Liquid chromatography high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) is becoming increasingly popular in the clinical research laboratory. It can offer higher throughput and sup...
The recent Zika virus outbreak highlights the need for low-cost diagnostics that can be rapidly developed for distribution and use in pandemic regions. In early 2016 we developed a pipe...
The aim of the learning healthcare system is to leverage data stored in the electronic health record (EHR) to gain insights into and improve healthcare delivery. Laboratory testing represents...
Fusion genes are hybrid genes formed by the fusion of two separate genes. Translocation, interstitial deletion and chromosomal inversions are some of the genetic events that can lead to the f...
Sanger sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods have been the standard molecular methods in clinical diagnostics for decades. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology r...
IQCP represents a new approach to quality control for clinical laboratories. Beginning in 2016 clinical laboratories were tasked with developing individualized quality control plans for...
Core or central laboratory are facing several challenges. First, the management and operations of a successful modern laboratory is a real complex exercise, with multiple pre- and post-analyt...
Today there are about 7B mobile phone worldwide and about 50,000 mobile health applications actively changing the landscape of how healthcare will be delivered in the next years. While numero...
In the past several years, there has been an increase in drug testing associated with chronic pain. Immunoassays are the most common method for initial screening which can test for a specific...
Are there DNA targets in your lab that are difficult to genotype using standard PCR or sequencing?Do you ever need to genotype a single sample, and you don’t want to wait to batch sam...
With increasing emphasis on effective pain management in clinical care, there has been a significant increase in the number of opioid prescriptions in the past decade. While these drugs...
Vitamin D3 supplementation can effectively remedy the current epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, especially within the African-American population and the elderly of any ethnicity. Racial disp...
Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are prevalent worldwide, and pregnant women and infants are at highest risk for having deficiency and related consequences. Epidemiologic studies have s...
Most of the tests performed for patient care use automated colorimetric and immunoassay methods in the clinical laboratories. Clinical labs are regulated by CLIA and are routinely inspected b...
Whole genome and exome sequencing is being widely used to identify disease-causing variants in patients with hereditary and rare diseases. Discovering the true disease-causing variants often...
Chronic pain is a major problem in most countries. Specialized pain management physicians often see and treat patients with chronic pain, and one type of therapy that may be prescribed is an...
The most important job of automated biology is to produce results that moves your research forward. If automation only executes a program of pre-determined set of steps, the researcher is lef...

Community acquired pneumonia affects over 5 million Americans and 6 million Europeans annually. Typically 5-10% will be admitted to hospital. It is a condition that more often affects the eld...
Stem cells, specifically induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), offer exciting potential for the future of cell therapy and regenerative medicine. More recently, genetic engineering of stem ...
Years of significant effort can go into generating key proof of concept data to support moving bench research to clinical development.Yet, much work remains in order to transition from POC to...
This presentation will outline activities from pre-inspection through the post inspection process as it relates to QC throughout your laboratory. You will be provided you a strategy on what i...
Complex recombinant protein biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies and coagulation factors, are key components of today’s biopharmaceutical industry. There are many effective paths fo...
