Oncology Sample Prep Solutions

Every oncology sample tells a story—but only if you can extract it reliably. Promega's extraction solutions are designed for consistent quality and performance from even the most demanding sample types in cancer workflows, including liquid biopsy and FFPE tissues. Whether you need a flexible manual kit or a fully automated high-throughput workflow, we have options to match your scale. We are ready to help you choose, implement and optimize the right solution for your lab.

Liquid Biopsy Extractions

Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) and miRNA signatures can signal cancer progression earlier than conventional imaging—but only with extraction sensitive enough to capture them. Promega offers ccfDNA and miRNA extraction kits from plasma or serum, in benchtop automation and plate-based high-throughput formats, to deliver the yield and purity your workflows demand. 
Equivalent CE-IVD kits are available in certain countries. Explore more options here!

FFPE Tissue Extractions

FFPE preservation chemistry degrades and cross-links nucleic acids, making reliable extraction a real challenge. The Maxwell® kits highlighted below are optimized for automated, medium-throughput FFPE DNA and RNA extraction, delivering consistent quality with minimal hands-on time. We also offer manual and 96-well plate format FFPE extraction solutions for labs with different throughput needs. Reach out and we'll help you find the right solution.

Microbiome

Many extraction methods for fecal microbiome DNA involve several manual processing steps and mechanical disruption. The Maxwell® Fecal Microbiome DNA Kits provide easier, automated options for efficiently purifying microbiome DNA for characterization in downstream assays including qPCR and next-gen sequencing.
