Automating Liquid Biopsy: Unleashing New Potential in Diagnostics

Discover how automation increases the efficiency and reliability of blood-based liquid biopsy assays.

Share

Liquid biopsy is a revolutionary molecular diagnostic tool that allows scientists to detect genetic abnormalities or monitor disease progression non-invasively. However, clinicians encounter several challenges when processing and analyzing blood samples, such as inconsistencies in the plasma yield and pipetting errors in the biomarker detection protocol. Automation can improve liquid biopsy workflows.
