Abstract

Microfluidics – Changing the Game in Biomarker Detection

Magdalena Schimke, Sales Specialist, STRATEC Consumables GmbH

Finding existing and novel biomarkers in circulating fluids via liquid biopsies is a strongly emerging field in research and technology development. It aims on finding extremely rare molecules, cells or sub-cellular compartments in body fluids that allow a diagnose of a disease, its progress and monitoring of therapy success. STRATEC here presents examples of novel technologies, relevant regulatory aspects, ways to make them accessible for the medical market as well as future perspectives.
