QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Tests
Improved Sensitivity for Single Gene Mutation Detection
The QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test for plasma and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples aids in the identification of cancer patients eligible for treatment and in monitoring response to therapy, which can lead to improved outcomes in cancer patients. The QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test is an in vitro diagnostic real-time quantitative PCR assay for the detection of somatic mutations in and near codons 12 and 13 in Exon 2, codons 59 and 61 in Exon 3, and codons 117 and 146 in Exon 4 in the human KRAS gene, using purified DNA extracted from FFPE or plasma.
Powered by XNA technology, the QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test has achieved a much higher analytical sensitivity compared to other commercial qPCR kits and other cancer gene mutation detection methods. QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test is able to reliably detect 0.1% to 0.5% mutant DNA out of wild-type DNA for targeted mutations, providing lower detection limit compared to similar assays available in the market due to robust enrichment of mutant sequences while suppressing amplification of wild-type sequences.

KRAS Mutation and Cancer
The Most Frequently Mutated Oncogene in Cancer
One of the common cancer gene mutations, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) mutations, are found in several cancers including pancreatic (80 to 90%), colorectal (25 to 60%), lung (25 to 60%) cancers, and are associated with poor prognosis. Mutations in KRAS may lead to abnormal growth
KRAS as an Important Biomarker for Targeted Therapy
KRAS is an effector molecule involved in the transduction of signals from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to the nucleus. EGFR is overexpressed in metastatic colorectal cancer (

Supporting Data for QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test
QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test analytical sensitivity in plasma: Detects as low as 0.5% VAF mutant DNA in a 5ng input
cfDNA extracted from plasma of a colorectal cancer patient with known KRAS G12D mutation was diluted in 5ng/μl of wild-type cfDNA. VAF of the sample was verified by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The KRAS c12 assay was able to detect as low as 7-8 KRAS G12D mutant gene copies (0.5% VAF) in the background of wild-type cfDNA.

QClamp® KRAS Mutation Detection Test analytical sensitivity in FFPE: detects as low as 0.1% VAF mutant DNA in a 5ng input
DNA extracted from FFPE of a colorectal cancer patient with known KRAS G12D mutation was diluted in 5ng/μl of wild-type FFPE DNA. VAF of the sample was verified by NGS. The KRAS c12 assay was able to detect as low as 1.5 KRAS G12D mutant gene copies (0.1% VAF) in the background of wild-type FFPE DNA.

Streamlined Workflow for QClamp® Gene Mutation Detection Tests

Step 1: DNA Isolation & Quantification
Extract DNA from FFPE or plasma using a commercial DNA extraction kit and measure the concentration using fluorometric analysis

Step 2: set up qpcr
Mix the assay reagents, load into PCR plate, add controls and extracted DNA ~ 30-60 minutes

Step 3: Amplification parameters
Enter amplification parameters on
qPCR instrument, load PCR plate
and start the run ~ 2.5 hours

Step 4: Data analysis
Determine the presence or absence
of mutations according to the Cq
value cutoffs ~ 15 minutes
