OncoStrands® DNA 68 > DNA Laboratories Staging Site

Specimen Requirements
Clinical usage	A 68-genes hybrid capture NGS panel with coverage of full coding regions of 68 key cancer-related genes (plus TERT promoter region), including BRCA1/2. NOTE: Can be ordered in combination with 18 genes Essential Fusion if screening for fusions is clinically important
Type of sample	Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) Tissue/Cell Block (preferred) or 10 x 5µm unstained slides of FFPE tissue mounted on uncoated slides + 1 H&E stained slide
Surface Area & Tumour Purity	Minimum surface area of 5 x 5 mm2 per slide. If the tissue area is smaller, please provide additional 5 -10 5µm unstained slides. At least 10% tumour purity per slide.
Storage & transportation	Please keep at room temperature. Do not freeze, and keep away from direct sunlight.
Turnaround Time (TAT)	2 – 3 weeks
