Product Description
SensiScreen® Liquid BRAF qPCR Assay is an In vitro Diagnostic Assay for Sensitive Detection, Identification and Quantification of the BRAF V600 Mutational Status.
SensiScreen® Liquid BRAF qPCR Assay product variants include the complete range of targeted BRAF V600 mutations in a multiplex format (product variant B1) and simplex format (product variant B2) or specifically target the BRAF V600E variant (product variant B3)
Each product variant is supplied as both a Dispense Ready (DR) 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® Liquid BRAF 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® Liquid BRAF 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® Liquid BRAF qPCR Assay contains both standard and INA® oligonucleotides.
Intended Use
Intended purpose:
SensiScreen® Liquid BRAF qPCR Assay is a semi-quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay intended for the detection, identification, and relative quantification of specific somatic mutations in the human v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) gene in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) purified from liquid biopsies including plasma and serum. The assay is used with real-time PCR systems and samples can be prepared using automated platforms or in manual workflows. The assay is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended for patients already diagnosed with BRAF mutation to aid in disease monitoring based on BRAF mutation status. The test result correlates with the amount of BRAF mutant cfDNA. Results can be used to determine changes in BRAF mutation quantity levels in patients over time such as during cancer interventions or during follow-up. It is not intended as a companion diagnostic device.
Intended user:
SensiScreen® Liquid BRAF qPCR Assay is intended to be used 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 interventions based on results from this product require medical authorization.
