High throughput platforms such as Next generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) platforms give researchers much greater power when profiling cfDNA samples. However, the use of these presents challenges surrounding sample variability, platform bias, and potential failure to detect biomarkers. Horizon’s cfDNA products are all derived from human cell lines, and are fragmented to an average size of 160 bp to closely resemble cfDNA extracted from human plasma.

This format ensures that they may applied to a wide-range of cfDNA NGS and qPCR assays including high-throughput platforms such as NGS and qPCR give researchers greater power when profiling cfDNA samples. Horizon has developed the cfDNA Reference Standard range to support the development and continued validation of cfDNA assays.

The Multiplex I cfDNA Reference Standard Set covers multiple engineered single nucleotide variants (SNVs/SNPs) with 8 mutations at 5%, 1%, and 0.1% allelic frequencies. Batch-specific copy number values measured via ddPCR are provided with each Set.
