Sample Prep 2012

Sample Prep 2012 is a conference that covers topics such as:

• Novel robust sampling and bioforensic techniques in application of field & point-of-care biomedical & clinical applications, biodefense, environmental & agricultural sampling and food & water testing
• Major issues and technologies related to the important phases of real-world sample preparation such as: (Pre-) concentration, Sample collection, Target extraction, Lysis and Transfer to analytical module
• Sample prep-on-a-chip
• Sample prep with microfluidics
• Sample prep as separate vs. integrated module approach
• Alternative sample prep technologies for viruses, toxins & pathogens
• Robust sampling methodologies (automation, high-throughput, combinatorial approach in sample prep)
• Nanotechnology challenges for sample preparation
• Novel methods of extraction from tough (non-filterable) matrices
• Food, water, air, and environmental sampling
• Advanced lateral flow assays for sample prep
• Single use sample concentration modules
• Sample prep technologies for detection/diagnostics vs. pharma
• Nucleic acid or protein based sample prep for next generation sequencing

Sample Prep 2012 brings together experts in sample preparation for identification and detection of toxins, viruses and pathogens.
