CLINICAL24 sets the stage for global discussion around lab medicine

Editorial article

SelectScience® has announced the launch of #CLINICAL24, the clinical industry’s biggest global media celebration of the clinical laboratory medicine profession. Taking place from Oct 1 – Dec 31, 2024.

Supported by companies and societies, including the ADLM, the IBMS, the UK Sepsis Trust and the Global Sepsis Alliance, this flagship 3-month campaign will highlight a typical day in the clinical lab.

Join us as we explore critical challenges, technology solutions and breakthrough clinical science being employed around the world, through useful and practical information, engaging content and conversation.

Sonia Nicholas, Managing Editor and Clinical Lead says ‘CLINICAL24 is a chance to bring together the voices of everyone involved in delivering laboratory science. We want to provide a platform for those voices to be heard, so that we can discuss day-to-day challenges in the clinical lab and explore the technology solutions to overcome them. Our invitation is open to all involved in this industry, laboratory staff, point-of-care professionals, clinicians, societies, associations and the manufacturers who provide technology solutions.’

Conversations during CLINICAL24 will take the form of live roundtable discussions, clinically accredited webinar sessions, interviews, articles and educational content.

To be kept informed of the latest activities, become a member of SelectScience today.

Manufacturers are invited to participate in the CLINICAL24 conversation, contact us today at insightsteam@selectscience.net to learn more about marketing opportunities available during the campaign.


Supported by The Association of Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM), the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), The UK Sepsis Trust, and the Global Sepsis Alliance.

Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments. Find the best microbiology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.CLINICAL24CLINICAL24 is a global conversation, hosted by SelectScience for the medical laboratory profession and all those that support it. The purpose of CLINICAL24 is to highlight current lab challenges, and to explore the technology solutions to overcome them.
