AVENIO ctDNA Expanded Kit V2
Pan-cancer assay optimized for lung and colorectal cancer research
The AVENIO ctDNA Expanded Kit V2 is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) liquid biopsy research use only assay with a 77 gene panel containing genes in the U.S. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines1 and emerging cancer biomarkers. It is a pan-cancer assay that’s specially optimized for lung cancer and colorectal cancer (CRC) research.

**The kit reports ERBB2, EGFR, and MET CNVs. Performance is dependent on various factors, including sample type, input DNA amount, percent tumor content, and the individual tumor's genomic copy number. Our technical study detected CNVs at dPCR-verified copy numbers, using a commercially available reference sample (50ng). CNV specificity was high (PPV >99%). ERBB2 detected at 2.2 copies, MET detected at 2.6 copies.
Performance samples: Seraseq ctDNA Complete Mutation Mixes (SeraCare), healthy donor cfDNA.
Sensitivity and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) metrics based on observed product performance. Sensitivity and PPV performance reported per variant. Sensitivity was determined using commercially available reference samples containing verified mutations at the stated allele frequencies. SNV performance data based on hotspot calls. The AVENIO ctDNA Analysis Kit V2 can achieve >99.99% per base specificity across each of the panels. Stated performance requires at least 40 million reads per sample for all AVENIO ctDNA Panels V2. Sequencing performed on an Illumina NextSeq 500/550/550Dx (Research Use Only mode) instrument.
