Genexus™ Primer Pool Tubes

The capacity of the GX5 Chip varies depending on the sample type:
- For plasma cfTNA samples, the workflow is configured to accommodate 1 sample per GX5 Chip lane (or 4 samples on a single GX5 Chip).
- For FFPE DNA+RNA samples, the workflow is configured to accommodate 4 samples per GX5 Chip lane.
- For FFPE DNA-only or RNA-only samples, the workflow is configured to accommodate 8 samples per GX5 Chip lane.

The maximum number of samples that can be analyzed per kit depends upon the type of analysis that you want to perform. Each kit provides the targeted pancancer panel and library reagents sufficient to perform up to 32 sequencing reactions on the Genexus Integrated Sequencer.

- Simultaneous DNA- and RNA-based variant analysis for up to 16 FFPE tissue samples (one DNA reaction and one RNA reaction per sample)
- DNA-only or RNA-only variant analysis for up to 32 FFPE tissue samples
- Cell-free TNA (cfTNA) variant analysis (combined DNA and RNA) for up to 32 plasma samples

For solid tumor samples, the optimal input amount is 10 ng with validated input in the range of 5-15 ng. For liquid biopsy samples, the optimal input amount is 20 ng with validated input in the range of 5-40 ng.

For optimal results, load 20 µL of input with a concentration of ≥0.67 ng/µL for FFPE DNA and FFPE RNA samples and 20 µL of input with a concentration of ≥1.33 ng/µL for cfTNA samples. If the concentration of the sample is lower than optimal, use as much input as possible for each reaction.
