Analytical precision (assay variation within a given RNA input level ) of the 17 Oncotype DX prostate gene assays and GPS was derived from 10 different FPE prostate cancer samples that were run 9 times each: 3 replicates at each of 3 different RNA inputs: 5 ng, 10 ng and 20 ng (target). The within RNA input level sources of variation include instruments (qPCR and Tecan liquid handling robots), reagents lots (oligonucleotides, preamplification master mix and qPCR master mix), operator and time (processing spanned 2 calendar weeks).
