OncoBEAMTM
Revolutionary liquid biopsy technology
Our OncoBEAM™ technology set the gold standard for ctDNA-based liquid biopsy testing as the first liquid biopsy technology used for oncology studies. It’s the most sensitive digital PCR approach available today. Proven to detect important mutations from 0.02% to 0.04% allele frequency, OncoBEAM technology ensures reliable molecular information for real-time monitoring of tumor response and subsequent therapy interventions.
Based on BEAMing (Bead, Emulsion, Amplification, and Magnetics), OncoBEAM combines emulsion digital PCR with magnetic beads and flow cytometry for highly sensitive detection and quantification of mutant tumor DNA molecules.
-
2003:
OncoBEAM is first described in a study.1
-
2008:
The field of liquid biopsy was birthed when investigators at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine successfully demonstrated the clinical utility of OncoBEAM in a landmark study of metastatic colorectal cancer patients.2
-
2009-2020:
Nearly 100 peer-reviewed publications, more than 200 posters and publications, and at least 30 drugs have been developed using OncoBEAM technology.
