CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The newly released CE-IVD Oncomine Solid Tumor DNA kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific enables highly accurate and reliable multiplexed sequencing of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor samples with the quality and performance needed for the clinical laboratory.
Compared to other molecular diagnostic testing methods, such as qPCR or Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS) can assess a broader range of genes in a single test. Based on the Ion Torrent AmpliSeq Technology, the kit allows detection of single nucleotide somatic changes, inversions, insertions, and deletions using as little as 10ng of FFPE DNA, enabling laboratory clinicians to analyze samples that may contain partially degraded or limited tumor material, and generate reportable results from more samples than previously possible with lower acceptance thresholds for FFPE tumor DNA.
