Table 2.

Next-generation sequencing results for cfDNA reference material with defined mutations extracted using the ATPS-based process. DNA-free plasma was spiked at 5% variant allele frequency (VAF). Detected variants, total sequencing depth, and measured VAF are reported for extracts obtained using a single ATPS step (ATPS 1) or two consecutive ATPS steps (ATPS 2). Data is reported for a representative experiment.
