AACC 2008: DCN presented a variety of workshops and talks at the AACC in Washington DC this year. The presentations can be found in our Library section
Industry Workshop: Presented by DCN and ESE: Application of Fluorescence in Next Generation Lateral Flow Assays
Abstract: In this workshop, attendees were introduced to a variety of portable handheld and benchtop fluorescent and visual lateral flow assay readers, and to a variety of custom labels designed specifically for use in high sensitivity lateral flow applications. A variety of clinically relevant assay systems were presented that demonstrate the increase in sensitivity that can be achieved with these custom fluorescent labels, compared to standard visual labels such as colloidal gold.
Whatman / GE Healthcare Workshop and Reception: The New Frontier for Lateral Flow Assays
Abstract: Dr Brendan O’Farrell presented on “Evolution in Rapid Assays” at this special event and reception sponsored by Whatman /GE Healthcare.
OEM Lecture: Development of a novel lateral-flow assay for Bacillus anthracis protective antigen
Abstract: DCN’s Vice President of R&D, Dr Roy Chung, presented data from a highly sensitive assay for Bacillus anthracis that combines novel fluorescent labels with a low cost, field use reader.
