NGS-screened tissue blocks & sets

Biomarker-screened, characterized specimens with extra data provided. FFPE blocks are sequenced to determine the genomic alterations present. Data provided in an XLSX format, other formats and PDF genomic reports available upon request.

These samples can include:

Common pathogenic or presumed pathogenic variants (e.g., p53, APC)

Variants prevalent in 20-50% of cancers (e.g., EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA)

Highly mutated and rare variants and fusions (e.g., MSI high, TMB high, ALK fusion)

Reach out to us for more detailed information on pricing thresholds and how we do our data analysis.

Matched sets

Matched sets of plasma and buffy coat from healthy and oncology donors. Tumor and normal tissue are available as an add-on for most cases.

Sets include a combination of any of the following specimen types:

High-quality FFPE tissue

Frozen bone marrow for heme malignancies

Double-spun Streck or EDTA plasma and buffy coat

Exact details about our specimen sets (ie. tissue sizes, plasma volumes) are provided in our live inventory.

Tissue blocks

We offer a variety of tissue-based products, including:

Tumor tissue blocks: from the majority of common cancer indications

Preferred normal tissue blocks: adrenal gland, skin, and other sites most commonly used for control tissue in oncology development

To be qualified for our inventory, a block must have:

5mm² tumor area or larger

20% or more tumor inside the designated tumor area

50% or less necrosis inside the designated tumor area

Block thickness of 1mm or more

Blood products

Individual plasma and/or buffy coat aliquots from healthy and oncology donors.

To be qualified for our inventory, plasma and buffy coat must be:

Collected in EDTA or Streck tubes

Double-spun, with a hemolysis score of less than 2

Exact volumes for the plasma and buffy coat included in each blood product set are provided in our live inventory.
