Molecular Diagnostics

Image: Mutations in cell free DNA (cfDNA) or cells in the peripheral blood along with anemia or thrombocytopenia are the hallmark of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The diagnosis of MDS is confirmed when mutations in hematopoietic cells are detected at relatively high levels (Photo courtesy of Genomic Testing Cooperative).

Inherited Causes of Clonal Hematopoiesis in Multiplicity of Whole Genomes

The age-related acquisition of somatic mutations that lead to clonal expansion in regenerating hematopoietic stem cell populations has recently been associated with both hematological cancer and coronary heart disease, and this phenomenon is termed clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

Platelia SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab Assay
In just one test, detect total anti-nucleocapsid antibodies IgM, IgA, and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 to help identify individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2, and who have developed an adaptive immune response.

Image: The signal of SMOLT is generated by the displacement of micron-size beads tethered by DNA long-probes that are between 1 and 7 microns long. The molecular extension of thousands of DNA probes is determined with sub-micron precision using a robust, rapid and low-cost optical approach (Photo courtesy of Scanogen).

Single-Molecule Tethering Detects Nucleic Acids and Microorganisms

Detection of microbial nucleic acids in body fluids has become the preferred method for rapid diagnosis of many infectious diseases. However, culture-based diagnostics that are time-consuming remain the gold standard approach in certain cases, such as sepsis. More...

Novel Method Reclaims Resolution of Single-Cell RNA-Seq

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool to characterize cells. Current scRNA-seq platforms, despite offering high throughput, are inefficient and provide low resolution among distinct cell states and molecular features. More...

An Electrochemical Bio-barcode Device for Home Disease Monitoring and Diagnosis

A point-of-care (POC) electrochemical bio‐barcode device and assay system have been developed to enable analysis of protein biomarkers in undiluted and unprocessed human plasma samples. More...

Real Time RT-PCR Test for COVID-19
Detects 3 SARS-CoV-2 targets in parallel, the targets are recommended by the WHO. No other tests worldwide focuses on 3 targets.
2 controls are included: Showing the sample quality; Extraction and inhibition control.

Germline Testing After Tumor Sequencing Uncovers Clinically Actionable Variants

Genetic counseling and germline testing are recommended for patients with cancer who have suspected hereditary disease based on each patient’s presentation and family history. Separately, tumor DNA sequencing is increasingly used, most often in patients with advanced disease. More...

A Novel Liquid Biopsy Technique for Brain Tumor Diagnosis

A minimally invasive liquid biopsy technique enables diagnosis of glioma, the most common type of brain tumor, by PCR analysis of an easily obtained blood plasma sample. More...

Image: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that are released and disseminated into the bloodstream and lymphatic system. CTC cultures were successfully propagated from breast epithelial cells (Photo courtesy of Menarini Silicon Biosystems).

Novel CTC Culture Method Developed to Study Metastatic Cancer

Cancer metastasis is responsible for most cancer-associated death. During metastasis, cells that escape the primary tumor into the circulatory system are known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs). More...
