Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.

December 2025—Integrated DNA Technologies and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences are forming a strategic partnership to automate IDT’s customizable next-generation-sequencing assay solutions on Beckman Coulter’s newly launched Biomek i3 benchtop liquid handler. Through this partnership, the companies will work to automate IDT’s Archer FusionPlex and VariantPlex targeted sequencing assays and xGen Hybrid Capture workflows on the Biomek i3 system.
December 2025—HemoSonics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for expanded use of its Quantra hemostasis system with QStat cartridges in peripartum obstetric procedures. It is the first FDA-cleared viscoelastic testing platform for obstetric bleeding, according to a company press release. The system uses SEER (sonic estimation of elasticity via resonance) sonorheometry to measure the coagulation properties of a whole blood sample. It provides results in about 15 minutes.
December 2025—Diasorin has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Simplexa COVID-19/Flu A/B and RSV Direct kit, a sample-to-answer test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus directly from nasopharyngeal and nasal swab specimens. The kit runs on the Liaison MDX system and provides differential detection in about 45 minutes.
December 2025—The Journal of Clinical Microbiology has published an article describing ARUP Laboratories’ validation of a deep convolutional neural network to detect parasites in concentrated wet mounts of stool.
December 2025—Smart In Media has released version 3.2 of its PathoZoom Scan and LiveView. The new version includes enhancements to workflow, image transmission, and LIS integration.
December 2025—Qiagen has entered into a definitive agreement to fully acquire Parse Biosciences, a provider of scalable, instrument-free solutions for single-cell research, for $225 million. The acquisition will expand Qiagen’s Sample technologies portfolio into the single-cell sequencing market with highly scalable chemistry designed to power research involving millions of billions of cells, according to a press release from Qiagen. Parse’s scalable chemistry is also expected to accelerate growth in Qiagen’s digital insights bioinformatics business.
December 2025—The FDA has approved QuidelOrtho Corp.’s Micro Typing Systems DAT card, a gel-based solution for direct antiglobulin testing, and the Ortho Vision platform, an automated blood testing system.
December 2025—The Food and Drug Administration has granted expanded clearance for use of the FecalSwab sample type across all Qiagen QIAstat-Dx gastrointestinal panels, enabling full pathogen detection, including of Shiga toxin–producing E. coli and enteropathogenic E. coli. STEC and EPEC can now be reported when testing by FecalSwab collected from stool samples with the QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2, including detection of clinically relevant STEC subtypes such as stx2f. STEC can now also be reported for the QIAstat-Dx GI Panel 2 Mini B and QIAstat-Dx GI Panel 2 Mini B&V.
December 2025—Proscia is introducing virtual staining, powered by Pictor Labs, to its Concentriq software platform to help laboratories reduce the costs associated with traditional chemical methods and drive efficiency in high-throughput workflows. Virtual staining uses AI models to replicate the effects of stains on tissue images. These models can generate a whole slide virtually stained image from label-free inputs in a few minutes. The company will integrate a menu of H&E, immunohistochemical, and special stains into Concentriq.
