cobas® KRAS Mutation Test

KRAS Mutation Test

Identifies mutations in codons 12, 13 and 61 of the KRAS gene

The cobas® KRAS Mutation Test offers broad mutation coverage of KRAS codons 12, 13 and 61 to identify colorectal cancer patients who are not likely to respond to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapies.

Features and benefits

  • The cobas® KRAS Mutation Test detects major mutations in codons 12, 13 and 61 from colorectal cancer patients
  • In formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET), the cobas® KRAS Mutation Test can detect <5% mutant sequence copies in a background of wild-type DNA
  • Robust, reliable KRAS test results can be obtained from a single, 5µm FFPET section with >10% tumor content using the cobas® KRAS Mutation Test
  • The test can be performed in <8 hours so results can be reported to the treating physician within a few days from laboratory receipt of specimen
  • Liquid, ready-to-use reagents increase laboratory efficiency
  • Automated result interpretation and test reporting provides consistent, objective and reproducible results from laboratory to laboratory

LightCycler<sup>®</sup> 96 Instrument
LightCycler® 96 Instrument The LightCycler® 96 Instrument is a real-time PCR system for rapid cycling up to 96 samples. Applications include absolute and relative quantification, qualitative detection, melting curve analysis, high resolution melting and endpoint genotyping. Precise LightCycler® 96 Instrument thermal homogeneity and cycling speed produce accurate and reproducible results in a very short time. The LightCycler® 96 Instrument's optical detection system flexibly detects sequence-dependent probes, such as hydrolysis probes and sequence-independent dyes (i.e., SYBR Green I). Multiplex and multicolor capabilities permit the use of up to four different fluorescent dyes. New innovative LightCycler® 96 Application and Instrument Software creates a simple analysis workflow with easy import and export functions, email notifications after each run, online monitoring flexibility, and server-based network interfacing.

LightCycler<sup>®</sup> 480 Instrument II
LightCycler® 480 Instrument II The LightCycler® 480 Instrument II is a rapid, plate-based, thermal block cycler with integrated real-time, online detection capabilities. Based on a comprehensive improvement of Peltier-based technology incorporated in a silver block, the instrument provides extraordinary well-to-well temperature homogeneity and inter-well, inter-cycle reproducibility. The special arrangement of optical components in the LightCycler® 480 Instrument II ensures uniform collection of signals across the plate and makes analysis independent of the sample position on the plate.The LightCycler® 480 System setup enables the use of all current probe formats (e.g., SYBR Green I, ResoLight dye for high-resolution melting, hydrolysis probes, HybProbe probes, SimpleProbe probes), providing a solution for fast and precise qualitative or quantitative detection of nucleic acids, genotyping, and mutation scanning. Channels and filters can be combined in different ways to allow flexibility in mono-color as well as multiplex assays. The pre-installed LightCycler® 480 Software provides an intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface for real-time PCR programming, data capture, and data analysis. It facilitates highly versatile and extensive data analysis to study gene expression and genetic variation. The LightCycler® 480 Software enables users to quickly customize the system to meet different application requirements, from basic manual analysis to automated evaluation of data using the software macro feature.

<b>ePlex<sup>®</sup></b> 6-bay system
ePlex® system The ePlex system is used to run multiplex microarray-based assays developed by GenMark. This type of assay is based on the principles of competitive nucleic acid hybridization using a sandwich assay format, wherein a single-stranded target binds concurrently to a sequence-specific solution-phase signal probe and a solid-phase electrode-bound capture probe. The test employs nucleic acid extraction, target amplification via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and hybridization of target DNA. In the process, the double-stranded PCR amplicons are digested with exonuclease to generate single-stranded DNA suitable for hybridization.
