Overview

TruSight Tumor 15 is an NGS assay that assesses 15 commonly mutated genes in solid tumors. 

  • Accurate, economical, and rapid assessment of 15 genes in a single assay 1 

  • Detection of somatic variants at 5% allele frequency using 20 ng DNA from FFPE tissue1

  • Easy-to-interpret report requiring minimal bioinformatics resources 

  • Seamless integration into existing lab practices 

Relevant gene content

Content is carefully selected to include genes and gene regions cited by industry organizations and informed by independent consortia publications and late-stage pharmaceutical research. Content includes single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels with demonstrated involvement in solid tumors.

Comprehensive workflow

The TruSight Tumor 15 assesses 15 genes in a simple, rapid workflow that replaces single, iterative gene testing with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Analyze data with on-instrument reporting software or the TruSight Tumor 15 BaseSpace Sequence Hub App.  

Accelerated tumor profiling

Go from DNA to data in ~36 hours with only 3.5 hours of hands-on time. Maximize sample success rates across multiple tumor types to conserve limited samples and resources. 

Specifications

Required products

Requires purchase of either a TruSight Tumor 15 MiSeq or MiniSeq Kit, or purchase of TruSight Tumor 15 library prep only. All products are sufficient for 24 samples. If opting to purchase TruSight Tumor 15 library prep only, you will also need to separately purchase sequencing reagents for your system. 

The TruSight Tumor 15 MiSeq Kit requires MiSeq Software v2.6 or higher and the Illumina Annotation Engine. Download files
