What is Green?特集記事 (Knowledge Pathway) Practicing sustainability in the histology laboratory shapes paradigms in four fundamental ways: minimizing our impact on the Earth, maintaining our well-being, decreasing the cost of waste management in the laboratory, and discovering new processes affecting our daily work. From Cytogenetics to Cytogenomics - Top 5 Reasons to Automate FFPE Tissue FISH ProcessingCase StudiesCytogenetics has played a pivotal role in clinical and cancer diagnostics for over 60 years. The use of genomic technologies speeds targeted genetic analysis - but can high throughput automation in the cytogenetics laboratory broaden traditional approaches? From Cytogenetics to Cytogenomics - Top 5 Reasons to Automate FFPE Tissue FISH ProcessingCase StudiesCytogenetics has played a pivotal role in clinical and cancer diagnostics for over 60 years. The use of genomic technologies speeds targeted genetic analysis - but can high throughput automation in the cytogenetics laboratory broaden traditional approaches? The Importance of Cytogenomics in the Diagnostic PathwayEditorial (Knowledge Pathway) Cytogenomics is the study of genetics that studies chromosomes and their relation to diseases. Through a combined analysis of chromosomes and molecular tests, clinicians can better understand and treat disease states. Introduction to Lean Principles in the Cytogenomics LaboratoryInterviews and Q&A (Knowledge Pathway) By using continuous quality improvement, we can build consistency through standardization that can reduce errors and provide reproducible results. Many laboratories have questions about Lean practices and different ways it can be impactful to cytogenomics. Cytogenetics: A Blueprint for Building Quality, Interconnected and Efficient Laboratory ProcessWebinars (Knowledge Pathway) April Schrank-Hacker will offer a holistic look at the Cytogenetics laboratory workflow to increase confidence and accuracy in the final diagnosis.
