In many ways, the success of the treatment of children with cancer depends on the timely high-precision diagnosis. A special sequencing study helps to establish a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.
To conduct it, need a fluorimeter — a device that measures the concentration of DNA isolated from the patient's blood or tissue. It is needed at different stages of the study. For example, when receiving the patient's material.
«Unfortunately, we don't have our own device in the clinic right now. I have to go to another building, rent a fluorimeter. It's not very good. Firstly, samples have to be moved the street. Secondly, the explore time increases. The fluorimeter is an important part of it. And we cannot do without its use», — says Sergey Smirnov, a researcher at the research laboratory of Pediatric Neuroimmunooncology.
According to Yulia Dinikina, head of the Department of Chemotherapy for Oncohematological Diseases and TCM for Children of the Almazov National Research Medical Center, studies are conducted on a regular basis, about 40-50 times a year. The fluorimeter will improve their quality and help doctors treat children with cancer more effectively.
