Molecular diagnostic test kits are laboratory tests that can be conducted on biological samples such as blood, urine, or tissue. Molecular diagnostic tests can measure levels of genetic material, such as DNA, protein, or other molecular components within a biological sample.
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a key analyte for liquid biopsy samples. Due to extremely low concentration and high degree of fragmentation, the extraction of cfDNA is technically challenging. Her...
