An introduction to the PAXgene Blood RNA System
Key features and benefits of the PAXgene Blood RNA workflow
Detection and quantification of intracellular RNA transcripts.
Challenge
Solution
• R
NA transcript levels change dramatically, often within minutes of blood
collection, as a result of postphlebotomy gene induction, cell death, or enzymatic
RNA degradation. This can lead to artificial up or down regulation of gene
expression levels that are not representative of the real RNA transcript profile in
the body.
• Lack of standardized methods for RNA collection and purification from blood
increases variability in RNA quality and yield.
• Stabilize intracellular RNA at the point of blood collection.
• Integrate and standardize the workflow from blood collection to pure RNA.
The PAXgene Blood RNA System* is the first IVD marketed product for the collection, storage, and
transportation of blood and stabilization of intracellular RNA in a closed tube with subsequent isolation
and purification of intracellular RNA from whole blood for RT-PCR used in molecular diagnostic testing.
Performance characteristics for the PAXgene Blood RNA System have only been established with FOS
and IL1B gene transcripts. The user is responsible for establishing appropriate PAXgene Blood RNA
System performance characteristics for other target transcripts.

or frozen for as long as 4 years,* the RNA test results will be unaffected.
Transport or store blood

Blood sample storage (months)
Blood was drawn into PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes from multiple donors and stored at –20 and –70°C. Total RNA was purified
manually with the PAXgene Blood RNA Kit. Relative transcript levels of FOS and IL1B were determined by real-time, duplex
RT-PCR, using 18S rRNA as an internal standard. The means are plotted, with standard deviations of all samples shown.
The dotted lines indicate the ±3x total precision of the assays (FOS/18S rRNA: 2.34 CT; IL1B/18S rRNA: 1.93 CT).
Transcripts stayed stable over time at both temperatures.

Replicate samples, from multiple donors, were collected in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes and EDTA tubes and then stored as depicted above in a sub-set of matched samples. RNA was purified manually with the PAXgene Blood RNA Kit or a silica-membrane
based method at various time points as shown. Changes of the relative transcript levels of FOS and IL1B were determined by
real-time, duplex RT-PCR, using 18S rRNA as an internal standard. The dotted lines indicate the ±3x total precision of the assays.
The small ΔΔCT values for the samples in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes indicate that transcripts were not significantly changed. In
contrast, samples stored in EDTA tubes had a high transcript level variability independent of the day measured (for full details see
PAXgene Blood RNA Kit Handbook, www.preanalytix.com).

RNA purification (IVD)
• H
igh quality ready-to-use RNA (A260 /A280 ratio 1.8–2.2 for 95% of all samples)
• Consistent RNA yield (≥ 3 μg for > 95% of samples*)
• Genomic DNA contamination of less than 1% in ≥ 95% of all samples
• Reproducible and reliable quantitative RT-PCR results
• No significant RT-PCR inhibition when using up to 30% of the eluate
•
With automation:
• Less user interaction and hands-on time
• R
eduction of manual errors resulting in a higher degree of standardization
• Lower user-to-user variability
* for healthy donors with white blood cell (WBC) count in the range of 4.8–11.0 x 106 WBC/ml

Protocol performance
• The same kit can be used for manual or automated RNA purification on the QIAcube instrument.
• As part of the system, both protocols are available for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.*

Combination of User (A,B,C) and Lot (1,2,3)
Blood samples were collected in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes (576 tubes in total) and processed both manually and automatically
on multiple QIAcube instruments. To show reproducibility, multiple users (A, B, and C) used multiple kit lots (1, 2, and 3) with
both protocols.
(A) RNA yield was analyzed by UV spectroscopy. Median, lower/upper quartile, and min./max. RNA yields of all samples were
calculated and are shown for both protocols (n=288 per protocol).
(B) All RNA samples from one randomly chosen donor were selected for RNA integrity analysis. RIN values were calculated with
the Agilent® Bioanalyzer Nanochip. The means and standard deviations of RIN values from 36 samples per protocol were calculated and are shown in this figure (supporting data only).
There is no significant difference in the performance of the QIAcube and the manual procedure.
* The PAXgene Blood RNA System is available for IVD use only when composed of the PAXgene Blood RNA Tube (762165)
in combination with the PAXgene Blood RNA Kit (762164 or 762174).

The PAXgene Blood RNA Workflow
Collect blood according to instructions into a PAXgene
Blood RNA Tube.
Transport and store the filled PAXgene Blood RNA Tube as
described in the product circular. Incubate tubes for at least
2 hours at room temperature prior to processing.
Follow instructions in the kit handbook to pellet and wash
nucleic acids and transfer as instructed for processing.
Follow the manual or automated protocol of your chosen
PAXgene Blood RNA/miRNA Kit to purify high quality
RNA.
Purification is complete with a final elution and heat
denaturation of RNA.
