From artificial intelligence in the lab to cytogenetics and IVF. Committed to supporting the education of all faculty and medical lab professionals, MEDLAB also offers 11 CME-accredited conference tracks. Focusing on the core lab and specialist lab units, this year’s congress is led by a strong scientific committee, ensuring that current issues and innovation are at the centre of all programmes.
At the exhibition, Primerdesign, Microgen Bioproducts and Lab21 Healthcare will showcase their range of instruments and consumables in the real-time PCR market as well as their high-quality microbiology diagnostic products for laboratories.
CE-IVD marked molecular kits
Primerdesign will be promoting our new CE-IVD marked molecular kits; the genesig® Real-Time PCR BK virus (BKV) Kit (CE) and genesig® Real-Time PCR Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Kit (CE). These clinical products follow the launch of a Zika assay in the second half of 2017 and are the first of an expanding menu of molecular diagnostic tests for monitoring post-transplantation and immunosuppressed patients.
The new molecular kits have been developed to provide quantitative detection of viral DNA extracted from blood plasma and urine (BKV kit), or blood plasma and whole blood (EBV kit) from immunocompromised patients. Quantification standards in the kits are calibrated against the First World Health Organization International Standards for Virus Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NIBSC code 14/212), producing strong levels of sensitivity and specificity performance as well as reproducibility.
PathFlow™ Rapid Tests
Microgen Bioproducts will be showcasing their range of new PathFlow™ products. A complete detection system, with no additional reagents required, the Pathflow products offer a simple to use, two-step process, providing results within five to ten minutes. The product works on multiple sample types and comes with an in-built procedural control, as well as both positive and negative control materials.
