Lung cancer IHC portfolio

Lung assays

Deliver diagnostic confidence with the lung IHC portfolio

 

The statistics associated with lung cancer clearly demonstrate the aggressive nature of this deadly disease. Roche Diagnostics offers a robust menu of lung cancer diagnostic tools.

 

VENTANA prediluted, optimized reagents

 

Our antibodies are ready-to-use on the fully automated VENTANA BenchMark IHC/ISH staining platforms, reducing the time-to-result and resources required with manual or semi-automated solutions. VENTANA prediluted, optimized reagents consistently demonstrate superior performance when compared with concentrated antibodies that require manual dilution and in-house validation.

 

Proven portfolio of lung cancer assays

 

Our proven portfolio of lung cancer assays can assist in the stratification of disease, including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), neuroendocrine carcinoma and their various subtypes.
