[0002] Medical diagnostic assays are very important screening tools for the early detection of pathological conditions. Early detection allows the identification of such conditions (disorders) at a stage when treatment success is more likely. Early treatment is also often accompanied by less invasive or less invasive treatment methods, resulting in less impact on the patient. In addition to routine screening, diagnostic tests are used in a variety of other applications, including analysis of biopsies and monitoring the effects of ongoing medical treatments.
