In a clinical laboratory, tests are done on patient specimens, such as blood, biopsies, and other bodily fluids, to gather information regarding the general health, aiding in diagnosis and potential treatment or disease prevention.
In November of 2013 the AHA/ACA jointly proposed new guidelines for the management of hypercholesterolemia, the first full update in over a decade. The charge was to create evidence bas...
DNASTAR offers an integrated suite of software for accurate assembly, alignment, and analysis of sequence data from all major next-generation sequencing platforms, supporting key workflows in...
Liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is ideally suited for the direct and rapid analysis of prepared biological samples. While analysis times can be shortened...
Until recently most of the phenotypic information on congenital endocrine disorders have relied on biochemical testing of steroids, biogenic amines and peptides but is now...
Aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering strategies are recommended for prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk populations. Guidelines recommend a 30-50% redu...
FDA has generally not enforced applicable regulatory requirements on a group of IVD tests called Laboratory Developed Tests. This use of “enforcement discretion” has been un...
There is agreement among clinicians that laboratory analyses are indispensable for correct diagnosis of disease, therapy, and patient monitoring. It is evident that laboratory data should be...
Drugs of abuse toxicology testing by immunoassays is widely used clinically, but also known to be inadequate for many clinical indications. In this presentation, the speaker will outline diff...
Cancer is complex, but recent findings are yielding a greater understanding of the disease. The tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are implicated in breast, ovarian, prostate, and other c...
Next-generation sequencing has emerged as a valuable tool for generating patient-specific genetic information for clinical diagnostics and optimal selection of targeted therapies. The heterog...
A fundamental aspect of the thermodynamic characterization of macromolecular complexes is the determination of the component stoichiometry. There are a number of approaches that may be employ...

There are many laboratory Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzers available, most of which appear to be suitable for pharmaceutical QC use, ...
Detection of rare mutations is required for reliable identification of mutations in liquid biopsies and heterogeneous tumors. Yet low-level mutation detection remains a technically challengin...
The assessment of pigmented lesions is a difficult area of dermatology and dermatopathology. Melanoma is the leading cause of cancer in woman age 25-29 years, yet it is also a leading c...
Is your lab constantly challenged by case back log while trying to validate new methods to identify designer drugs? Your challenge is common to many forensic toxicology labs around the world....
While TDM is routinely used in a number of medical fields, it has not gained wide utilization in oncology. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that current dosing methods based...
A major goal of molecular diagnostics is to find a sensitive and specific means for detecting and quantifying DNA fragments from rare cancer cells (by virtue of an identifying somatic mutatio...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
Synthetic biology—the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the redesign of natural biological systems for useful purposes—is contributing sus...
The process by which observations in the laboratory or the clinic are transformed into demonstrably useful interventions that tangibly improve human health is frequently termed "translation."...

Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) is an established technology, which has demonstrated great sensitivity and specificity for detecting genome-wide copy number variants (CNVs). CMA represe...
Cellular viability is usually determined by measuring the capacity of cells to exclude vital dyes such as 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), or by assessing nuclear morphology with chr...
