Immunoassay testing is carried out to detect diseases in biological samples. Immunoassays work by measuring the concentration of a specific analyte or antibody in a sample, such as blood or saliva.
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...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Consistent accuracy in reporting quantitative viral load results is critically important to patients, their physicians and to the clinical laboratory. In clinical practice, quantitative viral...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...
In the context of an experimental project requiring surgical preparation of animals, training is not only required for technicians lacking a strong surgical background but also for more exper...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
Serology testing continues to be an indispensable tool for the management of several disease states, especially treponemal screening to monitor syphilis infection in the US. Come to this edu...
Laboratory assessment of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels is essential for the management of the risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditionally, this has involved the...
Clinical networks link groups of professionals and organisations from primary, secondary and tertiary care, shifting emphasis from institutional to patient needs and outcomes. One of the main...
Bone turnover markers (BTM) are biological markers of bone remodeling (turnover). The entire skeleton is replaced every 10 years by remodeling, a process constantly going on at different phas...
The program "The Universal Definition of MI & Troponin, Clearing the confusion" is intended to review the recently released Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and aims to fam...
There is growing pressure to implement new generation sequencing platform in hospital emergency rooms. The utility would be obvious: identifying unknown pathogens form cerebrospinal fluid/pl...
RA is a chronic autoimmune disease that if left untreated results in severe joint destruction. It is estimated that 30-50% of patients will end up on workplace disability within 5 years of di...
Vaginitis and vaginosis, including Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomoniasis (TV), are extremely common conditions, consuming many healthcare resources and...
The value of measuring lactate levels is expanding. Though generally considered a nonspecific biomarker, knowing lactate levels early in a patients presentation can provide valuable informat...
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms advance in their speed, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness, many translational researchers are transitioning from microarrays to RNA sequencing...
The human genome encodes ~21,500 proteins that are subject to reversible phosphorylation at nearly 1 million phosphosites by about 538 protein kinases and 156 protein phosphatases. Amongst ot...
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Clinical laboratory information provides decision support for most healthcare providers and impacts care processes and patient outcomes throughout the entire health services delivery system....
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
Learn how technological advances with the DxH 800/DxH 600 analyzers are bringing practical solutions to problems faced by labs and their clinicians and patients. After the webinar you'll...
