Tech shortage? Tech burnout? Training new techs? Hear from Barbara Anderson, MS, MB(ASCP)CM, Analytical Specialist in the Division of Molecular Pathology, Genetics and Genomics at Duke University Health System about her experience implementing a new CFTR kit and using the AmplideX Trio* workflow to streamline training and minimize tech time. Also hear how accessible, automated analysis software has made it easier for her lab leadership to review results. Learn how you can have a more streamlined lab while providing better genetic answers for three targets (CFTR, SMN1/2, and FMR1) in this workshop. 

The COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on the need for expedited development of molecular controls that can standardize results of the myriad tests created to accurately diagnose emerging diseases. Armored Molecular Controls* are synthetic, non-infectious, non-biological, ribonuclease-resistant full process controls that can be quickly designed and scaled to meet global supply demands. Learn how Armored Molecular Controls* have been deployed to harmonize SARS-CoV-2 assays and rapidly developed to address the Monkeypox outbreak, as well as their application in wastewater surveillance for emerging diseases.
