Understanding Liquid Biopsy Applications

 

Liquid biopsy is a revolutionary and less invasive method for detecting cancer through blood samples, serving as both a complementary tool and a surrogate for traditional tissue biopsies. This technology is transforming cancer diagnostics by enabling earlier disease detection, therapy selection, and ongoing treatment monitoring.

Our educational resources offer valuable insights into the practical applications of liquid biopsy in enhancing cancer management.

Comprehensive Solutions for Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) Detection



Monitoring MRD is essential for early cancer detection and effective treatment assessment. MRD refers to the small number of cancer cells that may remain in a patient’s body after treatment, posing a risk for relapse. Our resources provide essential insights for precise MRD testing, helping healthcare providers deliver better patient care.

ctDNA MRD Reference Materials: This resource is crucial for identifying early-stage cancers and closely monitoring patients for potential relapse. By facilitating the detection of variant allele frequencies (VAF) well below typical assay limits, we enable clinicians to make timely, informed decisions.

Reference Materials for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Detecting MRD in AML presents unique challenges due to the need to identify a few malignant cells among millions of normal cells. We encompass diverse mutations that mirror clinical scenarios, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and supporting tailored treatment strategies.

Advancements in Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) Measurement

 

TMB is a critical biomarker that evaluates the total number of mutations in a tumor’s DNA, offering insights into cancer aggressiveness and potential treatment responses. Our resources are designed to enhance TMB analysis, providing clinicians with the knowledge to make informed decisions.

Blood TMB Reference Materials: Learn how we facilitate the validation of blood-based TMB measurements. This non-invasive approach addresses the challenges of traditional tissue biopsies, ensuring accurate biomarker assessment and improving patient experience.

Optimizing cfDNA Extraction Processes

 

The extraction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a vital step in liquid biopsy workflows, enabling the detection of cancer-related genetic material from blood samples and directly affecting the quality of analytical results. We offer resources to optimize extraction methodologies, ensuring reliable outcomes.

Evaluation of cfDNA Extraction Kits: Our thorough evaluations guide users towards achieving high-quality cfDNA recovery. This is essential for accurate variant detection and downstream analysis, particularly in heterogeneous tumor samples where cfDNA content can vary significantly. By enhancing extraction processes, we support better diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions.

Enhanced Somatic Mutation Detection

 

Detecting somatic mutations in tumors helps to identify specific genetic changes, guiding personalized treatment options for patients. With the rapid advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS), the demand for reliable, patient-like reference materials has grown. Our offerings in this area are designed to meet these evolving needs.

Next-Generation Liquid Biopsy Reference Materials: We integrate a diverse array of clinically relevant alterations, enabling sensitive detection of somatic mutations at very low variant allele frequencies (down to 0.5%). Our expanded Seraseq® ctDNA Mutation Mix v4 reference materials provide a comprehensive framework for assay validation, ensuring that laboratories can confidently perform analyses that inform effective treatment strategies across various next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms.
