Pre-detection processing is a pivotal part of molecular diagnostics. Its modernization should closely follow or even precede the emergence of new diagnostic technologies. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Sample Prep and Target Enrichment in Molecular Diagnostics is designed to demonstrate the latest advances in pre-analytical processing, sample preparation and target enrichment in molecular diagnostics and particularly in nucleic acid testing. IVD industry scientists and academia researchers who are working in this exciting area should attend this meeting.
