Mimix™ Geni™ Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD
The Mimix™ Geni™ Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD is an industry first pan-cancer dual DNA/RNA reference material developed in collaboration with the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC). Mutations with clinical relevance in oncology testing, as selected by a committee of industry experts, have been engineered into the GM24385 Genome-in-a-Bottle Consortium cell line, providing a highly characterized somatic cancer reference standard (SRS) you can trust to verify and monitor your oncology detection assays and workflow.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use. This product is only available where licensed in accordance with law. Please contact your local representative for availability.
Product name change
As part of the continuous evolution of our portfolio, we have changed the name of our range to Mimix™ reference standards to better reflect the patient-like performance they provide.
While our product range has a new name, everything you rely on remains the same:
- Identical formulation and performance
- Same part numbers and SKUs
- Existing protocols and procedures
- Same technical specifications
- Quality and reliability you trust
No action is required from you. Future orders, product labels, documentation, and communications will reference the new product name.
The Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD is a highly characterized somatic cancer reference standard developed in collaboration with the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) as part of the Somatic Reference Samples (SRS) Initiative led by MDIC to help clinical diagnostic labs improve the accuracy of their cancer diagnostic assays. These new somatic cancer reference standards have been developed from the Genome-in-a-Bottle Consortium (GIAB) cell line, recognized by the industry as one of the most tested and trusted cell lines available. Revvity has engineered the GM24385 GIAB cell line to contain 7 cancer-relevant mutations selected by the SRS steering committee of industry experts. The mutations include 2 single nucleotide variants, 1 multi-nucleotide variant, 2 indels, and 2 gene fusions. MDIC has tested and verified this material. The reference standards will be sent to multiple labs for interlab validation and the report will be made available once complete in 2026. There is also a negative control available (HD876-IVD) which can be used as a wildtype or matched negative control for Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE reference standard IVD.

The Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD comes with batch-specific NGS data. You can access the VCF file here. Each batch was sequenced using Agilent's CREV4 (Clinical Research Exome) kit at a depth of 500x on AVITI™ platform and run through the Illumina® DRAGEN™ Somatic Pipeline for mapping, sorting, and variant calling.

Intended Use Statement:
The MimixTM GeniTM Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD is a commutable control material comprising a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) curl made from a multiplex of 7 engineered cell lines from the GM24385 Genome in a Bottle Consortium Cell line (GIAB), containing 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 2 gene fusions. It is intended for quantitative and/or qualitative monitoring of next-generation sequencing (NGS) or droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) assays designed to detect somatic mutations and gene fusions in genomic DNA (gDNA) or RNA from human samples for in vitro diagnostic use.
The gDNA or RNA obtained from Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard IVD can be used to monitor NGS or ddPCR workflows, test performance, assay variation and helps identify increases in random or systematic errors. This product is for professional laboratory use only.
