oncominefocus

A solid tumor next-generation sequencing assay for biomarker analysis

The Oncomine Focus Assay is a targeted, multi-biomarker assay that enables detection of hotspots, SNVs, indels, CNVs, and gene fusions from DNA and RNA in a single workflow. This comprehensive assay design is further enhanced with workflow automation, delivering insights quickly and helping accelerate your research towards that next companion diagnostic or therapy in the future.

Designed for clinical and translational cancer research, the Oncomine Focus Assay leverages proprietary Ion AmpliSeq technology to enable robust results, low input amounts, and analysis of low quality samples, and is compatible with FFPE fine needle aspirates and core needle biopsies.

Comparison of Oncomine assay and Ion AmpliSeq panel content

Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) is empowering laboratories of all sizes to confidently pioneer breakthroughs in cancer research. At the core of these breakthroughs are assays and panels designed to achieve highly sensitive results from minimal sample input—to help deliver information that may lead to the next companion diagnostic test or therapy in the future.

Clinical cancer research requires countless decisions. Of critical importance are the decisions you make about assay content. The Oncomine Focus Assay provides a robust assay where all genes provide actionable insights across a range of different cancer types.


Performance

  • Reproducible and sensitive detection of variants across multiple cancer types
  • Compatible with as little as 10 ng sample, including FFPE fine needle biopsies and core needle aspirates
  • Enables results from up to six samples and two controls per run for DNA and RNA in a single workflow
  • NGS results in days rather than weeks, leveraging Ion Torrent sequencing technology, optional Ion Chef library preparation, and the Ion GeneStudio S5 Systems
