Developing Tools For Reliable Diagnostics and Research: Preservation of Bioanalyte Profiles and Standardized Pre-analytical Workflows

Phoebe Loh, Senior Global Product Manager, QIAGEN

Changes in cellular biomolecule profiles after sample collection can make the outcome from diagnostics or research unreliable because the subsequent analytical test will not determine the situation in the patient but an artificial bioanalyte profile generated during the pre-analytical workflow.  Sample preservation and robust pre-analytical methods are important considerations in developing workflows for translational research.  QIAGEN provides a broad range of tools for sample preparation for biomarker isolation and discovery to assist in creating a standardized workflow for liquid biopsy applications.
