Hi all! I am trying to optimize cfDNA extraction testing different kits with commercial samples (artificial plasma). For some reason one set of samples does not work well with the magnetic beads kit. What do you think is inhibiting the binding? pH? Some chemicals present in the commercial samples? I recover 10x less the estimated amount so there must be some incompatibility... Thanks in advance.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
