Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has expanded its Oncomine portfolio with new assays for liquid biopsy and immuno-oncology to complement its comprehensive solutions for clinical research. The company also announced its next generation Ion AmpliSeq HD technology, which now adds highly customizable design capabilities to solid tumor and cell-free DNA panels. These innovations extend Thermo Fisher's commitment to help researchers bring new cancer diagnostics to clinic. The Ion Torrent Oncomine Pan-Cancer Cell-Free Assay enables reproducible detection and analysis of tumor DNA and RNA across all major classes of somatic mutations (SNVs, indels, CNVs and fusions) from a single vial of blood with as little as 1ng of nucleic acid input within two days. Targeting more than 50 genes across multiple cancer types, including lung, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, thyroid and others, the cell-free total nucleic acid (cfTNA) assay is the broadest developed by Thermo Fisher for liquid biopsy clinical research applications.
