Bioo Scientific NEXTflex BRCA 1/2 Amplicon Panel

Jun 15, 2016

Bioo Scientific has launched the NEXTflex BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 Amplicon panel for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) Illumina-compatible sequencing. The kit detects clinically relevant somatic mutations in the BRCA 1/2 genes from DNA isolated from FFPE samples. It includes all components necessary for rapidly generating ready-to-sequence libraries, including primer pairs, library prep reagents, size selection beads, and indexed barcodes.
