    JAK2 MutaQuant™ and MutaSearch™ Kits are now CE marked!

    JAK2V617F is the most common molecular marker in Polycythemia Vera, Essential Thrombocythemia, and Primary Myelofibrosis; its detection is now fully integrated into the diagnostic work-up of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN)1.

    Recent publications also mention the usefulness of quantifying JAK2V617F for prognosis or MRD monitoring in MPN patients2,3.

    In this context, Ipsogen is pleased to announce the CE marking of its JAK2 MutaQuantTM Kits ref# MQPP-02-CE and ref# MQPP-03-CE (mini kit) and JAK2 MutaSearchTM Kit ref# MSPP-05-CE.
    MutaQuantTM assays allow precise quantification of JAK2V617F allele burden in Peripheral Blood samples while MutaSearchTM Kit is designed for JAK2V617F detection at diagnosis with a positivity cut-off at 1%.
