EKF Diagnostics offers its EKF Molecular Diagnostics’ PointMan DNA enrichment kits. The three kits are for enriching mutations in BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR T790M genes associated with skin melanoma and colorectal and lung cancers. PointMan kits provide highly specific and ultrasensitive enrichment of mutant genes in a background of wild-type (normal) genes.
PointMan real-time PCR technology provides reliable and extremely sensitive detection for cancer mutations. The technology is highly efficient at amplifying the target sequence of interest, while suppressing amplification of the wild type. The resulting sample is effectively enriched for the mutation.
PointMan DNA enrichment kits can also be used to enrich all mutant sequences within the gene of interest using a single set of reagents. These kits offer fast, efficient, and cost-effective enrichment of mutant gene sequences for researchers in the pharmaceutical industry who are developing anti-cancer therapies.
The three PointMan kits, now for research-use only, are the PointMan BRAF DNA enrichment kit, PointMan KRAS DNA enrichment kit, and PointMan EGFR T790M DNA enrichment kit.
