PyroMark™ Q24Benefits An extremely easy to use system - Up to 24 samples in parallel Small Footprint Takes very little bench space Measuring only H420xW390xD525mm Robust Can be run at ambient temperatures between 15°C and 32°C. Runs can be set up and analyzed on any PC anywhere, running PyroMark™Q24 Software. Information is transferred between the instrument and computer via a USB memory stick. Conforms to EU IVDD so suitable for clinical use in Europe
PyroMark™ Q24 Software The software has two analysis modes: AQ - A variety of quantification studies and SNP analysis. CpG - Methylation analysis of multiple consecutive CpG sites. AQ assays and CpG assays can be performed on the same PyroMark™ Q24 Plate. 5 multi licenses You can toggle between the analysis modes in the analysis view of the software, by selecting AQ or CpG in the toolbar. Both modes offer detailed report information that can be exported to html, Excel, text and PDF formats.
PyroMark™ Q24 softwareAQ mode Frequency calculations of variable positions in sequence context including; Single variable position AG/TC Multiple variable positions AG/TCAG/TCAG/T/AC Di- Tri- or Tetra-allelic mutations GA/C/G/TA High resolution of individual sites Quality assessment of individual sites and sequence context SNP analysis (Multiple positions, Di- Tri- or Tetra-allelic variants) Analysis of SNPs in the presence of CpG sites
Mutation exampleKRAS • Mutations in the KRAS gene results in a constitutively active KRAS protein which leads to abnormal cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. • KRAS is frequently mutated in • Colorectal cancer • Lung cancer • The most common KRAS mutations are found in codons 12,13 and 61
