4th Sample Prep - Sample Preparation for Pathogen Detection



Sample Prep is an internationally recognized event for experts in sample preparation for detection and identification of viruses, toxins and pathogens.

This conference will address the major issues and state-of-the-art in the technologies for real-world sample preparation. Specific topics to be explored when world leaders convene for this high-level symposium include:

  • The Critical Role of Sample Prep in Biodefense
  • Improvements in Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction & Purification
  • Clinical and Point-of-Care Applications for Advanced Sample Prep Technologies
  • Overcoming Sample Prep Challenges for Food & Water Safety
  • Advances in Microfluidic Technologies for Sample Preparation
  • Integrating Sample Prep and Detection into Commercial Systems
