High Definition PCR (HDPCR™) NSCLC, Research Use Only (RUO), multiplexed panel provides sample-to-results
in 24 hours for NSCLC variants

ChromaCode’s HDPCR technology enhances your lab’s molecular profiling capabilities by enabling you to perform molecular profiling services in-house without the high cost and complexity of implementing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). HDPCR pairs proprietary innovations in chemistry and software to deliver the highest level of multiplexing, previously impossible using digital PCR (dPCR).

Key Benefits of
HDPCR NSCLC Panel

  • 24-hour turnaround from sample to results matches PD-L1 testing turnaround.
  • As low as 15ng input DNA; and 5ng input RNA significantly lower sample requirements than hybrid capture NGS methods.
  • >99% coverage of NCCN* guideline directed clinically relevant variants.**
  • 99% concordance with next generation sequencing (NGS).

Main Features of the
HDPCR NSCLC Panel

  • Multiple analytes in a single assay – single nucleotide variants (SNV), insertions and deletions (indels) and fusions.
  • Compatible with multiple sample types – FFPE (surgical resections, core needle biopsies and fine needle aspirates).
  • Eliminates sequential single gene testing.
  • Automated interpretation eliminates the need for manual data inspection – the ChromaCode Cloud provides cloud-based analyses that are streamlined and scalable to rapidly generate a results report, no hardware or software install required.

“MedGenome Labs remains committed to introducing innovative omics-based technologies for oncology diagnostics. We are delighted to partner with ChromaCode to bring this groundbreaking technology for pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications to India and the Middle East. We value the exceptional quality of the technology and rapid turnaround time and the global vision of ChromaCode, and we believe this alliance will be instrumental in our efforts to deliver accessible and high-quality healthcare.”
