Which kit has shown good results so far in order to get good quantity of circulating tumor DNA.?
what average amount of circulating DNA can we expect from cancer patients blood (plasma and serum)?
QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit
We are using Qiagen and it is working best in my lab system ..
Thanks Sandeep and Gaurav..
Gaurav how do you process the blood for ctDNA isolation? If you use plasma, then when do you process it after collection and how do you store the plasma until it is processed for isolation of ct DNA?
Thank you
