Overview
The FUSIONPlex® Lung v2 panel is designed for RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) using the patented Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) technology.
AMP™ (Anchored Multiplex PCR) technology is a patented targeted enrichment platform for next-generation sequencing (NGS). It is based on the use of unidirectional gene-specific primers (GSPs) and molecular adapters with unique molecular barcodes (MBCs), which are ligated to the genetic material before amplification. This strategy enables the efficient capture and amplification of DNA, RNA or cfDNA fragments, even in the presence of unknown mutations or highly fragmented sequences.
The anchored primer architecture supports a flexible design and reduces information loss during library preparation. Combined with Archer™ Analysis software, AMP™ enables systematic error correction, read deduplication and accurate quantification of the original molecules, facilitating the detection of point variants, indels, gene fusions and copy number alterations with high sensitivity and specificity.
Non-small cell lung cancerProtocol
Standard version
The panel is designed for use with Illumina® and Ion Torrent™ sequencers. The efficient workflow is structured around two rounds of multiplex PCR, with library preparation completed in approximately 1.5 days. It requires a minimum amount of RNA or total nucleic acid (TNA), typically between 10 and 250 ng, extracted from FFPE samples or other clinical sources.
HT version (high throughput)
The panel is optimised for high-throughput workflows and Illumina® sequencers. It enables the simultaneous preparation of multiple libraries in 96-well plates, using a scalable and automatable protocol that retains the sensitivity and accuracy of the standard design. An input amount of between 10 and 200 ng of RNA or TNA per sample is recommended, making it suitable for laboratories with high analytical workloads.
