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.

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.

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.

Resources, interfaces—LIS vendors and lab experts talk

November 2025—A roundtable discussion on laboratory information systems (LIS) highlighted the challenges labs face in meeting increasing demands with limited resources. The conversation emphasized the need for improved interoperability, automation, and flexibility in LIS to address complex testing workflows and workforce shortages.

Focus on instruments: scalability, timelines, and IT

June 2025—Chemistry and immunoassay analyzers—the customer input that shapes their development and the laboratory acquisition process and timeline. That and more, including the IT obstacles and solutions, were the focus of a roundtable, led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. He spoke with Moira Larsen, MD, MBA, of MedStar Health; Joe Baker of Baylor Scott & White; and representatives of Beckman Coulter, Roche, and Siemens Healthineers.
