The DEPArray Kits streamline and optimize the analysis of FFPE samples by providing DEPArray users a fast and easy workflow, for a precise genetic analysis on pure cancer and stromal cell populations.
The workflow includes:
DEPArray™ FFPE SamplePrep Kit
The DEPArray FFPE SamplePrep Kit is intended for the dissociation of FFPE human tissue sections into a cell suspension and the subsequent immunofluorescence staining by anti-keratin and anti-vimentin antibodies.
The kit allows the detection, identification and isolation of vimentin-positive stromal cells and keratin-positive putative cancer cells with DEPArray system.

This product contains reagents that are subjected to specific Limitations of Use*.
DEPArray™ FFPE QC Kit
Formalin-fixation causes fragmentation and chemical modifications in DNA, posing significant challenges for molecular assays, such as downstream NGS applications. The DEPArray FFPE QC Kit has been developed to assess the DNA integrity of cell suspensions obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of human origin prior to DEPArray experiments and NGS library preparation.
DNA quality assessment is performed by a qPCR-based assay using two different primer pairs that produce amplicons of 54 bp and 132 bp. The quality of DNA is inferred by the difference in quantification cycles (Cq) obtained with the long amplicon assay and the short amplicon assay for a given sample.
The QC score, coupled with ploidy information, allows to predict the outcome of NGS library preparation, providing a useful tool to infer the minimum recommended number of cells to obtain a given NGS performance level.
DEPArray™ LysePrep Kit
DEPArray LysePrep Kit has been optimized for the lysis of up to 1500 fresh or fixed cells in order to release genomic DNA. The cells lysate obtained can be used directly for subsequent DNA analysis (Targeted PCR, NGS library preparation for Ion Torrent and Illumina platforms).

Main Features
DEPArray™ OncoSeek Panel for Illumina®
The DEPArray OncoSeek Panel enables the preparation of high-quality targeted NGS libraries from FFPE cell populations isolated with the DEPArray technology or from fresh tissue. It allows the simultaneous detection of SNVs, indels and CNAs from 63 oncology relevant genes starting from very low amount of input DNA, such as 60 fresh/unfixed cells corresponding to about 400pg DNA and around 100-300 FFPE cells depending on quality according to DEPArray FFPE QC Kit results.
The kit utilizes Illumina-compatible adapter sequences and has been validated on Illumina platforms.
Main Features
DEPArray™ LibPrep Kit for Illumina®
The DEPArray LibPrep enables the preparation of Illumina-compatible DNA libraries suitable for genome-wide Copy Number Alteration (CNA) profiling starting from low input DEPArray-sorted FFPE cell populations. Excellent assay performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity hinges on the purity of the input samples, obtained by DEPArray sorting. The kit is also compatible with unsorted cell populations as well as purified human genomic DNA (hgDNA).Main Features
