Conference Materials

Many different investigators and institutions are conducting ongoing studies of xTAG RVP in clinical use. These downloadable posters (PDF and PowerPoint formats) outline the latest findings, as presented at major clinical conferences. Please note that Tm Bioscience is now Luminex Molecular Diagnostics, and that ID-Tag is the former name for xTAG.
