Deep next generation sequencing of gene panel for melanoma associated mutation detection
Specimen Requirements
Collection:
FFPE sections, 5-10 sections are recommended at 4 to 10 micron. A minimum of 20 ?l of each DNA and RNA with a concentration of at least 5ng/?l and an OD260/280 ratio of 1.7-1.9 and 2.0-2.1 respectively, obtained on a spectrophotometer is required.
Stability:
FFPE blocks- Indefinitely/ FFPE Slides-4 weeks
Unacceptable Conditions:
Specimen submitted is in the incorrect fixative. Insufficient specimen (less than 10% of tumor). Unlabeled or improperly labeled specimens. Decalcified specimens. Improperly stored DNA or RNA.
Storage & Transport
Store FFPE blocks and slides at room temperature. Genomic DNA must be stored at 2–8°C for several weeks post extraction, then at –15 to –25°C for long term storage and RNA must be stored at –60 to –85°C.
