Glossary Term

Diagnostic Specificity

The probability that a test will produce a true negative result when used on non-effected subjects as compared to a reference or "gold standard". The specificity of a test can be determined by calculating: number of true negative results divided by the sum of true negative results plus number of false positive results.

Glossary Term

DNA Isolation

Any method that extracts and purifies DNA from biological samples, which can include the proper handling of biological samples prior to nucleic acid isolation, the separation of DNA from the rest of the components in the samples, and the storage of the DNA isolates.

Extraction Methodology

Tests

Double Marker Test

A blood test done near the end of the first trimester of pregnancy to screen for common chromosomal defects. This test screens for blood levels of both free beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and can detect trisomies of chromosomes 21 (Down's syndrome), chromosome 18 (Edward's syndrome), and chromosome 13 (Patau's syndrome).

For professionals

Research record from Anal Chim Acta, 2026-05-19. PMID 42230014.

Article

Effects of washing procedures on cell loss in different diagnostic flow cytometry sample types.

Research record from Cytometry B Clin Cytom, 2026-07-05. PMID 42402993.
