Webinar: How to overcome hurdles in molecular diagnostics
"Biotechnology has spurred countless innovations in medicine, ultimately improving patient outcomes through enhanced understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, better diagnostic assays, and more effective therapeutic interventions. These improvements are continuously shaping the way modern medicine is practiced, and constantly forcing medical scientists and practitioners to develop new diagnostic assays and treatment regimens. To this end, many clinically focused research laboratories have implemented strategies to better address current deficiencies in diagnostic testing through the development, optimization, and eventual validation and use of diagnostic tests. In this webinar, we will discover how to overcome hurdles in developing molecular diagnostics (MDx) assays."

Why most ELN solutions are not suitable for the regulated industry
Laboratories are characterized by their diversity, as they vary significantly in terms of their function, discipline, objectives, procedures, culture, & size. For instance, an R&D lab and a QC Regulated lab may share similar disciplines but have little else in common. The uniqueness of each laboratory environment implies that generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions are seldom ideal, even though laboratory software is often expected to be a perfect fit for every type of lab.
