Precision oncology research requires somatic variant detection that is rapid and low-cost. Reliable detection of low abundance somatic mutations can be challenging due to limited quantity & poor quality of the specimens. Several technologies require specimens with high tumor content and generally reject as many as 20% of the samples due to low tumor fraction and DNA yield.
With the MassARRAY® System’s single day workflow and multiplexed chemistry, you can get information for variants quickly and at a low cost. iPLEX® HS chemistry enables detection of relevant variants from low sample input.
Embarking on your research journey and advancing discoveries doesn’t have to be difficult. Detect a wide range of biomarkers, including SNPs, insertions, deletions, translocations, and methylation, using our pre-designed research panels. Alternatively, work with our experienced Assays by Agena team to design your own unique panel.
Use DNA isolated from a variety of samples including fresh, frozen or paraffin embedded tissue, fine needle aspirates and cytology blocks.
Assays by Agena scientists design and develop custom research use assays. Assays can be developed for targeted germline or somatic genotyping, translocations, copy number variants and methylation profiling.
