Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

Savings follow allergy, autoimmune test consolidation

December 2023—Hoi-Ying Elsie Yu, PhD, D(ABCC), isn’t new to workflow optimization. As system director of chemistry, point-of-care testing, and preanalytics for Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., for the past decade, she has undertaken initiatives to maximize efficiency in complicated parts of the laboratory whenever she can.

Tests for paraneoplastic syndromes in neurology

September 2023—Laboratory testing for paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes is neither commonplace nor cheap. It also comes with its own enigmatical math, as Michael Levy, MD, PhD, recently experienced. As the director of the Neuroimmunology Clinic and Research Laboratory in Massachusetts General Hospital’s Department of Neurology, Dr. Levy keeps an eye on PNS laboratory testing (which is performed at Mayo Clinic) at his institution.

Sorting out celiac disease with serologic testing

April 2023—Celiac disease incidence is up and the diagnostic rate is low, and it can be years from onset of symptoms to diagnosis. “It’s a long diagnostic odyssey, and so in the laboratory business, we’re all in to help,” says Annette Taylor, MS, PhD, associate vice president at Labcorp where she is strategic director of pharmacogenomics and scientific director of molecular genetics.

Monoclonal gammopathies: which tests and why

July 2022—Variability in testing for monoclonal immunoglobulin proteins was in part what led to the new guideline on laboratory detection and initial diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathies, published in May.
