Even though screening is recommended for all ethnicities, it can be difficult to provide reliable results for everyone, since most CFTR assays were designed based on outdated, ethnically-homogeneous data. Additionally, some assay workflows can be time-consuming, cost-prohibitive, or cumbersome for labs to use. In this event, Asuragen is pleased to unveil the AmplideX® PCR/CE CFTR Kit*, which is designed to provide the broadest coverage** of the U.S. population of any available targeted kit, with an easy-to-implement workflow. Recent large-scale diverse datasets informed assay design to bridge coverage gaps left by other targeted assays, while the application of AmplideX technology streamlines the testing process. This event will include a 4 hour LIVE schedule starting at 11am EST/8am PST on January 20, 2022 along with one year of continually updated content from Jan 2022 – Jan 2023. Register now for access to: Live webinars with C.E. credits and Q&A sessions Presentations from knowledge experts in CFTR gene coverage variants Detailed AmplideX PCR/CE CFTR Kit information How to expand your lab menu with the AmplideX portfolio The opportunity to chat with an AmplideX expert For more information on the AmplideX PCR/CE CFTR Kit*, visit Asuragen.com/CFTR. Practical CFTR Testing To Address Coverage Gaps with the AmplideX® PCR/CE CFTR Kit* (11am-12pm ET) John N. Milligan, PhD Senior Manager, Research & Development, Asuragen Learn how recent large-scale diverse population studies provide a greater understanding of the diversity of CFTR variants and how this data has informed the AmplideX PCR/CE CFTR Kit* design to provide the broadest coverage** of any targeted CFTR testing kit. ________________________________________ Comprehensive Yet Streamlined Genetic Testing with AmplideX® Technology (12:30-1:30pm ET) Ninad Pendsé, MBA Senior Product Manager, Asuragen This webinar will present the relevant genetic information needed in three common carrier screening genes (CFTR, SMN1/2, and FMR1), as well as how AmplideX assays provides this information with simple, complementary workflows made for real-world use. _______________________________________ How Did They Do It? Real-World Lab Journeys to Genetic Test Implementation (1:30 – 2:30pm ET) Andrew Kincaid – Senior Manager, Field Applications, Asuragen Tessa Gowan – Field Application Scientist, Asuragen Stephanie Borel, MS – Field Application Scientist, Asuragen Vivian Le – Field Application Scientist, Asuragen What does the process look like to implement a genetic assay in a molecular lab? What challenges need to be overcome and what support does Asuragen provide? This webinar will answer all those questions as our field application scientists present diverse real-world journeys of labs implementing AmplideX® genetic assays. ________________________________________ *For Research Use Only.
