The Mimix™ OncoSpan gDNA reference standard is a commutable control material comprising a mixture of genomic DNA (gDNA) derived from human cancer cell lines, containing more than 380 variants across 152 cancer genes. It is intended for qualitative and/or quantitative monitoring of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) assays designed to detect somatic mutations in human gDNA samples for in vitro diagnostic use. This control can be used to monitor NGS and ddPCR workflow, test performance, assay variation and helps identify increases in random or systematic errors. This product is for professional laboratory use only.
A material which is used to verify the performance of an assay intended to be used for genomic profiling/screening of multiple genes associated with cancer to detect specific types of mutations [e.g., single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions, deletions, fusions, translocations and/or copy number variations (CNVs)] in a clinical specimen.
