Applications

Our TSO500 NGS services provide pan-cancer genomic biomarker analysis to enable:
  • Discovery and verification of the presence of genomic biomarker targets and signatures in liquid biopsy ctDNA
  • Retrospective identification of potential oncology clinical trial patient responders versus non-responders based on genomic profiles
  • RUO development and orthogonal validation of novel liquid biopsy diagnostic solutions
  • Combine the matching TSO500 ctDNA and TSO500 Solid Tumor applications to develop and validate non-invasive liquid biopsy assays from matched-patient Plasma and FFPE samples

Sample Input Requirements

1

Blood collection tubes should be EDTA or Streck tubes, no Heparin tubes allowed
2

Plasma samples should be collected and separated within 2 hours of collection if possible as longer times impact degradation and downstream sequencing success
Double spun plasma is also acceptable
3

1 - 2 mL plasma frozen at -80°C with no signs of hemolysis
4

ctDNA extractions from Plasma will be done using the Beckman Coulter Apostle MiniMax ctDNA Extraction Kit with automated extractions performed on the Beckman i7 robot
5

ctDNA QC will be performed on the Fragment Analyzer
6

ctDNA Input: >30 ng in 50 ul volume
7

NGS sequencing runs using paired end 2 x 150 base pair reads
