To perform emulsion PCR (ePCR) [refer to the Applied

Biosystems SOLiD® EZ Bead Amplifier Getting Started Guide (Part no. 4443494)].

•SOLiD® EZ Bead Enricher: To wash and enrich the templated beads. After

enrichment, perform a Terminal Transferase reaction to modify the 3′ ends of the

library (see this guide).

The enriched beads are deposited on a slide and the library is sequenced (see Figure 1).

Prerequisites

This guide uses conventions and terminology that assume a working knowledge of the

Microsoft® Windows® operating system, the Internet, and Internet-based browsers.

Safety information

Note: For general safe alert on the instrument.

Safety alert words Four safety alert words appear in Life Technologies user documentation at points in

the document where you need to be aware of relevant hazards. Each alert word—

IMPORTANT, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER—implies a particular level of

observation or action, as defined below:

IMPORTANT! – Indicates information that is necessary for proper instrument

operation, accurate chemistry kit use, or safe use of a chemical.

CAUTION! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may

result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

WARNING! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

DANGER! – Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme

situations.

Note: Except for IMPORTANTs, each safety alert word in an Life Technologies

document appears with an open triangle figure that contains a hazard symbol. These

hazard symbols are identical to the hazard symbols that are affixed to Applied Biosystems

instruments (see “Safety symbols” on page 76).

SDSs The Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for any chemicals supplied by Applied Biosystems or

Ambion are available to you free 24 hours a day. For instructions on obtaining SDSs,

see “SDSs” on page 82.

IMPORTANT! For the SDSs of chemicals not distributed by Life Technologies or

Ambion contact the chemical manufacturer.

Safety labels on

instruments

The following CAUTION, WARNING, and DANGER statements may be displayed on

Life Technologies instruments in combination with the safety symbols described in the

preceding section.

Chapter1 Prepare and Run the SOLiD® EZ Bead™ Enricher

Before you begin 1

Before you begin

• Prepare an emulsion of the DNA library and P1 Beads with the SOLiD® EZ Bead

Emulsifier [refer to the Applied Biosystems SOLiD® EZ Bead Emulsifier Getting

Started Guide (Part no. 4441486)].

• Amplify the library template onto P1 beads using the SOLiD® EZ Bead Amplifier

[refer to the Applied Biosystems SOLiD® EZ Bead Amplifier Getting Started Guide

(Part no. 4443494)].

• Install the Enricher in a different location than the location used to prepare

emulsions containing library template and P1 Beads. Emulsification and

enrichment in different locations prevents contamination of the sample. Do not

install the Enricher and the Emulsifier in the same room. For more information,

refer to the Applied Biosystems SOLiD® EZ Bead Emulsifier Site Preparation Guide

(Part no. 4452499).

• Store unlabeled cleaning racks A and B where they can be routinely used with the

Enricher. Like the waste container, the cleaning racks are required for normal

operation of the Enricher.

Chapter1 Prepare and Run the SOLiD® EZ Bead™ Enricher

Prepare and install the reagents

Note: You can thaw the SOLiD EZ Bead Capture Oligo on ice as you prepare and

install reagents on the instrument (see step 6).

Note: For specific safety information on handling of butanol and butanol waste, see

“Specific alerts for chemicals” on page 84.

1. Ensure that the Enricher has been properly cleaned or primed (see Table 1).

IMPORTANT! After the Enricher has been run, always clean the instrument before

starting another enrichment run.

Table1 Clean or prime the Enricher, if necessary

2. Empty the waste bottle:

a. Remove used reagent racks A and B.

b. Empty then reinstall the waste bottle.

c. Screw on the cap with attached tubing to the waste bottle.

3. Install the Enricher Buffer Kit – Butanol:

a. Unscrew the cap with attached tubing of the previously installed bottle of

c. Replace the previously installed bottle of butanol with the new bottle of

butanol in the labelled holder of the Enricher (see Figure 6 on page 18).

d. Screw the cap with the attached tubing to the new bottle of butanol so that

the cap seals the bottle.

4. Install reagent rack A on the Enricher:

a. Uncap the bottles on a rack.

b. Insert the rack on the right top railing (see Figure 5 on page 18 and Figure 6

on page 18).

c. Slide the rack until the rack is fully into the instrument and the rack stops.

5. Remove all used plastic consumables, if necessary.

11. Install the bottle of SOLiD® EZ Bead™ Enricher Capture Beads in the SOLiD® EZ

Bead™ Enricher Capture Bead Tube (9, pink) on the thermomixer:

a. Unscrew the cap of a new bottle of Capture Beads (stored at 4°C). Ensure that

you are using the correct bottle of Capture beads for E10, E20, E80, or E120

scale of enrichment.

b. Unscrew the cap that has a new SOLiD EZ Bead Sipping Assembly, as shown

in Figure 7.

Figure7 Unscrew cap with new Sipping Assembly

c. Screw the new Sipping Assembly on to the new bottle of Capture Beads.

Discard the used bottle that originally contained the new Sipping Assembly.

d. Place the new bottle of capture beads with the new Sipping Assembly in the

labelled location in the Emulsifier (see Figure 5 on page 18 and Figure 6).

e. Connect the tubing to the Sipping Assembly.

Applicator, push the remaining emulsion toward the pouch nozzle.

f. Uncap the pouch nozzle, then pour the remaining emulsion into the Input

Tube.

g. Screw the cap assembly on the Input Tube.

h. Screw the cap onto the pouch nozzle, then dispose of the pouch into the

appropriate waste container.

13. Weigh the emulsion in the tared, SOLiD® EZ Bead™ Enricher Input Tube with its

cap assembly:

a. Record the weight of the emulsion for later use: _____________ g.

b. Follow the table below:

14. Place the Enricher Input Tube in the labelled location on the Enricher, then attach

the tubing to the Input Tube.

15. Install the Enricher Column (see Figure 5 on page 18 and Figure 6 on page 18 and

Figure 8):

a. Disconnect the cleaning line from the base of the Enricher Column, then

connect the cleaning line to any port on the Cleaning Manifold.

b. Unlock the clamp, if necessary.

c. Connect the tubing to the top of a new Enricher Column (see Figure 8).

d. Push the male fitting at the bottom of the Enricher column into bottom female

connection (Figure 8).

e. Clamp and lock the column.

If the weight of the

emulsion is within

range...

Then...

E10: 13 g to 18 g

E20: 22 g to 27 g

E80/E120: 100 g to 118 g

Proceed to step 14 to complete installation for the

enrichment run.
