Confidently qualify cfDNA samples independent from contamination

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) quantity and quality is variable, and samples are often contaminated with larger, high molecular weight (HMW) DNA. That’s why it is important to perform a DNA quality check to ensure the success of high-cost analyses, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS). The new cell-free DNA ScreenTape assay for Agilent 4150 and 4200 TapeStation systems is the only assay that lets you accurately quantify cfDNA samples independent of HMW DNA

  • Automated qualification – count on the digital assessment of %cfDNA to confirm sample quality
  • High sensitivity – even with low sample amounts and concentrations (100 to 4,000 pg/μL)
  • Excellent accuracy and precision – reliably quantify and size cfDNA from 50 to 800 bp

How to quantify and qualify your cfDNA – impact of preanalytics on sample quality

Accurate quantification of cfDNA samples is essential to determine suitable input amounts for cfDNA library preparation to ensure best possible sequencing results.

The webinar will show various sample profiles after electrophoretic separation with a new cfDNA assay. The results demonstrate the effect of variations in preanalytical treatments like storage time, storage conditions and extraction methods.

You will learn how to quantify and qualify your cfDNA samples to monitor the optimization of preanalytical parameters as well as how to ensure that your samples are “fit for purpose”.
