Chef mapper xa pfg system

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The CHEF-MAPPER XA PFG system is a laboratory instrument designed for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), a technique used for the separation and analysis of large DNA molecules. The system provides a controlled and programmable environment for the electrophoretic separation of DNA fragments, enabling researchers to study genome organization, chromosomal structure, and genetic variations.

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for triclosan-resistant isolates

To confirm and analyze the clonal relatedness among the triclosan-resistant isolates, PFGE was performed in accordance with the PulseNet protocols published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with some minor modifications. Briefly, the cell suspensions were treated with protease K and incubated with the XbaI restriction enzyme for at least 2 h at 37 °C to digest the DNA fragments. Then, PFGE was performed using the CHEF-MAPPER XA PFG system (Bio-Rad, USA) for 18 h. The detailed running condition were as follows: initial switch time value of 2.16 s and a final switch time of 54.17 s at a gradient of 6 V/cm at a 120° included angle [24 (link)]. Next, the electrophoretic banding patterns were visualized by the GelDoc XR gel imaging system (Bio-Rad, USA) and further analyzed by Quantity One (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). The Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmatic Mean (UPGMA) with optimization set at 1.5% to create the dendrogram at the cut-off line ≥85% was considered to analyze the genetic relatedness [25 (link)]. The standard Salmonella strain H9812 was considered as the positive control.

To con rm and analyze the clonal relatedness of resistant isolates, PFGE was also used for analysis the clonal relatedness of the triclosan resistant isolates, according to the PulseNet protocols published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with minor modi cations. The cell suspensions treated with protease K were incubated with XbaI restriction enzyme at least for 2 hours at 37 ºC to digest the DNA fragments. Then PFGE was performed using a CHEF-MAPPER XA PFG system (Bio-Rad, USA) for 18 hours. The detailed running condition were as follows: initial switch time value of 2.16 sec, nal switch time of 54.17 sec at a gradient of 6 V/cm at a 120°i ncluded angle [23] . Next, the electrophoretic banding patterns were visualized by GelDoc XR gel imaging system (Bio-Rad, USA) and further analyzed by Quantity One (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). The Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmatic Mean (UPGMA) with optimization set at 1.5% to create the dendrogram, cut off line ≥ 85% was considered to analyze genetic relatedness [24] . Salmonella standard strain H9812 was taken as the positive control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
