GeneWell FFPE reference standards eliminate the variability associated with patient-derived reference standards, and avoid the hassle of sourcing, characterizing, and documenting your own cell line mixes.
GeneWell FFPE products are all derived from human cell lines. Using a proprietary method of mild fixation and homogenous paraffin embedding, we generate highly-reproducible and consistent FFPE curls. With any commercially available FFPE extraction protocol, our standards yield high molecular weight DNA. This format ensures that they may applied to a wide-range of assays including qPCR, Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing, mass array, and more.
The standards are diluted using the corresponding wild type standard to generate a lower allelic frequencies for limit of detection studies and validation of your pre-analytical phase of the workflow.
GeneWell FFPE reference standards cover multiple engineered nucleotide variants (SNVs/SNPs) with clinically-relevant mutations such as EGFR, KRAS, ALK, MET etc. Batch-specific copy number values measured via ddPCR are provided.
These FFPE controls contain a series of multiplex and singleplex version available. Most products centered at 5% allelic frequency and a matched wildtype.
Our FFPEA controls are produced as follows:
Structural Multiplex Reference Standards
SNVMultiplex Reference Standards
Wild Type controls
