Insight into the importance of controls in molecular diagnostics assays
, /in Featured Articles /by panglobalControls are a crucial part of any assay. Without them, our work is, at best, simply a waste of time and reagents. We know we need them but we probably should give them much more thought than we do. CLI caught up with Dr John Hedges, Director of Research and Development at Asuragen (a Bio-Techne […]
PCR allows rapid, differentiated dermatomycosis diagnostics
, /in Featured Articles /by panglobalThe diagnosis of fungal infections of the skin and nails has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. Traditional culturing methods have in many cases been replaced by PCR-based diagnostics, which provide greater accuracy and yield results ina fraction of the time. The fast, differentiated detection of dermatomycosis pathogens enables prompt targeted treatment of infections.
Molecular subtypes of metastatic urothelial carcinoma and treatment options
, /in Featured Articles /by panglobalUrothelial carcinoma is a common cancer and patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) have very poor outcomes. Many mUC patients do not have durable responses to systemic treatment and are exposed to toxic side effects that negatively impact the patient’s quality of life. Identifying novel biomarkers for therapy and selecting the best treatment option for […]
Two common peak-integration protocols for the quantification of M-proteins in serum protein electrophoresis
, /in Featured Articles /by panglobalQuantification of M-proteins plays an important role in diagnosing and managing patients with monoclonal gammopathies. This is traditionally performed by integrating abnormal monoclonal peaks in the electrophoretogram, using either a perpendicular drop (PD) or tangential skim (TS) method. In this article, we describe the advantages and disadvantages of the PD and TS integration methods and […]
