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 Center, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

February 2023—Vistapath has introduced its flagship product, the Sentinel pathology processing platform. The platform uses machine vision combined with artificial intelligence to assess specimens and create a gross report in a few seconds. It consists of the Sentinel module, which measures 17 in. W × 12 in. D × 15 in. H, and the touchscreen, which measures 15 in. W × 8 in. D × 11 in. H.
January 2023—QuidelOrtho will form a joint venture between Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Trading, a subsidiary of QuidelOrtho, and Shanghai Medconn Biotechnology, a subsidiary of Shanghai Runda Medical Technology, to develop and manufacture assays in China for QuidelOrtho’s Vitros platform. Following a successful assay pilot program, the companies expect to begin developing a broader set of assays early this year in parallel with building out the joint venture organization in the Shanghai and Beijing areas.
February 2023—Qiagen announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Helix to advance companion diagnostics for hereditary diseases. Under the agreement, Qiagen will be the exclusive marketing and contracting partner in the United States for Helix’s companion diagnostic services.
January 2023—PerkinElmer announced that the FDA has authorized the marketing of its Eonis SCID-SMA assay kit for in vitro diagnostic use by certified laboratories for the detection of spinal muscular atrophy and severe combined immunodeficiency in newborns. This is the first FDA-authorized assay for SMA screening in newborns in the United States, the company says, and is part of the company’s Eonis platform. The Eonis platform is a robust, flexible system that uses real-time PCR technology to screen for SMA and SCID using a single dried blood spot sample.
February 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced more than 50 Absolute Q liquid biopsy assays for research use. The wet lab verified liquid biopsy assays provide highly sensitive, specific nucleic acid quantification, enabling single nucleotide polymorphisms detection down to 0.1 percent variant allele frequency.
February 2023—Agilent Technologies announced a partnership with Akoya Biosciences to develop chromogenic and immunofluorescent multiplex assays that include spatial analysis for biopharma companies developing precision cancer therapeutics. The agreement aims to deliver an end-to-end multiplex solution integrating Agilent’s Dako Omnis staining instrument and Akoya’s PhenoImager HT imaging platform.
February 2023—BD has introduced a robotic track system for the BD Kiestra microbiology laboratory solution that automates lab specimen processing. The BD Kiestra third-generation total lab automation system allows laboratories to create a custom and flexible total lab automation configuration to connect multiple BD Kiestra modules.
February 2022—Qiagen has launched its EZ2 Connect MDx for use in diagnostic laboratories. The platform enables labs to purify DNA and RNA from up to 24 samples at the same time in as few as 30 minutes and uses magnetic-bead technology to extract nucleic acids from blood plasma, serum, stool, and other sample types. The benchtop instrument automatically pierces sealed cartridges, heats samples for incubation, and automates pipetting of beads, buffers, and enzymes. It can be used in research or IVD mode and monitored and managed remotely using the QIAsphere app.
February 2023—SD Biosensor and SJL Partners LLC, both based in South Korea, have completed the transaction to acquire Meridian Bioscience. Meridian will continue to operate as an independent entity, under new ownership, headquartered in Cincinnati. Meridian offers immunoassay and molecular raw materials for human and veterinarian diagnostics testing, and it plans to add service capabilities for lyophilized bead and lateral flow test manufacturing.
February 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has granted emergency use authorization for its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Monkeypox/Orthopox Virus DNA kit, a polymerase chain reaction test designed to detect non-variola orthopoxviruses, including monkeypox virus, in approximately three-and-a-half hours. The test is intended for the qualitative detection of DNA from monkeypox virus (clades one and two) and screening for non-variola orthopoxviruses in human lesion swab specimens from patients suspected of monkeypox infection by their health care provider. The test is for in vitro diagnostic use.
