What is it?
Highly sensitive real time PCR kit
This assay kit allows researchers to detect KRAS and BRAF mutations in colorectal cancer patients which can hinder the effectiveness of typically expensive targeted therapy.
Highly sensitive and cost-effective, differentiates eight KRAS mutations found in codons 12 and 13 and one BRAF mutation in codon 600.
The kit can conduct 24 tests and delivers results three hours after extraction.
Who is it for?
This kit is especially valuable to colorectal cancer researchers.
It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use with the appropriate clinical laboratory settings, safety standards and properly trained personnel. It functions as a companion diagnostics for the prediction of treatment response to anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) therapy in cancer patients.
It may also be useful to oncology researchers.
Why is it different?
This highly sensitive kit allows selective site-specific detection of mutant DNA.
It can detect less than 0.1% mutant sequence copies against a background of 99.9% wild-type DNA.
The ready-to-use reagent is compatible with various real time PCR machines and delivers results 3 hours after extraction.
Advantages
Accurate – Highly sensitive test allows site-specific detection of less than 0.1% mutant sequence copies in a background of 99.9% wild-type DNA
Fast – Delivers results in approximately 3 hours, tests up to 8 samples simultaneously
Easy – No post-PCR manipulation required
Cost effective – Lowest overall cost in market
Need to know
This is a consumable assay kit, developed, supplied and supported by DiagCor. It requires a compatible instrument and a meticulous MDx workflow.
