Covaris Industry Symposium
FFPE is the most abundant clinical sample type used in cancer research. However, extracting high-quality genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data from FFPE remains a major challenge. This symposium explores robust and reliable sample preparation workflows that transform FFPE from a difficult specimen into a powerful resource for multi-Omics analysis. Experts will highlight AFA enabled workflows that maximize analyte recovery, preserve molecular integrity, and deliver confident results for DNA, RNA, and proteins. Discover how integrated, automation ready workflows can provide deeper insights from FFPE, thereby accelerating biomarker discovery, translational research, and precision oncology.
