Main features
Detection of the main fusion variants of the NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes by one step Real Time PCR. Each mix allows the co-amplification of one or more fusions plus an endogenous control gene.
Controls
- Control assay: an expressed gene is amplified in the channel stably and independently from the original tumor tissue (Pan-cancer housekeeping gene) in order to verify the correct execution of the amplification process, the RNA quantity used and the possible presence of inhibitors that can cause false negative results;
- Positive control: the test contains a mix of RNA-DNA synthetic sequences which correspond with the main fusions detected by the kit;
- Negative control.
Starting material
RNA from fresh, frozen, formalin-fixed paraffinembedded (FFPE) tissues and cytological samples.
