Clinical Diagnostics Events

In the early days of biobanking, biological sample collections were usually associated with a specific research area and stored near the collection point. read more

At the Silicon Valley and Down Under Innovation Summit, hosted in February by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, I had a chance to talk with Dr. Larry R. Marshall, CSIRO... read more

Three-dimensional (3-D) culture models are increasingly being used for drug discovery in oncology, as they better represent the complexity of the in vivo microenvironment of solid tumors. read more

For over half a century, researchers have used 2-D cell culture methods, though the physiological relevance of these models has frequently been in doubt, largely because monolayer culture systems ... read more

The use of MS in the clinical laboratory really took off with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Its adoption over the last 15 years has been driven by the need for greater immunoassay ... read more

One of the challenges in providing human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) for curative use is the production of large quantities of cells in a robust manner. read more

Until the super-resolution explosion, detection of small movement with light was restricted to objects larger than the diffraction limit of the light, which is a few hundred nanometers. read more

A simple optical redesign converts a standard confocal microscope to a super-resolution microscope. read more
