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.

This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

June 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has cleared the Thermo Scientific Brahms PlGF Plus Kryptor and Brahms sFlt-1 Kryptor novel biomarkers, both of which received breakthrough designation from the FDA.
June 2023—LGC SeraCare has developed a comprehensive solid tumor copy number variation reference material in a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded format. The Seraseq FFPE Solid Tumor CNV RM includes 12 clinically relevant CNVs associated with solid tumors. Amplifications of these target genes are quantitated by digital PCR, blended in a well-characterized genomic background, and validated with next-generation sequencing. One 10-μm FFPE curl is provided per vial, and the product is designed to give a minimum yield of 100 ng per curl.
June 2023—Proteomedix (Schlieren, Switzerland) announced an exclusive license agreement in which Labcorp will develop and commercialize its Proclarix prostate specific antigen test in the United States. Proclarix is performed using the same blood sample as a PSA test and is designed to help determine the risk of clinically significant prostate cancer for men who have an elevated total PSA and a digital rectal examination finding that indicates elevated prostate volume but who are not suspected of having cancer.
June 2023—Quansys Biosciences has developed Q-Plex Bovine Cytokine Panel 1 (5-plex), an ELISA kit that can measure five levels of bovine and African water buffalo cytokines in plasma, serum, and cell culture supernatants. Each kit contains a 96-well plate featuring the relevant biomarker panel in each well and all reagents required to perform testing.
June 2023—Hologic announced the FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for its Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV assay. This molecular diagnostic test, previously under EUA, detects and differentiates SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus. It runs on the Panther Fusion system, which provides initial results in about three hours and can process more than 1,000 tests in 24 hours.
June 2023—Trane Technologies has acquired Helmer Scientific. Trane says the acquisition will broaden its capabilities in precision temperature control and its existing portfolio of life science solutions under the Farrar brand. Trane will leverage its operating system and expertise in sustainability, services, worldwide distribution, and commercialization to accelerate Helmer’s continued growth.
June 2023—Beckman Coulter unveiled its DxI 9000 Access immunoassay analyzer. The analyzer can run up to 215 tests per hour per square meter and does not require daily maintenance; its weekly maintenance time is less than 15 minutes. It is available in most countries.
June 2023—BD received FDA 510(k) clearance for the BD Kiestra methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus imaging application, which uses artificial intelligence to automate the task of inspecting Petri dishes to determine if there is bacterial growth. The application can evaluate single specimens or group together a large volume of plates with nonsignificant growth for batch review and release negative results. It uses AI algorithms to look for specific culture characteristics on the BBL Chromagar MRSA II plate. Based on that information and analysis by BD Synapsys informatics, plate images are automatically organized and sorted into meaningful worklists, the company says.
June 2023—Verichem Laboratories offers multilevel calibration verification materials for cholinesterase activity as part of its liquid-stable and ready-to-use Enzyme ER Verifier kit. The verifiers are designed to include at least one concentration level of enzyme activity within the normal range and intended to be treated as patient specimens. The material’s protein balance, pH, and ion content are constant across concentration levels. The kit material also contains multilevel assigned activities for alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-amylase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and lipase. Each kit has 5 mL of material for each of the six levels and a shelf-life and open-vial stability of 18 months.
June 2023—Randox Labs has released two new products, a prostate-specific antigen and brain natriuretic peptide control. The liquid-frozen PSA is manufactured using human serum and has an open-vial stability of 30 days at 2°–8°C and a shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture. The control is optimized for use with Roche systems but is also suitable for use across a variety of other platforms, the company says.
