The kit is designed for early non-invasive diagnosis of prostate cancer by detection of the TMPRSS2-ERG chimeric gene and determination of the level of expression of the PCA3 gene, specific for prostate cancer, in relation to the level of the KLK3 gene, characteristic only for prostate tissue.
• It is an additional criterion when prescribing a primary or repeated prostate biopsy to a patient.
• Material for the assay can be collected without special preparation of the patient.
• The risk of contamination is reduced due to the inclusion of uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG) and 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (dUTP) in the reaction mix.
✅The kit is compatible with almost all RT-PCR devices.
