The eSensor® CF Genotyping Test on the eSensor® XT-8 System is an in vitro diagnostic device for performing hybridization and genotyping of multiple mutations and/or polymorphisms in an amplified DNA sample. A single-use, disposable test cartridge is used to perform hybridization and genotyping. The cartridge contains an EEPROM chip which transmits the cartridge lot number, expiration date and protocol identity to the XT-8 instrument. The analysis process for each sample consists of three steps: 1) Genomic DNA isolated from whole blood obtained using EDTA as anti-coagulant is combined with PCR Mix and Taq polymerase enzyme and is subjected to amplification of target sequences by PCR using a thermal cycler. 2) Amplified DNA is treated with exomuclease enzyme to generate single-stranded target DNA. 3) Single-stranded, amplified target DNA is mixed with hybridization and genotyping reagents and transferred to an eSensor® CF Genotyping Tet cartinge, and the cartridge is inserted in the eSensor® XT-8 Instrument controls the circulation of the sample inside the cartridge to allow hybridization at a controlled temperature and then detects and genotypes the sample by voltammetry. Genotyping of the test panel polymorphisms is achieved by a sandwich assay principle: 1) Each pair of electrodes contains a different synthetic oligonucleotide capture probe which is complementary to one of the target DNA fragments. 2) The hybridization reagents contain pairs of ferrocenc-labeled synthetic oligonucleotide signal probes; one member of each pair is complementary to the major allele sequence of the target polymorphism, while the second member of the pair is complementary to the minor allele sequence. Each member of the probe pair has a ferrocene label with a different oxidation potential for each allele. 3) Single-stranded, amplificd target DNA hybridizes to its specific capture probe, and in turn hybridizes to the allele-specific, ferrocenc-labeled signal probe. 4) Each electrode of the array is analyzed by voltammetry; the target polymorphism is determined by the location of the electrode containing the capture probe, and the genotype is identified by the ratio of signals from the allclespecific ferrocene labels. The array also includes positive and negative confirm the hybridization reaction and detect non-specific signals. Upon completion of the test, the EEPROM chip on the cartridge contains information that prevents its re-use with a new sample. The eSensor® XT-8 instrument analyzes the results and provides a report of the test results.

InPlex™ CF Molecular Test amplifies specific regions of the CF7R gene in genomic DNA extracted from human whole peripheral blood. Each amplified DNA sample is subsequently mixed with Cleavase® enzyme and buffer then added to a loading port on an InPiex™ microfluidic card. An InPlex™ card contains eight sample-loading ports, each connected to 48 independent reaction chambers. Twenty-eight of these reaction chambers contain dried assay mixes specific for reporting the 23 ACMG/ACOG recommended CF7R mutations and variants. The remaining chambers consist of a "No Invader" Control", an Independent Quality Control. and several unused chambers. After an InPlex™ card is loaded; the channels are mechanically sealed using a micro-fluidic card sealer, isolating each individual reaction chamber from all other chambers. The card is then incubated to allow individual Invader® reactions to occur. Following incubation, the card is read in a multi-well fluorometer and the raw signal data are imported into the InPlex™ CF Molecular Test Call Reporting Software for final result analysis.

The Cystic Fibrosis Genotyping Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device used to genotype a panel of mutations and variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance requlator (CFTR) gene in genomic DNA isolated from human whole blood specimens. The panel includes mutations and variants recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG, 2004) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG, 2005) plus additional multiethnic mutations. The Cystic Fibrosis Genotyping Assay provides information intended to be used for carrier screening in adults of reproductive age, as an aid in newborn screening, and in confirmatory diagnostic testing in newborns and children. This test is not indicated for use in fetal diagnostic or pre-implantation testing. This test is also not indicated for stand-alone diagnostic purposes.

