The GeneStrat® Genomic Test is a blood-based series of ddPCR tests for DNA (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF) and multiplexed assays for RNA variants (EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET). In this report we will u...
Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (ASA) is widely used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention because it inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mediated plat...
QuantiFERON TB (QFT) was the first interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) utilizing whole blood stimulation as a test for TB infection, gaining FDA approval in 2001. Subsequently there have be...
Free 25OH Vitamin D has received increasing attention over the last four years. More and more studies support the importance of free 25OH Vitamin D, suggesting that this fraction of 25OH Vita...
This webinar builds and expands on the recent labroots webinar by Dr. Gary Horowitz to emphasize how relatively in expensive assay standardization procedures can be incorporated into clinical...
The role of the microbiology laboratory in the processing of positive patient blood cultures has become more complicated with the increasing demand for rapid information to assist in the mana...
Transcriptional profiling of the tumor microenvironment can lead to insights about the interaction between the tumor and immune system. This facilitates investigation of immune evasion mechan...
Acute and chronic pain are often managed with drug therapy, which may include extended use of drug classes such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Pain does not go away, and may intensify...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become the leading cause of healthcare associated infections in the United States and currently accounts for 15% to 20% of infectious diarrhea in the...
This session will review and describe the basic steps of a biosafety risk assessment for clinical laboratories. The risk of exposure to infectious agents exists in every clinical labora...
