Mimix™ BRAF Wild Type Reference Standard

The BRAF Wild Type Reference Standard is a highly-characterized, biologically-relevant quality control material used to assess the performance of assays that detect somatic mutations, such as Sanger and qPCR sequencing assays.

Horizon DNA standards eliminate the variability associated with patient-derived reference standards, and avoid the hassle of sourcing, characterizing, and documenting your own cell line mixes. The standard may be used to dilute corresponding variant standard to generate lower allelic frequencies for limit of detection studies. Horizon’s Base-Seq products are all derived from human cell lines, and are high molecular weight DNA. This format ensures that they may be applied to a wide-range of assays including qPCR, Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing, mass array, and more.

With this product you are able to:

  • Analyze the sensitivity of your assay
  • Gain certainty of the limit of detection
  • Optimize and validate new cancer panels and routinely monitor the performance of your assay
