Product catalog summary
Introduction to MicroSight® MSI:
MicroSight® MSI is an innovative method for characterizing microsatellite instability (MSI) in tumors. It offers a quick analysis time of less than 90 minutes, providing clear and objective results that do not depend on user experience. This makes it a valuable tool for guiding treatment decisions.
Key Features:
  • Easy evaluation of MSI with a simple yes or no answer.
  • No need for trained staff due to its unbiased nature.
  • Cost-effective as it requires only a low-cost instrument.
Workflow:
The analysis involves three straightforward steps: DNA purification, PCR running, and data analysis. The method utilizes high-resolution melt analysis to deliver reliable and unbiased results.
Technical Specifications:
  • 100% correlation with fragment analysis.
  • No variation between labs or instruments.
  • Known loci include BAT25, BAT26, NR22, NR24, and MONO27.
  • Compatible with both paired samples and a universal reference.
Technology:
MicroSight® MSI uses PentaBase’s proprietary INA® technology for sensitive detection of MSI status. The evaluation is based on differences in melt curves of probes binding to amplified microsatellites.
Data Analysis:
The high-resolution melt graph and difference plot are used to determine MSI status. A tumor is classified as MSI if the difference graph crosses the red, dotted line.
About PentaBase:
PentaBase is an ISO-certified company specializing in real-time PCR technologies. Founded in Denmark in 2006, it focuses on developing in vitro diagnostic assays and manufacturing PCR probes, particularly for detecting somatic mutations in cancer.

MicroSight® MSI Assays-2

MicroSight MSI relies on PentaBase’s proprietary INA® technology that enables highly sensitive detection of microsatellite instability status. The method is based on high-resolution melt and runs on a single instrument, lowering hands-on time and duration of entire analysis. Evaluation of MSI-H status is performed on the basis of differences in melt curves of probes binding to the amplified microsatellites. 100% correlation with fragment analysis No inter-lab and inter-instrument variation Known loci - BAT25, BAT26, NR22, NR24 and MONO27 Can be used with both paired samples and a universal reference...
