Single-pot duplex assay with integrated reverse transcription (RT) / cDNA synthesis and qPCR. Minimal Residual Disease determination through BCR-ABL/ABL ratio reported on the International Scale (IS) when used in conjunction with the recommended GenePath Dx RNA extraction protocol
SAMPLE TYPE: EDTA peripheral blood or bone marrow
REACTION VOLUME: 15 μL
LIMIT OF DETECTION: 0.0032% of BCR-ABL fusion transcript with ABL transcript used as the reference gene with a logarithmic reduction of 4.49 in relative expression between BCR-ABL and ABL (MR = 4.49).
WORKFLOW: Uses the ‘UNG/dUTP’ system to minimize the risk of PCR carry-over
contamination. The ABL transcript serves as a reference and internal control for monitoring the adequacy of sample and RNA extraction
INSTRUMENT COMPATIBILITY: Bio-Rad CFX96, Bio-Rad Opus, QIAGEN Rotor-Gene Q, ABI QuantStudio 5, ABI 7500 and Roche Light Cycler 480 II
RUN TIME: ~ 100 mins
SOFTWARE: Secure online tool to assist with data analysis and calculate the BCR-ABL/ABL ratio as reported on the IS
