December 2024—Illumina announced it will release TruSight Oncology 500 v2, a new version of its flagship cancer research assay to enable comprehensive genomic profiling. The assay is under development; a worldwide release is planned for midyear 2025.
TSO 500 v2 assesses hundreds of genes across all variant classes, as well as immuno-oncology biomarkers, in a single assay from one sample. Features of the new version include a faster turnaround time and reduced hands-on time; sensitive variant calling and improved coverage of difficult genomic regions; and new kit configurations with 50 percent less packaging, 70 percent fewer tubes, and improved usability.
