   AccuGenomics NGS internal standards improve the accuracy and performance of clinical sequencing for better patient outcomes. The rapid pace of innovation in sequencing-based diagnostics continues to push the limits of detectability for low abundance biomarkers, increasing the need to demonstrate the analytical performance of these tests for patients and healthcare providers. AccuGenomics is actively developing technology based solutions that enable test developers and users to demonstrate the highest performance levels of their assay.AccuGenomics can improve the diagnostic accuracy and confidence in today’s next generation precision medicine assays to enable a host of highly sensitive NGS applications including improved detection of rare variants in ctDNA/liquid biopsy samples. We have purpose built off-the-shelf materials for CRC/NSCLC, AMP, TP53 and other clinically important target classes, and have significant experience with creating novel standards to improve CNV and fusion calling for our clients. We partner to deliver materials that improve NGS accuracy and verify the true LOD for each sample tested.
