Minimal residual disease (MRD) testing

Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) testing is a highly sensitive and crucial technique used to detect very low levels of cancer cells that remain in the body after treatment. Even when clinical remission is achieved, these residual cells can lead to disease relapse. At OHMX.bio, we understand the critical importance of accurately identifying these minute levels of disease to guide personalized patient management and improve outcomes.

Our expertise in MRD detection

OHMX.bio offers advanced MRD testing solutions leveraging our deep expertise in both next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technologies. Our sensitive detection methods are designed to identify minute levels of disease in various sample types, including blood, bone marrow, and tissue biopsies, supporting critical research in oncology and hematology.

How sequencing powers MRD detection

Our state-of-the-art sequencing platforms provide a powerful and comprehensive approach to MRD detection, allowing for broad genomic and transcriptomic profiling.

High Sensitivity and Specificity

Our NGS capabilities enable the detection of low-frequency variants and rare mutations with high confidence, crucial for identifying residual disease that might be missed by less sensitive methods.

Comprehensive Genomic Profiling

We can identify specific genetic mutations and structural changes indicative of residual cancer cells, even at very low abundance. This is particularly valuable for monitoring key mutations and expression changes in clinical phases.

Transcriptomic Insights

RNA sequencing allows for the analysis of gene expression patterns specific to cancer cells, providing another layer of sensitivity for MRD detection and understanding disease mechanisms.

Deep Variant Analysis

Utilizing advanced bioinformatics tools like our deep variant analysis pipeline, combined with the unparalleled read-accuracy of the Element Biosciences AVITI sequencer (>90% Q40), we achieve unprecedented accuracy in detecting rare mutations in samples.

Customization

We can develop custom enrichment kits for targeted approaches, focusing on specific regions or genes of interest with high accuracy and sensitivity to optimize MRD detection for unique project requirements.

How qPCR assists clinical studies with MRD

While sequencing offers a broad view, qPCR provides a highly sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective method for targeted MRD monitoring.

Targeted and Rapid Detection

qPCR is ideal for quickly and precisely quantifying known genetic markers associated with a patient's specific cancer, making it an excellent tool for longitudinal monitoring during and after treatment.

Validation and Scalability

Biomarkers initially discovered through RNA sequencing can be translated downstream to more scalable solutions like qPCR for routine monitoring in clinical trials.

Custom Primer Design

For novel or unique targets, OHMX.bio can design custom primers tailored to your specific gene or sequence of interest, ensuring highly focused and sensitive detection.

Adherence to Quality Guidelines

We adhere to MIQE (Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments) guidelines, ensuring high-quality, reproducible, and transparent qPCR results for your clinical studies.

Integrated bioinformatics for actionable insights

Our MRD services are underpinned by robust bioinformatics pipelines tailored for large-scale data processing and interpretation. Our expert team ensures accurate and reproducible results, delivering comprehensive reports that transform complex data into actionable insights for clinical decision-making.
