Factors Affecting Plasma DNA Analysis Evaluated
There is vast potential in precision-medicine methods of both detecting and monitoring disease by looking for indications of cancer mutations in cell-free DNA (cfDNA), circulating in the blood. However, there are many factors that can significantly alter these samples as they are collected and analyzed. More...21 May 2018
Near-Patient Hepatitis C Assay Validated
Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem, estimated to infect 1.0% of the world’s population (71 million people) and to be responsible for 400, 000 annual deaths as a result of cirrhosis and liver cancer. More...17 May 2018
Cell Block Prep Method Modified for Molecular Studies
Biomarker testing is currently required to guide the selection of a growing number of targeted therapies in patients with a wide range of malignancies. Combined with increasing use of immunostaining for tumor diagnosis, this has substantially increased the demand for the amount of tissue in small specimens. More...14 May 2018
Cancer Blood Test Engineered to Detect Tumors Early
A new innovative microfluidic device has been developed that uses magnetic particles and wavy-herringbone design to capture and release circulating tumor cells (CTC) with a high capture efficiency rate at different tumor cell concentrations. More...02 May 2018
Beckman Coulter Announces CE Mark for Hematology Analyzer
Beckman Coulter (Brea, CA, USA) announced achievement of CE Mark for its DxH 520 hematology analyzer, designed to help physician office laboratories deliver high-quality results with increased productivity and ease. With as little as two environmentally friendly reagents, the compact five-part differential system enhances efficiency and resource management through a comprehensive feature set that automates daily tasks. This reduces the amount of time spent on laboratory operations and frees time for patient care. More...30 Apr 2018
