The lab is certified to perform high complexity tests by the Connecticut Department of Health and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1988. Its molecular diagnostics department has introduced the nation’s first routine DNA sequencing-based no-false positive HPV genotyping, Neisseria gonorrhoeae opa gene DNA amplification assay, and Chlamydia trachomatis cryptic plasmid DNA amplification assay for women’s health care management. The nucleic acids of these three sexually transmitted infectious agents can be detected in a single liquid-based Pap cytology specimen (Cytyc or Surepath) with targeted nested PCR amplification, followed by direct DNA sequencing for final validation. MML is a leader in developing molecular diagnostic procedures to facilitate transferring the advanced PCR/direct DNA sequencing biotechnology into community hospital laboratories.
