Özet
Background Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has become a cornerstone of liquid biopsy applications, offering promise for early disease detection and monitoring. However, its widespread clinical adoption is limited by variability in pre-analytical processing, especially during isolation. Current extraction methods face challenges in yield, purity, and reproducibility. Methods We developed and optimized SafeCAP 2.0, a novel magnetic bead-based cfDNA extraction kit, focusing on efficient recovery, minimal genomic DNA contamination, and PCR compatibility. Optimization involved systematic evaluation of magnetic bead chemistry, buffer composition, and reagent volumes. Performance was benchmarked against a commercial reference kit (Apostle MiniMax) using spiked oligonucleotides and plasma from patients with stage IV NSCLC. Results The optimized protocol demonstrated superior recovery with a limit of detection (LoD) as low as 0.3 pg/µL and a limit of quantification (LoQ) of 1 pg/μL with no detectable PCR inhibition. In comparative studies, SafeCAP 2.0 showed equivalent or improved performance over the commercial kit. Clinical validation using 47 patient plasma samples confirmed robust cfDNA recovery and fragment integrity. Conclusions SafeCAP 2.0 offers a cost-effective, high-performance solution for cfDNA extraction in both research and clinical workflows. Its design and validation address key pre-analytical barriers, supporting integration into routine diagnostics and precision medicine platforms.
