Agena UltraSeek Lung and Colon Panels

Agena Bioscience has launched the UltraSeek Lung and Colon panels for the detection of somatic mutations from lung and colon cancers. The panels enable mutation profiling of circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cells from plasma and solid tumor tissue. They also target mutations of known significance in BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, KRAS, NRAS, and PIK3CA genes. The panels can work with DNA extracted from a single 10 mL blood draw and can detect mutations as low as 0.1 percent minor allele frequency, the company said.
