Description
Description
The ESR1 gene encodes estrogen receptor (ER) subtype alpha. The ddPLEX ESR1 Mutation Detection Assay quantitatively interrogates seven key ESR1 variants across three exons: exon 5 (E380Q), exon 7 (S463P) and exon 8 (L536R, Y537C, Y537S, Y537N and D538G), and their wild-type counterparts.
The assay consists of sufficient reagents for 120 reactions including 60 reactions of each for the Mutant Assay and Wild-Type Assay.
The assay used with the Bio-Rad QX600™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System or QX600™ AutoDG Droplet Digital™ PCR System and is compatible with QX Manager Standard Edition and Premium Edition software for data analysis.
This assay is a component of the ddPLEX ESR1 Mutation Detection Kit (17009501).
Features & Benefits
- Highly sensitive (0.01%–0.025% VAF*) single-well discrimination of seven key ESR1 gene mutations
- Same-day results with a streamlined workflow
- Flexible sample input of DNA from plasma or FFPE
- Kit includes positive and internal controls
- Sensitivity increased with patented wild-type suppression chemistry
- ddPCR-powered reproducibility and specificity using the QX600 ddPCR system and QX Manager Software
Applications & Uses
- For the detection, discrimination and quantification of key ESR1 mutations for breast cancer research, from cfDNA in plasma and/or DNA in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples.
