ESR1 & Beyond: Leveraging Exosomes for
Highly-Sensitive Variant Detection on qPCR
This workshop
will showcase the design and performance of the
QuantideX® qPCR ESR1 exoMutation Kit combined
with the ExoLution Plus cfDNA + exoRNA Isolation Kit to achieve
analytical sensitivity of ≤0.1% across 11 ESR1
mutations, utilizing the power of cfDNA and exosomal RNA to deliver
best-in-class performance using commonly-available qPCR
instruments.
Speaker: Brian Haynes,
PhD, Bio-Techne Diagnostics Division
Date and
time: Wednesday, November 20,
3:00-3:50 PM PST
Location:
Room 212/213
Long-Range PCR Meets Long-Read Sequencing: An Assay for 11
Hard-to-Decipher, High-Frequency Carrier Screening Associated
Genes
This workshop will focus on the design and performance
of the AmplideX® Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit, combining
AmplideX PCR chemistry with the Oxford Nanopore®
platform to identify the most challenging genetic alterations like
CNVs, large inversions, and pseudogenes using a consolidated
workflow.
Speaker: Paul A. Wadsworth,
MD, PhD, Resident Physician, Pathology, Stanford University
Date and time:
Wednesday, November 20, 12:00-12:50 PM PST
Location: Room
114/115
Fireside Chat: LDT Compliance in an Uncertain
Environment
With so much uncertainty around the FDA's
laboratory-developed test (LDT) rule, it is challenging for
laboratory leaders to make firm plans for how to achieve
compliance. This session will consider three different tactical
approaches for stage I of the rule: a) labs actively preparing for
compliance; b) labs preparing, but cautiously using resources; and
c) labs that are taking a 'wait and see' approach.
Discussion Leader: Jordan
Laser, MD, Asuragen
Date and time: Wednesday, November 20, 5:15-6:15 PM PST
Location: Room
