Targeted Panel Assays:

Plasma-Safe-SeqS (PSS) Technology

BC-SEQ

BC-SEQ detects mutations in established and emerging predictive markers, resistance mutations, and frequently occurring genetic alterations in breast cancer.

HNSCC-SEQ

Reliable detection of clinically relevant mutations in HPV-negative HNSCC.

RAS-RAF-SEQ

Detection of mutations in the five most relevant targets for cancers (e.g., colorectal, pancreatic, gallbladder, ovarian, and lung) impacted by the RAS-RAF and PI3K signaling pathways.

AML-SEQ™

Ultra-sensitive detection of the most common Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) biomarkers with maximum efficiency.

AML-MRD-SEQ

Reliable detection of AML-MRD relevant and promising mutations. AML-MRD-SEQ detects 68 mutations across 20 genes, including established AML markers, such as IDH1, IDH2, and NPM1, and it demonstrates a significant potential for use as an investigational tool for other markers with prognostic values that are not yet well established.

Performance

Plasma-Safe-SeqS can detect between 5-7 mutant molecules (95% CI) irrespective of the amount of wildtype DNA present and/or the panel configuration. For 33 ng DNA input, this corresponds to 0.05-0.07% mutant allele frequency (MAF).
