Oncology IVD PCR Assays
EpiDirect® MGMT Methylation qPCR Assay
The EpiDirect® MGMT Methylation qPCR Assay represents a new and innovative approach allowing for direct quantification of MGMT promoter methylation by qPCR without prior DNA conversion.
The EpiDirect® technology is based on our unique INA® chemistry and includes an EpiPrimer™ oligonucleotide that specifically binds and primes amplification of methylated target DNA.
The assay is able to quantify MGMT promoter methylation using standard real-time PCR instruments* in just two hours with as little as 0.5 ng of unconverted input DNA.
- Standard qPCR instrument procedure
- No need for prior conversion of DNA
- Results in less than 2 hours
- 1.5-3% LoD methylation
- Minimal hands-on time
- 0.5-50 ng input DNA
- CE IVD

MicroSight® MSI 1-Step HRM Analysis Assay
MicroSight® MSI is a simple and fast method for evaluating microsatellite instability (MSI) status of human DNA. The analysis is based on PentaBase’s proprietary INA® technology that enables fast and easy detection of microsatellite instability status by real-time PCR and high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis.
MicroSight® MSI requires very little hands-on time and enables evaluation of patient microsatellite status of purified human genomic DNA in less than one and a half hours for fast treatment guidance of cancer patients.
MicroSight® MSI can be used for analysis of both paired and unpaired tumour samples. Evaluation of unpaired tumour samples is done by comparison to an included universal reference. Up to 7 unpaired tumour samples can be analysed in each real-time PCR run.
- Used with BaseTyper 48.4 real-time PCR system
- Paired and unpaired sample analysis
- Semi-automatic objective analysis
- Results in less than 2 hours
- Minimal hands-on time
- CE IVD
