Challenges of
formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE)
samples plague many cancer researchers looking to unlock archival samples with
retrospective clinical data.
Standard array comparative genomic hybridization
(CGH) methods result in high sample failure rates and low dynamic range,
require a high amount of
input DNA and provide only copy number information.
Affymetrix has introduced the OncoScan FFPE Express Service, formerly MIP Copy
Number Service, to
help cancer researchers leverage the least amount of input
DNA to detect the broadest linear range of 0 to 60 copies, and quickly data
mine copy
number, allelic ratio and somatic mutation data in fresh,
fresh-frozen and archival FFPE with unparalleled accuracy and quality.
