Evaluation of FFPE-extracted nucleic acid quality and performance

Next generation sequencing (NGS) assays and other advanced genomic techniques for tumor profiling require sufficient and high-quality nucleic acid input. Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples are a common, yet challenging type of patient sample often used in these tests.

Extraction of nucleic acids from FFPE is a critical step that can affect the ability of the assay to accurately detect all variants in a patient sample. In this scientific poster, LGC Diagnostics & Genomics - SeraCare Clinical Diagnostics assesses the yield, quality, and performance of nucleic acids obtained with industry-leading FFPE extraction kits using various Seraseq FFPE standards.
