Oncomine cfDNA Next-generation Sequencing Assays
- Limit of detection down to 0.1% limit of detection of SNV hotspots and indels
- Mean sensitivity 90% and specificity 98% demonstrated on engineered oncology controls
- Sample tolerance—flexible input amounts as low as 1 ng, and tolerance of sample input variability to accommodate more of your samples
- High-value content—including T790M, L858R, Exon 19 del, C797S and many more, the assays enable analysis of SNV hotspots and indels identified by OncoNetwork Consortia and clinical researchers around the world
- Efficient workflow enabled by the Ion S5 System, from a single tube of blood to results in just 2 days

“The new Lung cfDNA assay is able to amplify more difficult samples and allowed us the detection of mutations like EGFR T790M down to 0.14% allelic fraction in the plasma of lung cancer sample “

“Quality of DNA that we get from liquid biopsy is usually different from what we get from tissue samples.”
Nicola Normanno, Chief of Cell Biology and Biotherapy Unit, INT-Fondazione Pascale, Naples, Italy
“Tumours are highly heterogeneous and single mutation tests does not provide you with the information that you need to follow the molecular evolution of the disease; techniques like NGS are essential to generate a comprehensive molecular portrait of the tumour. “
The Oncomine Lung cfDNA Assay is part of a complete research solution to detect lung tumour-derived DNA (ctDNA) in cfDNA.

“MagMax method turned out to be a simpler and faster method to isolate cfDNA from plasma. Additionally the method is better for isolating cfDNA from contaminant high molecular weight genomic DNA. In combination with sequencing and digital PCR we had robust results testing EGFR mutations on lung samples.” —Prof. José Luis Costa, Ph.D. IPATIMUP, Porto, Portugal
