SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay is an In vitro Diagnostic Assay for Sensitive Detection, Identification and Quantification of the Mutational Status.

SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT Assay Simplex product variants include the KIT – D816V mutation.

The product variant is in addition supplied as a Dispense Ready (DR) version and a Ready-to-Use (RTU) version. DR assays include oligonucleotide mixtures and Master Mix in separate tubes which need to be dispensed into suitable plasticware before addition of template. RTU assays are pre-dispensed in PCR strip tubes and only need the addition of template before real-time qPCR amplification.

SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay combines allele-specific PCR with PentaBase’s novel and selective technologies comprising both HydrolEasy^® probes, SuPrimers™ and BaseBlockers™ for specific and sensitive target amplification. The SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay is based on PentaBase’s unique intercalating nucleic acid (INA^®) technology and the inclusion of intercalating pseudonucleotides (IPNs), which are synthetic DNA analogues comprising a flat heteroaromatic, hydrophobic molecule and a linker. IPN molecules are inserted into the oligonucleotides at fixed positions during oligonucleotide synthesis. The SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay contains both standard and INA^® oligonucleotides.

Intended purpose:
SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay is a semi-quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay intended for the semi-quantitative detection of specific somatic proto-oncogene c-KIT (KIT) gene mutations in human DNA purified from solid biopsies such as Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue. The assay is used with real-time PCR systems and samples can be prepared using automated platforms or in manual workflows.

SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended to detect, identify, and quantify the KIT somatic mutational status for stratification. It is not intended as a companion diagnostic device.

Intended user:
SensiScreen^® FFPE KIT qPCR Assay is intended for use by healthcare professionals or qualified laboratory personnel instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR as well as proficient in handling biological samples. Medical conclusions based on results from this product require medical authorisation.
