highly sensitive down to 0.07% mutant allele fractions
fast turnaround time of two days from cfDNA to report
convenient data analysis and reporting with IVD-certified software
Sensitive mutation detection and streamlined workflow
Plasma-SeqSensei™ assays enable highly sensitive and quantitative detection of mutations in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) from the blood plasma of cancer patients by utilising next-generation sequencing technology. Plasma-SeqSensei’s™ short and standardised workflow delivers results within two days, including the generation of easy-to-read reports using laptop-compatible Plasma-SeqSensei™ IVD Software.
The kit covers key gene mutations on BRAF, EGFR, KRAS, NRAS and PIK3CA to detect established and emerging predictive markers, resistance mutations and frequently occurring genetic alterations in cancer.
Plasma-SeqSensei™ Solid Cancer IVD Kit is intended to support clinicians with:
detecting minimal residual disease
recurrence surveillance
(neo-)adjuvant response monitoring
analysing the RAS mutation status to determine the potential benefit of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy for colorectal cancer patients
