Glossary Term
A purification method in which nucleic acids bind to paramagnetic beads and are collected with a magnet through wash steps. It automates well, which is why most high-throughput extraction platforms are bead-based; compare deck footprint and sample capacity when shortlisting systems.
Tests
A microalbumin creatinine ratio urine test checks the levels of the protein albumin in your urine (pee). Abnormal amounts of this protein may be an early sign of kidney disease .

Research record from Hemasphere, 2026-06-18. PMID 42325850.
Tests
An MTHFR gene test checks a sample of your blood for two very common changes in a gene called MTHFR . Changes in your genes are also called gene variants or mutations.

Tests
The determination of the DNA from the multiple human papillomavirus types that are also considered as high risk for causing cancer, in a sample.
Article
Research record from Sci Rep, 2026-03-03. PMID 41775887.
Tests
Natriuretic peptides are proteins that your heart and blood vessels make. Natriuretic peptide tests measure the amount of these proteins in a sample of your blood. They are mainly used to help confirm or rule out heart failure in people who have symptoms.
Article
Research record from J Anal Toxicol, 2026-06-01. PMID 42302757.
Tests
Pharmacogenetics (also called pharmacogenomics ) is the study of how your genes affect the way your body responds to certain medicines . Genes are parts of DNA in your cells that you inherit from your parents. You inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Genes carry information that controls what you look like and how your body works.
Tests
A PKU screening test measures the amount of a protein called phenylalanine (Phe) in a sample of a newborn's blood. Phe is in all foods that contain protein such as milk, meats, and nuts. It's also in an artificial sweetener called aspartame. If a newborn has high levels of Phe in their blood, it could mean that they have phenylketonuria (PKU).
Tests
A potassium blood test measures the amount of potassium in your blood. Potassium is a type of electrolyte . Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that help control the amount of fluids and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. They also help control muscle and nerve activity and perform other important functions.
