PulmoSmart on Tissue Biopsy

The standard 11-gene NSCLC panel on FFPE tissue — analysing DNA and RNA together from a single sample. Guideline-complete coverage of every actionable driver, delivered in 5–7 days on standard PCR your lab already runs.

What's covered.

99% of DNA mutations and >97% of gene fusions listed in NCCN guidelines (COSMIC v100) — 11 genes, 114 variants, all in a single test.

  • EGFR — exon 18/19/20/21 (T790M, C797S, L858R)
  • ALK — EML4-ALK and partner fusions
  • ROS1 — all clinically relevant fusion partners
  • BRAF — V600E
  • MET — exon 14 skipping
  • KRAS — G12/G13/Q61 hotspots (incl. G12C)
  • RET — KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET
  • ERBB2 (HER2) — exon 20 insertions
  • NTRK1/2/3 — all fusion partners
  • PIK3CA — hotspot mutations
  • PD-L1 — companion testing recommended

Why choose PulmoSmart

Built for the samples Indian oncologists actually work with.

Both nucleic acids

DNA + RNA together

One tissue sample, one workflow — no split into two labs or two runs. Every actionable driver, whether it's a mutation or a fusion.

Standard PCR

Runs on QuantStudio™ 5

No new capital equipment. If your lab already runs qPCR, it can run PulmoSmart. Setup and training in 3 days.

Fragile inputs OK

Built for hard samples

Works with low tumour content and low DNA/RNA input — where standard NGS drops out.

When to choose PulmoSmart.

Adequate tissue on the block, oncologist has 5–7 days to plan the therapy line. The workhorse — most patients, most days. Need it in 2 days? PulmoSmart Prime. Tissue exhausted? LiquiSmart Lung.
