Illumina TSO 500 DNA/RNA on Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek NGenius

Illumina and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences have launched an automated version of the Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 DNA/RNA assay on the Biomek NGenius System. The application supports both DNA and RNA inputs, enabling the detection of cancer biomarkers including single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, gene amplifications, fusions, and splice events. Library preparation can be achieved in less than three days. Four to 24 libraries can be processed in a single batch, accommodating both high-quality and low-quality formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. The assay is also optimized for reduced plastic use and lower consumable costs.
