Precipitation steps (PEG), centrifugation and careful resuspension of the invisible pelleted viral particles precede efficient extraction of viral RNA and DNA from minipools (n 96, 9.6 ml). Loss of nucleic acid during this time consuming steps is another critical point.

Precipitation steps (PEG), centrifugation and careful resuspension of the invisible pelleted viral particles precede efficient extraction of viral RNA and DNA from minipools (n 96, 9.6 ml). Loss of nucleic acid during this time consuming stepsis another critical point. We looked for an automated RNA/DNA extraction method,that could start right from the minipool sample (n = 96, 9.6 ml).

102 Pools have been analysed for B19, HBV and HAV so far. None of them tested positive. Cross contamination study was performed with two3 x 4 matrices of alternating negative and B19 spiked pools. Referring to a dose of 10EE 8 IU/ml per single donation all of the none spiked pool were negativein B19 LC-PCR. Tracing back reactive results from pools to single donation via ”chessboard“ testing was performedfor HAV, HBV and B19. Robustness Zentrallabor Hagen SoGAT XVII, Paris, 27/05/04
Combination of Chemagen´s magnetic bead tech-nology with real time PCR without pre-extraction manipulation of the minipool (n = 96) reveals acceptable sensitivity and robustness for PAV B19, HAV and HBV; Implementation of a robotic sample processor with the magnetic separation module for sample identification, aliquoting reagents and sample lysis; Increasing throughput by optimizing time management.
