The medical laboratory is a supporting pillar of modern healthcare. Laboratory findings with analyses of blood, urine and other body fluids provide valuable insights from infection diagnostics and innovative screening procedures to therapy monitoring. Here you will find information on sample management, pre- and postanalytics, clinical chemistry, haematology and much more.
Using machine learning, researchers have trained an electronic nose to detect early signs of ovarian cancer in the blood. The method could eventually be used to find many different cancers.
Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in‑vitro fertilization, yet it remains one of the most uncertain. A new type of hydrogel offers hope for more successful IVF.
Analytik Jena will be presenting new automation solutions for laboratory workflows at the SLAS 2026 International Conference & Exhibition (February 7–11). A particular highlight is the launch of the PULSEspencer R – the first model in a digital and contactless dispenser series in the company's portfolio.
A new type of lab-grown organoid that mimics the behaviour of a human stomach could boost the understanding of rare gastric diseases, researchers say.
The Blood Transfusion service at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) has implemented Clinisys WinPath LIMS, marking the first deployment of this system in Wales.
Analytical and measurement technology copany Horiba has obtained CE IVDR certification for its new Yumizen H500 CRP benchtop hematology analyzer, designed for small laboratories.
Non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain or weight loss can be caused by cancer, another serious condition or something completely harmless. A blood test can help provide relevant information.
Siemens Healthineers, with funding from the Gates Foundation, plans to develop artificial intelligence (AI) to enable earlier prediction of pre-eclampsia and anemia in low-resource settings.
An international study shows that Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to a laboratory.
With antimicrobial resistance causing over 5 million deaths annually, rapid outbreak detection is critical. A German lab demonstrates how FTIR spectroscopy can transform hospital infection control.
Now, a research team has developed a novel diagnostic approach that enables the rapid and simultaneous detection of both antibiotic resistance and high virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
New research shows that a harmless strain of Klebsiella – discovered by chance in laboratory experiments – can eliminate infections and reduce gut inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Current scores to assess the severity of illness in ICU patients often fail in international contexts. Researchers now call for a global scoring system based on universally available data.
The NanoZoomer S540MD by Hamamatsu is engineered with the lab in mind for a seamless workflow. Featuring compatibility with staining racks, fast slide scanning, exceptional image quality, and an intuitive touchscreen interface, this high-capacity scanner is built to handle the needs of the clinical pathology laboratory.
An international research team has discovered a promising new therapeutic approach for aggressive prostate cancer – in the thyroid gland.
An innovative Group A Streptococcus “One-Step Antigen Extraction + Detection” Kit (immunochromatography), developed by GenSure Biotech Inc., has successfully obtained both Class B and Class C EU IVDR certifications for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
Researchers have developed a tool to quickly quantify changes in the branches of mouse mammary glands. This could one day be used to detect early warning signs of breast cancer.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham’s Bladder Cancer Research Centre have found a new way of detecting tumour DNA in urine to identify bladder cancer.
A biodegradable, electroconductive self-healing hydrogel combined with acupuncture could help restore motor function and protect brain neurons in Parkinson’s disease models.