The Cystic Fibrosis Genotyping Assay is designed to genotype the normal and mutant alleles at 30 loci of the CFTR gene using purified human genomic DNA. Genotype coverage includes the panel of 23 mutations recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) 2004 guidelines for use in CF population carrier screening. Coverage also includes 9 additional mutations as part of an expanded core panel to support genetic diversity of multiethnic populations that may be underserved by the ACMG panel alone (e.g. Hispanic, African American). In addition to core panel coverage, the assay is designed to detect polythymidine variants (5/7/9T) within intron 8 of the CFTR gene and polymorphisms (1506V, I507V, and F508C) within Exon 10 of the CFTR gene, in accordance with ACMG guidelines. Purified genomic human DNA is prepared by standard purification methods. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is then performed to amplify the genomic DNA sample with 16 pairs of PCR primers and DNA polymerase. Next, the oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) is performed on the CFTR amplicons. Allele-specific OLA probes hybridize to the respective normal, mutant, and variant alleles and become ligated with fluorescent-labeled common probes by the ligase enzyme. The OLA probes are varied in length due to the addition of inert mobility modifiers. The ligated, fluorescent-labeled DNA fragments are separated on the Celera CEGA-16™ Instrument System by electrophoresis. Detection is based on size and fluorescent label. The ligation products are then identified and genotyped by analysis with the CEGA-16 software and assay-specific configuration disk. The CF GT Assay also contains Reflex OLA reagents for the detection of the polythymidine 5/7/9T variants in intron 8 of the CFTR gene and for the detection of the I506V, I507V, and F508C polymorphisms in Exon 10 of the CFTR gene. The CFTR R117H mutation, along with the 5T variant of the 5/7/9T polymorphism in intron 8 on the same chromosome (cis), can cause classical CF if another CF mutation is present on the other chromosome. As a result, reflex testing for the 5/7/9T variant with the CF 5/7/9T Reflex OLA assay is recommended when the R117H mutation is detected. The CF Exon 10 Reflex OLA assay is used to verify a homozygous deletion of the F508 or 1507 codon and to exclude a potential false-positive result due to interference by certain non-CF causing variants at codons 506, 507, and 508. The CF Exon 10 Reflex OLA assay will distinguish between a true homozygous F508del or I507del from a sample containing one F508del or I507del allele plus the benign variants of I506V, I507V or F508C, respectively. The same software contained on the configuration disk is used to report reflex testing genotyping information.

The eSensor® Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Detection (CFCD) System is a device for the detection of carrier status for cystic fibrosis for all adult couples contemplating pregnancy, regardless of ethnicity. It is a qualitative genotyping assay that simultaneously detects mutations currently recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACMG/ACOG). The eSensor® CFCD System is not indicated for prenatal screening or for diagnostic purposes, and is for Rx only professional use within the confines of a licensed laboratory, as defined by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amminents (CLIA) of 1988.

The eSensor® Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Detection System is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection and genotyping of a selected panel of 24 cystic fibrosis mutations from DNA isolated from human whole blood. The CFCD System is a clinical multiplex genetic test system which includes reagents for polymerase chain reaction amplification, exonuclease digestion and hybridization of target DNA, instrumentation and software. The CFCD System uses electrochemical detection to determine the carrier status of patient blood specimens for the ACOG/ACMG recommended panel of 24 cystic fibrosis mutations. Sample preparation for genotyping involves converting each blood specimentions: "Bunp genomic DNA (gDNA); then using multiplex PCR amplification followed by exonuclease digestion to convert the gDNA into a set of single-stranded targets. The genotyping reaction is set up with the combination of the single-stranded targets with appropriate buffers containing allele-specific signal probes differentially labeled with electrochemical signaling molecules, called ferrocenes. This mixture is then loaded into cartridges that contain single-stranded capture probes bound to an array of electrodes, with each electrode containing capture probess specific for a single mutation. Cartridges are inserted into the eSensor 4800 Instrument where the single-stranded targets hybridize to the complementary sequences of the carture probes and signal probes. Detection of the target/probe complexes is achieved using alternating current voltammetry that generates specific electrical signals from the hybridized signal probes. The eSensor® DNA Detection System Application Software then classifies the signals from each mutation and generates a report for each specimen that describes the carrier or non-carrier status of each of the cystic fibrosis panel mutations.
