Asuragen, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company delivering easy-to-use products for complex testing in genetics and oncology, will showcase its latest product developments via a live corporate satellite and scientific poster presentations at the upcoming European Human Genetics Virtual Conference ESHG 2020.2, running from June 6-9. The annual event moved to an online, virtual platform in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The corporate satellite, “Looking Beyond Repeat Expansions: Using AmplideX® Technology to Detect Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, Indels, and Copy Number Variations,” will highlight how the company’s core, proprietary chemistries are able to detect a broad range of variant types through a common, streamlined, and single-day workflow. The first of its two speakers, Gary Latham, PhD, senior vice president of R&D at Asuragen, will provide a first look at the company’s AmplideX PCR/CE CFTR Kit* , which powers the broad, rapid, and multiplexed detection of pathogenic CFTR variants commonly observed across an ethnically diverse population. Henny Lemmink, PhD, Clinical Laboratory Geneticist, Department of Genetics, UMC Groningen, will discuss his laboratory’s experience with the new AmplideX SMA Plus Kit** , which reports SMN1 and SMN2 copy number, as well as SMN1 gene duplication and SMN2 disease modifier variants to inform on silent carrier status and disease prognosis, respectively, in under four hours. The satellite will occur on Monday, June 8, from 12:00 – 13:00 CEST.
Video presentations of the Company’s scientific posters will further highlight the latest product innovations within the growing AmplideX portfolio.
