Expert insights

Are you a healthcare professional or clinical laboratory scientist looking to consolidate or expand your knowledge? Do you need continuing education (CE) credits to fulfill professional development schemes? SelectScience is hosting two fully accredited, hour-long clinical webinars running this month, featuring presentations delivered by expert clinical scientists, and the opportunity to ask your own questions in live Q&A sessions. Attendees will be able to gain valuable P.A.C.E credits from the ASCLS, or ACCENT credits from the AACC.

First up, Principal Scientist with Waters Corporation, Dr. Heather Brown, will join us to present a flow-injection analysis tandem mass spectrometry masterclass, before a session the following week in which Dr. James Aguanno, Senior Clinical Specialist of Siemens Healthineers, will deliver a presentation covering all aspects of heart failure.

By signing up to these events today, you’ll also get access to the on-demand version to watch as many times as you like after the live broadcast.

A Flow-Injection, Dried Blood Spot Analysis Masterclass

December 13th /16:00 GMT / 11:00 EST / 08:00 PST / 17:00 CET

Dr. Brown will present the benefits and limitations of flow-injection analysis tandem mass spectrometry in the clinical lab. She will explore the common causes of variability and how to overcome these, to achieve excellence in your workflows.

An Essential Guide to Heart Failure – Causes, Diagnosis and Latest Treatments

December 18th /16:00 GMT / 11:00 EST / 08:00 PST / 17:00 CET

Dr. Aguanno will explore the role of natriuretic peptides, refresh your knowledge of essential ACCF and AHA guidelines, and present a general overview of heart failure pathophysiology.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Heart AttackClinical Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry is emerging as a superior method of analysis over the longstanding, gold standard of immunoassay. Clinical mass spectrometry systems are increasingly accessible to medical laboratories and are capable of providing results with more speed and less expense than traditional methods. From simple mass spectrometers to IVDR class A compliant, highly sophisticated systems performing liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), find the latest product news, reviews and resources to make a purchasing decision for your laboratory.
