Cat. No. / ID: 337022
Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays are translational research tools that allow rapid and accurate profiling of somatic mutations using a custom gene panel.
qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays show a high degree of sensitivity — even with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples (see figures " High degree of sensitivity" and " Sensitivity of qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays with FFPE samples").
qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays are ideal tools for the detection of mutations in cell lines or fresh or FFPE research samples. Sensitive and accurate evaluation of mutation status is critical for toxicological, drug development, and cancer studies (see figure " Profiling of common cancer cell lines for somatic mutation status").
Simply mix the DNA template with the ready-to-use PCR master mix, aliquot equal volumes to each well of the same plate, and then run the real-time PCR cycling program. qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays are compatible with all ABI, Bio-Rad, Eppendorf, Roche, and Stratagene instruments.
qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays are available in 96-well and 384-well plates and are used to detect mutations related to a disease state or pathway, plus gene copy number controls for normalization. Each qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array also includes control elements for general PCR performance.
Data can be analyzed using the available Excel-based data analysis templates. Data analysis is based on either the ∆∆CT or Average ∆CT method.
Arrays are available in a variety of formats, all with mastermix included:
Custom qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Arrays are highly suited for the rapid and accurate profiling of mutations for a custom panel of genes.
200 ng gDNA from wild-type or cancer cell lines had 85 mutations (x axis) profiled on the Human EGFR qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array. Each detected mutation is indicated as a peak. All previously identified mutations in the EGFR pathway in these cell lines were confirmed.
