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.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

June 2021—OptraScan launched the OS-Ultra 320 high-speed digital pathology scanner. The OS-Ultra 320 scans a 15- × 15-mm region at 40 × magnification in less than 60 seconds and features no-touch, continuous loading operation. The scanner uses real-time autofocus and offers a resolution of 0.25 μm/pixel. It accepts 25- × 75-mm and 50- × 75-mm slides with slide tolerances of ± 1 mm long, ± 1 mm wide, and ± 0.2 mm thick.
June 2021—AccuTec Blades launched its 2021 histology catalog under the new medical brand name, AccuThrive.
June 2021—PerkinElmer launched two research use only solutions, PKamp VariantDetect SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay and the next-generation-sequencing–based Nextflex Variant-Seq SARS-CoV-2 Kit. The PKamp VariantDetect SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay can detect mutations associated with B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1 variants. The Nextflex Variant-Seq SARS-CoV-2 WGS workflow can detect all SARS-CoV-2 genetic changes relative to the strain originally identified in Wuhan, China.
June 2021—CellBlockistry 101—The Textbook of Cell-Blocking Science addresses the cell-block-making process and cell-blocking-related challenges with advances in improved interdisciplinary coordination for optimal outcome and ongoing research in the field. The book is intended for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, cytoprep technologists, and others in fields associated with cell blocks directly or indirectly, including histotechnologists and radiologists.
June 2021—Biocept announced it will collaborate with Protean BioDiagnostics to research the ability of Biocept’s Target Selector molecular assay to determine EGFR status in non-small cell lung cancer patients.
June 2021—Diazyme Laboratories obtained CE-IVD marking for its SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody test, a high-throughput chemiluminescent immunoassay.
June 2021—Mikroscan Technologies announced the availability of its upgraded 5-20 series line of telemicroscopy and digital pathology systems, featuring a 20-slide autoloader.
June 2021—Roche and GenMark Diagnostics have entered into a definitive merger agreement for Roche to acquire GenMark for about $1.8 billion on a fully diluted basis. GenMark’s syndromic panel testing portfolio will complement Roche’s molecular diagnostics portfolio, and Roche’s global network will enable expanded reach for GenMark’s products.
June 2021—Beckman Coulter’s Access SARS-CoV-2 IgG II antibody assay received emergency use authorization from the FDA. The semiquantitative assay measures a patient’s level of antibodies in response to a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and provides a qualitative and numerical result of antibodies in arbitrary units. It measures IgG antibodies directed to the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein of the coronavirus.
June 2021—Bio-Techne Corp. has reached an agreement to acquire Asuragen for initial consideration of $215 million in cash plus contingent consideration of up to $105 million upon the achievement of certain future milestones.
