Accurate

PyroMark™Q24 Runs can be set up and analyzed on any computer anywhere, running PyroMark™Q24 Software. Information is transferred between the instrument and computer via a USB memory stick.

Pyrosequencing Technology A non destructive technology that enables further template analysis Ideal for paraffin embedded samples An extensive database of assays is available via the Biotagebio.com site

Pyrosequencing for the clinic Pyrosequencing offers a Gold Standard for genetic testing Reproducible sequence data with built-in QC is most appropriate for a clinical decision Pyrosequencing is easier, faster and cheaper than traditional sequencing Pyrosequencing quantifies the proportion of mutant cells among normal cells In contrast, hybridization assays with differential probes: require subjective interpretation have no inherent QC

Vacuum Prep Workstation The PCR products have to be processed to yield single-stranded DNA to which a sequencing primer can be annealed. Samples to be analyzed using PyroMark™Q24 should be prepared, using PyroMark™Q24 Vacuum Prep Workstation.

Q24 Vacuum Prep Workstation 1-24 post-PCR samples prepared in parallel in less than 15 minutes Minimal pipetting Actual hands-on time, less than 1 minute Plastic waste reduced to a minimum

PyroMark Q24 Software The software has two analysis modes: AQ A variety of quantification studies and SNP analysis. CpG Methylation analysis in multiple consecutive CpG sites. AQ assays and CpG assays can be performed on the same PyroMark™Q24 Plate. You can toggle between the analysis modes in the analysis view of the software, by selecting AQ or CpG in the toolbar. Both modes offer detailed report information that can be exported to html, excel, text and pdf formats.

PyroMarkTM Q24 CpG Methylation Bisulfite conversion of DNA PCR Sample Prep Pyrosequencing ~ 2h ~ 15 min ~ 10 min

CpG Methylation Analysis Quantitative analysis of multiple consecutive sites Flexible assay design Forward – reverse/ Upper – lower Flexible primer positioning Built-in Bisulfite treatment control Excellent Performance - Accuracy - Precision - Reproducibility over time Confidently discern even small changes in methylation Fast results

CpG mode Analyze methylation in the presence of SNP:s Suitable for analysis of fresh-frozen, fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens Present deviation from predefined methylation ranges Quality assessment of individual sites and sequence context Mean methylation for the whole assay shown for quick overview of results Many assays have been validated using Pyrosequencing technology 24 samples analyzed in parallel in 1 hour after PCR

A Robust, Accurate System Accuracy - Linear response in measured methylation Methylation levels are consistent even when using different primers Confidently measure the individual degree of methylation in adjacent CpG sites, even at long distances from the sequencing primer Easily handles varying methylation levels from site to site Detects site variation reproducibly

CpG methylation studies with PyroMarkTMQ24 Any single CpG site Multiple consecutive CpG sites One gene at a time Several genes in the same analysis (analyze up to 24 different assays in one run) Global methylation level Estimate the global methylation levels using repetitive elements

Quantification of individual CpG sites Methylation levels may vary from site to site Pyro Q-CpG detects site variation reproducibly Methylation pattern in RASSF1A in neighboring CpG sites in 4 tumor samples (duplicate runs)

AQ mode Quantification of di-, tri-, or tetra-allelic mutations Analysis of SNPs in the presence of methylation Fast results – typically 15 minutes after PCR to run a typical SNP plate multiple plates can be run each day

Pyrosequencing delivers quantitative and reproducible data A unique property of Pyrosequencing detection is that peak height is directly proportional to the relative quantity of a given allele. This makes possible the quantification of the relative amount of mutant alleles to normal alleles, the importance of which is illustrated in the genotyping of the JAK2 mutation.
