MEDLAB Asia Pacific is the largest medical laboratory conference and exhibition in Singapore. It is a platform for all healthcare professionals working within the medical laboratory sector, and will enable them to witness and share the latest innovations and technology available in the IVD and medical laboratory market. The event will take place for the second consecutive year at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore from 18-20 March 2015.

MEDLAB Asia Pacific is an essential platform to showcase the laboratory technology and services in the region. This event is part of the global MEDLAB series which is supported by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, the organizers of Arab Health and MEDLAB Middle East.

“In its second edition, MEDLAB Asia Pacific, will bring together the front-runners in the medical laboratory industry at an event designed to create maximum interaction and meeting opportunities where manufactures, dealers, distributors can promote their brands, meet potential customers and cater to existing clients,” says Simon Page, Managing Director, Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions.

MEDLAB Asia Pacific will extend over 5000 sqm of exhibition space and feature more than 130 exhibitors, and will offer the medical laboratory technology industry a complete range of products, materials and services including high-tech solutions, components, pre-products, new materials and innovations. The exhibition will showcase manufacturers and suppliers of all categories of medical laboratory products including disposable items, diagnostic equipment, hospital management, laboratory equipment, and biotechnology.

Accredited by The Academy of Medicine, Singapore, the MEDLAB Asia Pacific Congress will feature 8 CME-accredited conferences that will cover topics such as laboratory management, imaging and pathology, research and development, clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, hematology, infectious diseases, and oncology. The Congress will encompass new methods of effective lab management to the development of techniques in detecting diseases, the will cover an extensive range of topics guaranteed to educate and enlighten all.

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.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

The technique is used increasingly in the field of infectious diseases and oncology, as well as areas such as coagulation, HLA typing and pharmacogenomics. Molecular diagnostics plays a pivotal role in personalized medicine.OlympicsInfectious DiseasesInfectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Effective detection, prevention, and treatment are crucial to control outbreaks and improve public health. Diagnostic tools, vaccines, and antimicrobial treatments are essential components of managing these diseases. Research into emerging pathogens and resistance patterns continues to evolve.
