On-Demand Course: Enhancing FISH Sensitivity
Register now to access a free virtual training course, Enhancing Sensitivity for Detection of Genetic Aberrations in Multiple Myeloma.
In this self-paced course, you’ll learn how to process bone marrow samples and isolate CD138+ plasma cells to increase sensitivity in FISH testing for multiple myeloma.
Topics covered:
- An overview of how bone marrow samples are collected for diagnostic and prognostic testing in multiple myeloma and how the collection process can affect sensitivity of downstream FISH testing
- A demonstration of how sensitivity in FISH testing for multiple myeloma can be improved by upstream isolation of CD138+ plasma cells
- A summary of the bone marrow sample storage parameters affecting cell viability and CD138+ plasma isolation, and a detailed walkthrough on how to process bone marrow samples for optimal CD138+ plasma cell isolation
- A step-by-step description of how to isolate CD138+ plasma cells via manual and automated isolation with the EasySep™ Human Whole Blood and Bone Marrow CD138 Positive Selection Kit II
This on-demand course is divided into 5 sessions, some with associated videos that illustrate how to perform the procedures discussed in the sessions. The sessions should be reviewed sequentially. The sessions range from approximately 15 - 20 minutes in duration and the entire course can be completed in approximately 2 hours.
