About this test
The cobas KRAS Mutation Test is an in vitro diagnostic, allele-specific real-time PCR assay that qualitatively detects KRAS exon 2 codon 12 and 13 mutations in DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded colorectal cancer tissue. Run on the cobas 4800 System, it reports mutation detected or not detected to establish KRAS mutation status and support targeted treatment planning.
