Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 is an in vitro diagnostic medical device designed for the standardized assessment of breast cancer biomarkers ER, PGR, HER2, and Ki-67. It operates using GeneXpert® technology, providing results in less than two hours through a semi-automated process.

Specifications
The device simplifies biomarker assessment by automating RNA isolation, reverse transcription, amplification via real-time PCR, and detection within a cartridge-based system. It is not available in all countries, including the United States.

Impact and Need
Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 offers clear and accurate results, empowering oncologists with reliable data. It addresses the need for dependable and objective biomarker results, overcoming challenges such as equivocal HER2 IHC results and variability in ER and PGR assessments.

Solution
The device provides semi-quantitative determination of mRNA levels in FFPE invasive breast cancer sections, using CYFIP1 as a reference gene for normalization. It includes three controls per test and offers external FFPE controls for error identification.

Performance
Results from Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 show high concordance with traditional IHC and FISH methods, with positivity detection cut-offs aligning with ASCO-CAP, St. Gallen Consensus, and ESMO Guidelines.

Workflow
The process involves preparing a sample from an FFPE section, adding lysis reagents, and running the test in a cartridge, with a total runtime of 75 minutes.

Ordering Information
Various kits and controls are available for purchase, including the Xpert® FFPE Lysis Kit and Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 tests.

Contact Information
Corporate headquarters are located in Sunnyvale, CA, with European headquarters in Maurens-Scopont, France. Contact details and further information are available on the company's website.

Workflow Xpert® Breast Cancer STRAT4 is easy to perform and provides results in less than 2 hours with minimal hands-on time One H&E stained FFPE section is used to confirm invasive tumor area. This area is removed (scraped) from an unstained 4 μm section and placed into a lysis tube. Add FFPE lysis reagents, add Proteinase K and heat for 30 min at 80°C. Add ethanol and vortex. Insert cartridge and start test (run time 75 minutes).
