In this webinar, Dr. James Dunn will join us to discuss the process for the practical implementation of multiplex molecular assays for infectious diseases at different points of service.

Throughout the session, Dr. Dunn will also cover the role of diagnostic stewardship in ensuring patients receive testing with the appropriate diagnostic modality. There are many challenges and opportunities with the integration of molecular microbiology testing in different settings and with proper test selection and utilization, there can be significant benefits in patient outcomes.

In recent past respiratory seasons, the world witnessed a “tripledemic” of Influenza (flu), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The 2024-25 landscape will likely be different, with new virus variants, new vaccines and treatments, like the game-changing antibody that protects children from RSV. The healthcare and public health community have also learned some valuable lessons going forward with the ever-evolving respiratory agents.

In this presentation, Dr. Rodney Rohde will discuss the primary microbiology, epidemiology, control, prevention, vulnerable populations, the importance of laboratory validation, and the benefits of molecular-based testing of these three primary respiratory season pathogens.

This immersive webinar offers an exclusive glimpse into the groundbreaking technologies shaping the laboratories of tomorrow. Delve into the dynamic fusion of cutting-edge technology and scientific exploration as our visionary experts unveil revolutionary laboratory setups.

Cellulose filters are manufactured from wood pulp or high-quality cotton linters treated to achieve a high alpha cellulose content. Glass microfiber filters, or glass fibers, are manufactured from borosilicate glass. These depth filters combine fast flow rates with high loading capacity and the retention of very fine particles, extending into the sub-micron range, and are used in multiple steps of a lateral-flow assay including the sample pad, blood separator, conjugate release and adsorption pad.

Join our webinar, hosted by Klaus Hochleitner, to take a detailed look at the raw materials, specified parameters and optimal uses for cellulose fiber and glass fiber pads in lateral flow tests.

In this webinar you will:
• Review the purposes of the different pads in lateral flow tests
• Understand the raw materials and specified parameters of cellulose fibers and glass fibers with special focus on thickness
• Review the guidelines for development and assay validation, including block-on-the-fly
• Determine the optimal uses for cellulose fiber and glass fiber pads

In this webinar, Dr. Gustav Quade will provide a comprehensive overview of respiratory pathogens and discuss how to enhance your laboratory’s diagnostic capabilities by using multiplex assays to incorporate clinically relevant pathogen targets into your testing protocols. Dr. Quade will also illustrate best practices and key considerations to help you expand your laboratory’s respiratory testing menu.

Molecular diagnostics have revolutionized healthcare by enabling accurate and efficient disease diagnosis and treatments. Aging and growing populations, increased prevalence of infectious diseases and rising costs are impacting the diagnostic landscape presenting the need for increased clinical lab efficiency and innovation.
This webinar series will delve into the intricacies of the modern clinical lab and explore ways to optimize and streamline molecular diagnostics workflows and technologies to aid in the identification and diagnosis of disease.
In this webinar, Dr. Tza-Huei (Jeff) Wang will join us to discuss the pivotal role of nucleic acids in molecular diagnostics and how to address the multiplexing capacity of various diagnostic methods. Throughout this session, Jeff will discuss novel coding techniques and microfluidic digital detection strategies to improve the multiplexing capabilities of nucleic acid detection to aid in the identification of genetic disorders, cancer and infectious agents.
