Benefits
- Detect confidently—A unique outlier detection algorithm leverages position-specific data to enable variant detection even at low allele frequencies, one of the many ways that Archer Analysis empowers you to detect confidently.
- Less QNS—Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) chemistry is designed for compatibility with a wide range of sample types, including low-input and degraded samples such as FFPE tissue.
- Achieve efficiency—Streamlined workflows for your lab are enabled by choice of reaction-sized lyophilized reagents or high-throughput liquid reagents, while parallel workflows across all Archer panels provide efficient genomic characterization.
- Customize content—Use Assay Marketplace to modify any panel to fit your lab’s needs or start from scratch to keep up with the pace of discovery.

Frequently asked questions
Can I analyze DNA and RNA simultaneously for comprehensive genomic profiling of blood cancers with Archer panels?
Yes, DNA and RNA from a single sample can be analyzed with VARIANTPlex™ and FUSIONPlex™ panels to provide a genomic profile of the blood cancer. For comprehensive genomic profiling, pair FUSIONPlex Pan Heme and VARIANTPlex Myeloid panels to interrogate 226 genes for fusions, splicing, exon-skipping, SNVs, indels, CNVs, ITDs and expression levels. Additionally, IMMUNOVerse™ assays can provide T- and B-cell clonality, MRD, and somatic hypermutation information relevant for heme malignancies. IMMUNOVerse panels have parallel workflows with VARIANTPlex and FUSIONPlex assays, allowing for comprehensive, streamlined blood cancer profiling.
Is it possible to detect low allele frequency (<1% AF) variants with VARIANTPlex™ panels?
Yes, minimal residual disease (MRD) / low allele frequency (LAF) can be optimized with VARIANTPlex panels with increased input, using a normalized dataset, increasing the sequencing depth, and using low allelic frequency cycling conditions. For more details on this use, please contact support.
What is the difference between Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP™) and traditional priming methods for DNA NGS analysis?
As opposed to traditional priming methods, AMP chemistry enables tiling primers across both strands of DNA, optimally covering targeted regions for amplification and characterization of challenging, yet relevant alterations such as internal tandem duplications. Additionally, AMP chemistry uses molecular barcode adapters that bind to DNA fragments before amplification, allowing for efficient amplification of targets even from degraded or fragmented nucleic acid input, such as DNA from FFPE tissue and ctDNA from plasma.
