Mimix™ Prostate Cancer Panel FFPE Reference Standard
The Prostate Cancer Panel FFPE Reference Standard is a well-characterized, cell line-derived control material manufactured under ISO:13485 that contains 16 variants across 9 genes clinically relevant to prostate cancer. This innovative, multigene multiplex product allows labs to perform fast, reliable, and cost-effective validation of prostate cancer assays using FFPE samples, saving the user time and money to achieve their quality assurance goals faster. Additionally, it allows the user to assess the performance of FFPE-based assays crucial for routine clinical diagnostics. Like all Revvity Mimix reference standards, it closely mimics patient samples used in diagnostic workflows.
Batch-specific supplementary NGS data
The Prostate Cancer Panel FFPE Reference Standard comes with a batch specific supplementary 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 250x on Illumina platform and run through the Illumina DRAGEN Somatic Pipeline for mapping, sorting, and variant calling.
