New instruments, innovation as problem solvers

July 2026—Roche’s new Cobas Mass Spec solution will be on display this month at the ADLM meeting, as will Diasorin’s new Liaison Nes, Siemens Healthineers’ Atellica DT 250, and much more. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke online in late May with representatives of Roche, Diasorin, Sebia, and Siemens Healthineers about how their instruments will solve some of laboratories’ pressing problems. The conversation follows.

Instruments, test consolidation, and clinical needs

June 2026—Instrumentation for all laboratory testing sites—large and small—was the roundtable topic on April 21 when representatives of Roche, Beckman Coulter, and Siemens Healthineers met online with Moira Larsen, MD, MBA, of MedStar, and Joe Baker of Baylor Scott & White. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle led, with questions about, among other things, AI, testing consolidation, what laboratories expect of vendors, and what laboratories are willing to contribute to the partnership. “We’re happy to help figure out what the bugs are,” Baker says of new instrumentation.

In support of infectious disease diagnostics and public health

June 2026—CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke on March 12 with Jessica Van Allen, PhD, technical support lead for ZeptoMetrix, and Jesse M. Young, PhD, medical director for TriCore Research Institute’s research and clinical trials department and director of point-of-care testing. Dr. Young is also clinical assistant professor at the University of New Mexico.

Bob McGonnagle: Dr. Young, tell us about TriCore and the laboratories you oversee.

Dr. Young (TriCore): TriCore Reference Laboratory is a full-service diagnostic laboratory. The core laboratory offers about 2,900 test codes and has a modality similar to that of Labcorp and Quest, but we’re focused on New Mexican populations. We serve most of the hospitals in the area and have statewide collection sites whereby we’re trying to expand health care and provide coverage for our communities so everyone in the state has access to health care near their home instead of having to drive six hours to the nearest collection site, drive home, and then be called back for a critical value.

Experts talk sequencing platforms and pressures

May 2026—The fast-changing world of sequencing was the topic that a panel of pathologists and industry representatives dug into in a Feb. 27 online roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle.

Speed, scale, and simplicity in microarray analyzer

April 2026—CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke on Feb. 19 with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Ravi Gupta, MBA, VP and general manager; Robert Balog, PhD, MBA, senior director, research and development; and Poulomi Acharya, PhD, senior director, global product management and market development, genetic sciences.

Bob McGonnagle: Thermo Fisher launched last fall the SwiftArrayStudio, a next-generation microarray analyzer that will support genomics research and clinical applications through the use of laboratory-validated and -developed tests. Ravi Gupta, what motivated the development of this analyzer?

Ravi Gupta: The SwiftArrayStudio resulted from listening to customers. It addresses the scientific and operational pressures observed in modern genomics. I call them the real-world needs. For decades, labs across human predictive genomics and agrigenomics have dealt with persistent challenges in workflow complexity, inconsistent turnaround times, and escalating costs.

Pathologists, vendors talk LIS-IMS integration

February 2026—Cybersecurity and image management are key concerns for laboratories adopting digital pathology and AI. While cloud-based systems offer enhanced security and scalability, onboarding new vendors and instruments remains challenging due to stringent security requirements and potential vulnerabilities.
