MRD Reference Standards – For Ultra-Low Frequency ctDNA Detection
40+ pathogenic variants across 30+ genes, validated down to 0.005% VAF for MRD research
Product Center
Product Introduce
CB-Gene’s Package-Ref™ MRD Cocktail Reference Standard is designed specifically for ultra-low frequency ctDNA detection. It contains 30+ genes and 40+ pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants, including SNVs, insertions, deletions, and fusions. Using optimized ddPCR with >6000 copies per well, we have precisely characterized variants at 0.5% VAF, with serial dilution validation down to 0.05% and 0.005% VAF – levels that simulate real-world MRD detection challenges (NSCLC requires stable detection of ≥0.02% ctDNA).
Product Advantages
Our HRD Reference Standards to ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of HRD testing in clinical diagnostics and research, standardized reference materials are essential.
40+ pathogenic variants
Across 30+ genes, all with clinical significance (Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic).
Diverse mutation types
Includes SNVs, insertions, deletions, frameshift, in-frame, nonsense, missense, splice-site, and fusions.
Serial dilution ready
High-frequency anchor variants (e.g., BRAF V600E at 5%) enable accurate dilution factor verification for 0.05% and 0.005% levels.
Ultra-low frequency validation
ddPCR-characterized at 0.5% VAF; dilution-validated at 0.05% and 0.005% VAF.
High-copy ddPCR calibration
>6000 copies per well at 0.5% to distinguish true positives from LOB; >12,000 copies for ultra-low frequency validation.
Dual-route compatible
Suitable for both tumor-informed assays (personalized panels) and tumor-agnostic assays (fixed panels).
