The only ultrasensitive ctDNA assay designed specifically for monitoring molecular response & MRD

Measuring Molecular Response requires an assay that is cost effective over many time points, highly sensitive and specific, fast, quantitative and efficient with sample volume.

Unlimited time points

Fixed pricing for an unlimited number of timepoints per patient over the course of a study. The Tracer assay works with blood and urine samples.

Ultrasensitive assay

Per volume sensitivity and specificity best in the industry. Effective at lower blood volumes than conventional NGS-based ctDNA assays.

Rapid turnaround

Leverage existing biomarker data for initial tumor-informed assay design and validation. Sub 7-day turnaround for subsequent samples.

Personalized dPCR

The first tumor-informed ctDNA assay based on the digital PCR platform: industry leading sensitivity, specificity, and speed for unlimited timepoints.

Longitudinal Monitoring

Supports continuous monitoring of the patient's molecular response over an extended period, enabling scientists and clinicians to track changes in real-time. Overlay radiomics and other temporal data through visual dashboards.

Quantitative

Accurately quantifies molecular response and changes in tumor fraction over time through the integration of longitudinal timepoints.

Specificity

Each Tracer personalized assay is designed from tumor-derived variants excluding non-cancerous CHIP alterations.

High Sensitivity

Tracer detects minute changes in Tumor Fraction and very low levels of residual disease, as low as 10 ppm.

Non-invasive

The Tracer assay detects ctDNA in Blood and Urine.

Minimal Sample Requirement

Conventional (NGS) blood-based ctDNA assays require large sample volumes and have high failure rates. Tracer has significantly lower volume requirements.

Fast

Tracer can leverage existing biomarker data for initial tumor-informed assay design and validation. Sub 7 day turnaround for subsequent samples.
