Clinical Chemistry: Clinical chemistry uses chemical processes to measure levels of chemical components in body fluids. The most common specimens tested in clinical chemistry are blood and urine. Many different tests exist to test for almost any type of chemical component in blood or urine. Components may include blood glucose, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, lipids (fats), other metabolic substances, and proteins.
Clinical testing with next generation sequencing requires a complex bioinformatics pipeline to process raw DNA sequence into interpretable variants for medical reporting. With sequencin...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) allows for prompt clinical interventions by returning fast and reliable results near patients. This important role in patient management has led to the widespread...
This presentation will review the scope and history of the chronic pain and opioid epidemic in the US. It will then discuss how chronic pain and opioid use is being dealt with in commun...
Second and third generations of PTH immunoassays currently available on the market demonstrate significant variability with up to 4.2 fold difference in measurements depending on the method u...
As the compendium of putatively disease causing variants expands, gathering the most current and accurate information is critical to computing variant classifications. The QIAGEN knowledgebas...
Decades of innovation have brought us into a new era of mass spectrometry with the design of Agilent’s revolutionary Triple Quadrupole LC/MS. Ultivo is packed full of the same power and...
With significant decrease in the cost of sequencing in numerous commercial as well as cancer center–driven initiatives, genomic profiling is increasingly becoming routine across multipl...
As the diagnostic test menu has increased in size and complexity, healthcare providers are in great need of advice on appropriate test selection and result interpretation. To address this nee...
Sepsis is the Achilles’ heel of health care. Despite being relatively unknown to the public, it is a top killer in hospitals and the cost burden is crushing to our healthcare system. Mo...
