What Does it Cover?
In this technical presentation, we will discuss the use of polymeric microspheres in diagnostic assays. We will provide you with a survey of the materials used in this field, examples of readers available for this growing market, case studies, and a first preview of novel products to be released in 2020. Material considerations to be discussed include key attributes needed to select the best spheres for qualitative and quantitative assays (such as size, functional group, and color). We will also share best practices to troubleshoot protein binding in qualitative assay development using our raw materials. This information will be of interest to individuals involved in developing and validating qualitative and quantitative assays.
