Thermo Fisher Scientific Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus for the detection of targeted and immuno-oncology biomarkers. The assay, designed for solid tumors, covers more than 500 genes and enables analysis of both DNA and RNA in a single workflow. It detects single nucleotide variants, indels, copy number variants, gene fusions, and splice variants and is suitable for microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) assessment. The assay requires 1 ng DNA/RNA input and fits seamlessly into existing Thermo Fisher Ion Chef and Ion GeneStudio system workflows.
