Apostle cfDNA Technology Powers Large-Scale Liquid Biopsy Study Published in?The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics A groundbreaking study recently published in?The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics?analyzed?874 cancer patientsacross 28 tumor types, investigating the utility of?cell-free DNA (cfDNA)?for molecular profiling and prognostic insight in a real-world healthcare setting. A critical part of this success? The use of the?Apostle MiniMax? High Efficiency cfDNA Isolation Kit?(distributed by Beckman Coulter) to isolate cfDNA from plasma. This high-yield, high-purity extraction method enabled the team to capture?circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)?with minimal background contamination from blood cells—a major achievement in ensuring data integrity for next-generation sequencing (NGS). ???Key highlights from the study: - Achieved?97% concordance?for coding mutations between tumor tissue and cfDNA. - Identified?therapeutically actionable mutations in 54% of patients?through both cfDNA and tissue testing. - 11% of patients had actionable mutations detected exclusively in cfDNA, showcasing its unique diagnostic potential. - cfDNA concentration levels correlated strongly with overall survival, indicating?prognostic biomarker potential. The cfDNA isolation protocol using Apostle technology was meticulously optimized—including a 3-spin plasma purification process and controlled Proteinase K digestion—to preserve nucleosomal integrity and remove background DNA. These refinements enabled?high-fidelity sequencing results?across a diverse and complex patient cohort. This study not only demonstrates the clinical utility of cfDNA but also highlights how?Apostle’s extraction technologydelivers the precision and consistency required for large-scale cancer genomics in real-world settings. ??

?? Apostle at ASCO 2025 ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) is one of the world’s leading organizations in the field of oncology, and its official journal, the Journal of Clinical Oncology, is a top-tier publication in the field. At this year’s meeting, a major multi-institutional team led by Dr. Amir Goldkorn from the University of Southern California (USC), in collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center, City of Hope, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles, presented a Phase 3 clinical trial study titled: "Combined genomic profiling of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cell DNA (ctcDNA) in S1802, a prospective phase 3 trial for metastatic prostate cancer (mHSPC)". We are proud to see that cfDNA extraction in this important study was performed using the Apostle MiniMax technology. It is truly rewarding to witness Apostle technology contributing to cutting-edge cancer research and, more broadly, to human health.

?? From Earth to Orbit: Apostle MiniMax? Joins the SpaceX Health Mission In May 2025, npj Microgravity (Nature Publishing Group) published a landmark paper led by Baylor College of Medicine’s Human Genome Sequencing Center, establishing the first official manual for astronaut bio-specimen collection in U.S. commercial space missions. The GENESTAR manual — developed with data from the Axiom-2 mission (via SpaceX and Axiom Space) — includes protocols for collecting blood, plasma, cfDNA, RNA, PBMCs, and more. A total of 339 astronaut samples were collected. Notably, the study features Apostle MiniMax? technology for extracting cfDNA, recognized as the official standard for these missions. The technology delivered excellent yield and quality from astronaut blood, marking a major step forward in space health research. ?? Understanding how spaceflight impacts the body at a molecular level is critical to protecting human health during long-duration missions. We are so proud to see Apostle technology supporting this frontier of science!

[Research Express] ?? A Deep Learning Breakthrough in Lung Cancer Detection Early detection is key to improving survival rates in lung cancer — and researchers are making exciting strides toward more accurate, non-invasive screening methods. In a recent study published in Cancer Research, scientists developed a deep learning–based classifier that integrates cfDNA end-motif patterns and fragment size to detect lung cancer with high precision across diverse populations. Trained on over 4,000 samples from multi-institutional Korean and Caucasian cohorts, the model achieved an impressive AUC of 0.937 by combining fragmentomic features and genomic coverage — demonstrating both strong performance and cross-ethnic generalizability. This breakthrough underscores the transformative potential of cfDNA and AI in the future of cancer diagnostics. ?? The study employed the Apostle MiniMax? cfDNA extraction kit to ensure high-quality cell-free DNA extraction, laying the groundwork for a promising, non-invasive tool for early lung cancer screening.
