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
Highly efficient, flexible workflows and a consolidated assay menu deliver confidence with every result. Automated PCR setup and analysis help make the most of your resources and reduce error.
