EDTA: The Push for Increasing Molecular Yield

EDTA: The Push for Increasing Molecular Yield
Presented by Michelle Bell, HT(ASCP)QIHC

There is an increased interest in utilization of EDTA for decalcification of bone and bone marrow specimens. This stems from a need to improve downstream testing results for molecular, DNA, and RNA assays. The issue with this is the time it takes to achieve proper decalcification. This workshop will discuss the following 1. Why is EDTA considered optimal for molecular testing? 2. How beneficial is using EDTA when performing DNA/RNA assays? 3. What methods/instrumentation can be used to accelerate this process?

The NSH Laboratory Webinar Program

Histology Focused...NSH Laboratory Webinars are a great, inexpensive way to provide continuing education to a large number of employees.  You have access to the live session AND the recordings for one year.  The cost for each session is the same regardless of the number of attendees!

How does it work? 

Step 1: Select a primary contact.  Your primary lab contact will receive the login details for the live event and the recording access information. 

Step 2: The primary contact registers for the webinar series, or select webinars.  You can also add a back-up contact who will be copied on this information. Add them when the primary contact is registered. 

Step 3: Confirm/pay for sessions - one time, one price, no matter how large your lab.

Step 4: About 1 week before each live event, your primary lab contact will receive a unique zoom link to join the live presentation.  Lab contacts can forward those details to everyone in their lab. 

Step 5: Watch the live event, or watch the recording which will be emailed to the lab contact about 1 week after the live webinar.  You will have access for one year from the date of the live airing.
