Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test for the detection of BRAF gene mutations in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from a patient’s blood sample.
Test Details
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test is a diagnostic test that uses advanced molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to identify specific mutations in the BRAF gene. This gene is commonly mutated in various cancers, including melanoma and colorectal cancer.
This non-invasive test can be used as a companion diagnostic tool to guide treatment decisions, monitor treatment response, or detect disease recurrence in patients with BRAF-mutated cancers. By analyzing cfDNA released into the bloodstream by tumor cells, Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF provides a snapshot of the genetic alterations present in the tumor without the need for invasive tissue biopsies.
With a doctor’s prescription, Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF can be performed. However, it is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Test Components
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test includes the use of Streck Tubes, which are essential for sample collection and preservation.
Price
The cost of the Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test is AED 3600.0.
Sample Condition
The test requires a peripheral blood sample for analysis.
Report Delivery
After sample collection, the report for the Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test is typically delivered within 5-7 days.
Method
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test utilizes Droplet Digital PCR as the method for detecting BRAF gene mutations.
Test Type
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test falls under the category of genetics testing.
Doctor
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test is commonly requested by oncologists.
Test Department
The Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF Test is performed in our dedicated Genetics Test Department.
Pre Test Information
It is important to note that Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF requires a doctor’s prescription. However, this test is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Overall, Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF is a valuable tool in personalized medicine, enabling clinicians to tailor treatment plans based on the specific genetic profile of a patient’s tumor.

Test Details |
Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF is a diagnostic test that detects BRAF gene mutations in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from a patient’s blood sample. BRAF is a gene that codes for a protein involved in cell signaling pathways and is commonly mutated in various cancers, including melanoma and colorectal cancer. Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF uses advanced molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to identify specific mutations in the BRAF gene. This test is non-invasive and can be used as a companion diagnostic tool to guide treatment decisions, monitor treatment response, or detect disease recurrence in patients with BRAF-mutated cancers. The liquid biopsy approach allows for the analysis of cfDNA, which is released into the bloodstream by tumor cells. By analyzing cfDNA, Liquid Bx. Cell Free BRAF provides a snapshot of the genetic alterations present in the tumor without the need for invasive tissue biopsies. Overall, Liquid Bx.
