BIO-TECHNE TO HIGHLIGHT NOVEL SOLUTIONS FOR CANCER AND CARRIER SCREENING AT AMP 2024 ANNUAL MEETING & EXPO


Customers will present data from their use of novel assays and kits; company will host educational workshops and discussions for attendees

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) today announced its lineup of presentations and activities for the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) 2024 Annual Meeting & Expo, taking place November 19-23 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Asuragen, a Bio-Techne brand, will be exhibiting and showcasing its latest research products for breast cancer monitoring and carrier screening in booth #811.

"The Association for Molecular Pathology is a leading voice in the world of clinical molecular testing. We look forward to its meeting every year to discuss the latest advances in molecular diagnostics and how they can be deployed for improved laboratory outcomes," said Dr. Matt McManus, President of Bio-Techne's Diagnostics & Spatial Biology Segment. "This year, we're excited to highlight important new products that will help labs streamline data collection and analysis in critical areas including metastatic breast cancer and carrier screening."

At the AMP 2024 Annual Meeting & Expo, Asuragen will host, sponsor, or participate in a number of activities and presentations.

ESR1 & Beyond: Leveraging Exosomes for Highly-Sensitive Variant Detection on qPCR

This workshop will showcase the design and performance of the QuantideX® qPCR ESR1 exoMutation Kit combined with the ExoLution Plus cfDNA + exoRNA Isolation Kit to achieve analytical sensitivity of  ≤0.1% across 11 ESR1 mutations, utilizing the power of cfDNA and exosomal RNA to deliver best-in-class performance using commonly-available qPCR instruments.

Speaker: Brian Haynes, PhD, Bio-Techne Diagnostics Division

Date and time: Wednesday, November 20, 3:00-3:50 PM PST

Location: Room 212/213

Long-Range PCR Meets Long-Read Sequencing: An Assay for 11 Hard-to-Decipher, High-Frequency Carrier Screening Associated Genes

This workshop will focus on the design and performance of the AmplideX® Nanopore Carrier Plus Kit, combining AmplideX PCR chemistry with the Oxford Nanopore® platform to identify the most challenging genetic alterations like CNVs, large inversions, and pseudogenes using a consolidated workflow.

Speaker: Paul A. Wadsworth, MD, PhD, Resident Physician, Pathology, Stanford University

Date and time: Wednesday, November 20, 12:00-12:50 PM PST

Location: Room 114/115

Fireside Chat: LDT Compliance in an Uncertain Environment

With so much uncertainty around the FDA's laboratory-developed test (LDT) rule, it is challenging for laboratory leaders to make firm plans for how to achieve compliance. This session will consider three different tactical approaches for stage I of the rule: a) labs actively preparing for compliance; b) labs preparing, but cautiously using resources; and c) labs that are taking a 'wait and see' approach.

Discussion Leader: Jordan Laser, MD, Asuragen

Date and time: Wednesday, November 20, 5:15-6:15 PM PST

Location: Room 211
