Overview

TruSight Oncology 500 High-Throughput (HT) is a highly scalable pan-cancer, next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay that enables in-house comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) from FFPE tissue.  

  • Targets 523 genes to assess all DNA and RNA variant types (SNV, CNV, indels, fusions), plus MSI and TMB 

  • Delivers accurate results with hybrid–capture chemistry and sophisticated bioinformatics 

  • Reduces hands-on time and increases scalability with optional automation kits and methods*

  • Accomodates 16-192 samples with NovaSeq 6000 and 32 - 960 samples with the NovaSeq X Series per run

Meaningful results

Evaluate > 500 pan-cancer biomarkers aligned with guidelines and clinical trials to increase chances of finding a positive biomarker with a single assay.  

Streamlined workflow

Get results in 4–5 days using manual or automated workflows integrated with ready-to-use DRAGEN secondary analysis pipelines via on-premises server or in the cloud with Illumina Connected Analytics. Access an integrated interpretation report through Illumina Connected Insights or Pierian. 

* Automation available on the Beckman Coulter iSeries or the Hamilton Microlab STAR. Contact Illumina Sales for more information.

Not available in all countries. Illumina Connected Insights supports user-defined tertiary analysis through API calls to third-party knowledge sources.
