The target yield increase is accomplished by combining the ability to process a wide range of sample volumes (3–50 mL) with recovery rates of 70–90 percent.
Sept. 20, 2019–Roche received FDA approval for the Cobas Babesia test for use on the Cobas 6800 and Cobas 8800 systems. It is a qualitative in vitro nucleic acid screening test for the direct detection of babesia (B. microti, B. duncani, B. divergens, and B. venatorum) DNA and RNA in whole blood samples from individual human donors, including donors of whole blood and blood components, and other living donors.
Sept. 18, 2019—Nova Biomedical announced the release of its Stat Profile Prime ES Comp Plus. The analyzer offers a complete electrolyte profile, including ionized magnesium, and optional serial batch testing on whole blood, serum, or plasma.

Aug. 30, 2019—Roche announced the expanded use of its Ventana PD-L1 (SP142) Assay in triple-negative breast cancer for patients living in CE markets where Tecentriq is approved. It is the first companion diagnostic to aid in identifying triple-negative breast cancer patients eligible for treatment with Tecentriq (atezolizumab) plus chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel). The announcement follows the FDA approval of the assay in March as the first companion diagnostic to identify triple-negative breast cancer patients eligible for the Tecentriq combination.
