We invite specialists in the field of genetics, transplantation, immunology and bacteriology to join the programme of the event within the framework of the PUBLIC HEALTH exhibition ‘Modern technologies of laboratory medicine and their use in clinical practice’.
Date: 3 October 2024
Time: 15:45-17:30
Venue: 33rd International Medical Exhibition PUBLIC HEALTH 2024, Conference Hall 1
Programme of the event:
16:45 – Modern methods of laboratory diagnostics in transplantation. Automation and acceleration of the HLA genotyping process in the PCR laboratory with results in 1.5 hours.
Speaker: Andrii Alexandrov, PhD, Medical Company ‘Empiriсa’
Description: There are many patients who need organ transplants and are on the waiting list. In Ukraine, organ transplants from unrelated donors, victims of accidents, etc. are allowed. In this case, the organ is viable for a short period of time. In order to select the most compatible patient, it is mandatory to use modern laboratory diagnostic methods such as HLA genotyping by real-time PCR. We offer equipment, reagents, and software for automating HLA genotyping. Automation of the HLA genotyping method eliminates user errors during manual reagent preparation procedures and speeds up the total analysis time to 1.5 hours.
17:00 – Sepsis – fast treatment saves lives. Diagnosing sepsis from whole blood in 3 hours without the need for long-term bacterial culture.
Speaker: Iryna Alexandrova, PhD, Medical Company ‘Empiriсa’
Description: Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. According to WHO data published in 2020, there were 48.9 million cases and 11 million deaths related to sepsis worldwide, accounting for 20% of the total number of deaths in the world. The exact statistics of sepsis cases in Ukraine are not known. Rapid diagnosis is vital, but currently takes 2 days or more. For every hour of delayed treatment, mortality increases by 7.6%. Thanks to the development of molecular technologies, the diagnosis of sepsis can be reduced from several days to 3 hours directly from whole blood.
