“We use QIASymphony, which can process up to 500 qPCR samples per day. To prepare the samples, we use the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit because of its high sensitivity to detect even the smallest amounts of DNA. Our samples may contain less than 10 micrograms of the bacterial DNA we want to detect.”
“Companion diagnostic tests have been an extremely important advance in treating patients.”
“Digital PCR is definitely something that we can call on for analyzing liquid biopsy, adds Dr. Lindsay. It offers the greatest sensitivity for finding very small amounts of circulating tumor DNA.”
“The analysis of NGS data allowed us to identify a handful of small RNAs which can predict, with a very high accuracy, lung cancer.”
“The combined analysis of both tumor- and immune derived signals allows us to achieve the required sensitivity that we need for a screening test.”
