MicroSight® MSI 1-Step HRM Analysis Assay
MicroSight® MSI is a simple and fast method for evaluating microsatellite instability (MSI) status of human DNA. The analysis is based on PentaBase’s proprietary INA® technology that enables fast and easy detection of microsatellite instability status by real-time PCR and high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis.
MicroSight® MSI requires very little hands-on time and enables evaluation of patient microsatellite status of purified human genomic DNA in less than one and a half hours for fast treatment guidance of cancer patients.
MicroSight® MSI can be used for analysis of both paired and unpaired tumour samples. Evaluation of unpaired tumour samples is done by comparison to an included universal reference. Up to 7 unpaired tumour samples can be analysed in each real-time PCR run.
- Used with BaseTyper 48.4 real-time PCR system
- Paired and unpaired sample analysis
- Semi-automatic objective analysis
- Results in less than 2 hours
- Minimal hands-on time
- CE IVD

Product Name MicroSight® MSI 1-Step HRM Analysis
Product Description PCR master mix and oligonucleotide mix for evaluation of MSI status of BAT25, BAT26, NR22 and MONO27, universal reference, positive and negative control
Format Ready-to-Use
Reactions 16
Intended Use
MicroSight® MSI 1-step HRM analysis is based on Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) followed by high-resolution melt (HRM) study on a BaseTyper™ 48.4 Quiet HRM Real-Time PCR System. The assay is intended for the qualitative evaluation of microsatellite stability (MSS)/instability (MSI), in human DNA from solid biopsies such as Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue. MSI is known as a prognostic marker and a predictive factor of response to certain therapies like check point inhibitors and 5-fluorouracil.
MicroSight® MSI 1-step HRM analysis is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended as an aid to correct treatment selection. The assay is intended for use by healthcare professionals or qualified laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR, HRM measurements as well as proficient in handling biological samples. Medical interventions based on results from this product requires medical authorization. [EN]

Semi-automatic Analysis of Well-establised Micro-satellite Loci
MicroSight® MSI evaluates instability of the well-established microsatellite markers BAT25, BAT26, NR22, NR24 and MONO27 allowing for easy conversion from current methods based on capillary electrophoresis.
The BaseTyper software automatically calls each locus either stable (MSS) or unstable (MSI) based on the generated HRM difference plot and defined threshold for each locus.
