FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GT Molecular, Inc., a leader in developing ultra-sensitive PCR assays for cancer research, pathogen detection, and wastewater-based epidemiology testing, is adding to its cancer molecular assay product line with a multi-target RT-PCR assay kit featuring robust quality control metrics and internal process controls. The GT Real-Time KRAS G12-G13 Typing PCR Kit targets common mutations found in many human cancers. This assay kit is designed and optimized for the Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR systems. For other platforms, please contact us!

Key Benefits Include:

Broad coverage – Discriminates eight relevant mutations found in the human KRAS gene: G12C, G12V, G12S, G12A, G12R, G12D, G13C, and G13D.
Ultra-sensitive, low input DNA assay with GT Molecular's proprietary GT-Plex™ chemistry, the kit achieves 0.01 - 0.03% variant allele frequency (VAF) across all mutations for improved detection limits compared with similar assays on the market – even compared to digital PCR assays.
Economical and fast – Results in a few hours.
Sample flexibility – Suitable for FFPE and plasma samples.

Additional offerings from GT Molecular include:

PCR Kits as well as a rapid national digital PCR and NGS testing services for oncology, SARS-CoV-2, variants, and multiple pathogens including influenza A/B & H5N1, RSV, C. auris, polio, and others.

The company is empowering hundreds of academic, commercial, and public testing laboratories worldwide with its easy-to-use and accurate PCR assay kits as well as its national testing and sequencing services.
