MEASURE EXTRACTION RECOVERY

A straightforward way to evaluate how much cfDNA your workflow actually recovers.

Spike a known amount of reference material into the sample, perform the extraction, then compare the recovered amount with the known input to calculate percent recovery.

01

Convenient

Five individual thaw-and-use tubes simplify repeat testing.

02

Control

Determine the efficiency of your cfDNA extraction method.

03

Standard

Supports spike-and-recovery cfDNA extraction experiments.

SPIKE · EXTRACT · MEASURE

Turn recovery into a measurable workflow variable.

The reference standard provides a known input so extraction recovery can be calculated rather than assumed.

01

Prepare the Sample

Begin with the plasma or urine sample and your selected extraction workflow.

02

Spike Known Input

Add a known amount of the cfDNA Reference Standard to the sample.

04

Calculate Recovery

Compare the spike-in amount with the recovered amount to determine percent recovery.

REFERENCE MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Mononucleosomal DNA with defined molecular features.

The reference standard contains mononucleosomal DNA derived from the NCI-H441 lung cancer cell line and includes KRAS G12V and TP53 Arg158Leu variants.

The material is deproteinized. Fragment sizes are nucleosome-defined, but histones are removed during purification.

Primary Expected Fragment 150 bp
Dinucleosome 340 bp
Trinucleosome 560 bp
Source NCI-H441
