QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit (RUO)

BCR-ABL blood cancer cellsThe QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit (RUO) is a clinical research tool enabling ultra-sensitive and precise detection of BCR-ABL1 minor fusion transcripts (e1a2) from whole blood specimens. Building on the simple workflow and best-in-class sensitivity established with the FDA-cleared QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL IS Kit, the minor Kit allows labs and clinical researchers to examine the biology of disease for this very rare but distinct leukemic variant with unprecedented ease.

Features & Benefits

The QuantideX qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit (RUO) delivers high performance through unmatched sensitivity and optimized laboratory efficiency.

Reduced Complexity
Ease-of-data analysis and reporting:

  • Leverages the QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL IS Kit workflow concept for streamlined implementation
  • QuantideX qPCR Reporter provides automated calculation of BCR-ABL1/ABL1 % ratio and eliminates the need for manual calculation

Optimized Workflow
Valuable operator hands-on time has been significantly reduced through:

  • Multiplexed design amplifies and detects both fusion and control gene in the same reaction
  • All-inclusive reagents sourced and quality controlled together from a single vendor
  • Pre-mixed reagents allow fewer pipetting steps in mastermix preparation

Quality Performance
Detecting BCR-ABL1 minor transcripts robustly and reliably with a highly sensitive assay:

  • Ultra-sensitive Limit of Detection (LOD): Log reduction of 4.61 (0.0025% ratio)
  • Increased analytical sensitivity without compromising analytical specificity: incorporates Limit of Blank (LOB) to prevent miscalling of non-leukemic low positives
  • Armored RNA®-based standards provide true RNA quantification

Analytical Characteristics

  • Reproducible: Proven sensitivity based on rigorous testing criterion (Table 1)
  • Precise: Minimal variability across entire dynamic range of BCR-ABL1/ABL1 % ratios (Table 2)
  • Streamlined: Multiplexed design yields workflow and cost efficiencies (Figure 1)

QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit

The BCR-ABL1 minor breakpoint (e1a2) constitutes a rare but distinct leukemic variant and accurate detection and quantitation of these fusion transcripts are paramount to improving outcomes for all chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. The QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit, an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay, enables ultra-sensitive detection of BCR-ABL1 minor fusion transcripts from whole blood specimens.

 

Features & Benefits

The QuantideX qPCR BCR-ABL minor Kit marries improved efficiency with unprecedented sensitivity, empowering labs to assess the deepest molecular responses in patients harboring the minor breakpoint with the ease-of-use they’ve come to expect from Asuragen.

Reduced Complexity
Ease-of-data analysis and reporting:

  • Shares a common workflow with the QuantideX® qPCR BCR-ABL IS Kit to reduce training burden and streamline test implementation
  • Included software provides automated calculation of BCR-ABL1/ABL1 % ratio and the ability to report BCR-ABL Major on both the International Scale (IS) and copy number*

Optimized Workflow
Valuable operator hands-on time has been significantly reduced through:

  • Multiplexed design amplifies and detects both fusion and control gene in the same reaction
  • All necessary RT and qPCR reagents sourced and quality controlled together from a single vendor
  • Pre-mixed reagents allow fewer pipetting steps in mastermix preparation

Quality Performance
Detecting BCR-ABL1 minor transcripts robustly and reliably with a highly sensitive assay:

  • Ultra-sensitive Limit of Detection (LOD): Log reduction of 4.61 (0.0025% ratio)
  • Increased analytical sensitivity without compromising analytical specificity: incorporates Limit of Blank (LOB) to prevent miscalling of non-leukemic low positives
