OptiSeq™ Pan-Cancer Panel Service (65-Gene)
Sample to report within 10 business days
DiaDiaCarta offers a sample-to-report OptiSeq™ Targeted Sequencing cancer service at its state-of-the-art facility. The liquid biopsy/FFPE sample prep workflow provides clients with fast turnaround time and accurate VAF detection process. Variants are classified based on guidelines with a focus on actionable content from drug labels and clinical trials. Information is presented in a final report. The whole process from samples (blood/FFPE) to report is completed within 10 business days in our laboratory.
OptiSeq™ Pan-Cancer Panel is designed to target 2,900 commonly observed mutational positions (hotspots) from 65 oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. This panel contains a single pool of 601 primer pairs and the average amplicon length is 145 bp – perfectly suitable for ctDNA and FFDNA sequencing.

Advantages of OptiSeq™ Pan-Cancer Panel

samples tested
Liquid biopsy (blood/ccfDNA) and FFPE samples (tissue/DNA)

highly sensitive
Highly sensitive NGS test allows as low as 1% variant allele frequency (VAF) detection

Fast turnaround time
Sample receipt to clinical report within 10 days. No deep sequencing

Extremely uniform
100% observed uniformity at ≥ 0.2X mean depth and 97% observed uniformity at ≥ 0.5X

Low dna input needed
10ng for detection of somatic mutations (SNP); 100pg for germline mutations

Report to Clinicians
Comprehensive clinically significant variants, FDA-approved therapies and clinical trials
OptiSeq™ Pan-Cancer Panel Service Sample Report
The research NGS report also includes information regarding variant details, FDA-approved therapies for this indication, therapies associated with resistance, clinical trials, genes tested, methods and limitations, and selected citations.
