OncoFOCUS™ Panel v3: Simplifying Cancer Genetic Testing

In the fight against cancers like melanoma, colon, and lung cancer, understanding the genetic changes involved is really important. A lot of the time, genetic testing can be slow and only looks at a few gene changes, or it’s really complicated and takes a long time. The OncoFOCUS™ Panel v3 from Agena Bioscience is changing this by making the process simpler and more thorough.

This panel can test for over 200 important gene changes in cancer-related genes like BRAF, EGFR, KIT, KRAS, and NRAS. These genes are linked to different types of cancer, and knowing what’s going on with them can really help in figuring out the best way to treat each case.

Efficient and Easy to Use

What’s great about the OncoFOCUS™ Panel v3 is how fast and straightforward it is. The whole testing process takes just 8 hours, and you don’t have to spend a lot of time doing hands-on work – less than 30 minutes in fact. This makes it a practical choice for labs that need to get things done quickly.

The panel is also pretty flexible in how many samples you can test at one time. It works with either 96 or 384 samples in one go, which means you can process up to 256 samples in a day.

Clear Reports for Quick Decisions

After the test run, you get a report that lists all the gene changes found in the samples. This report is easy to understand, helping doctors and researchers quickly figure out what the results mean for treatment and further study.

The OncoFOCUS™ Panel v3 is especially handy for studying tumors in melanoma, colon, and lung cancer. By giving a clear picture of the genetic changes in these cancers, it helps in coming up with personalized treatment plans.

In Summary

The OncoFOCUS™ Panel v3 is making a big difference in how cancer genetics are tested. It’s fast, easy to use, and gives a lot of valuable information about different gene changes in cancer. This tool is helping doctors and researchers better understand these diseases and work on more effective treatments.
