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

Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

June 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced that its DxC 500i clinical analyzer received FDA 510(k) clearance. The integrated chemistry and immunoassay analyzer has a throughput of up to 800 clinical chemistry tests and 100 immunoassay tests per hour and features FlexMode operations, which prioritize immunoassay and chemistry testing according to each sample’s urgency.
June 2025—Qiagen announced the launch of its QIAprep& Plasmodium kit and two companion assays to support malaria research and surveillance efforts. The solution combines sample preparation and quantitative PCR into one workflow and detects all five Plasmodium species in human samples. The QIAprep& technology detects as little as one parasite per microliter, is compatible with liquid and dried blood samples, and is suitable for use on many qPCR platforms, including the company’s Rotor-Gene Q.
June 2025—QuidelOrtho Corp. announced the availability of the QuidelOrtho Results Manager system, an informatics solution designed to provide a seamless, user-friendly experience for community hospitals and point-of-care settings, strengthening informatics capabilities across QuidelOrtho’s diagnostics portfolio. The system provides continuous tracking of instruments and assays, streamlines workflows with autoverification and simplified rule-writing tools, and integrates with multiple instruments and unlimited concurrent users.
June 2025—Ibex Medical Analytics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for Ibex Prostate Detect, an in vitro diagnostic, software only medical device that analyzes scanned histopathology whole slide images from prostate core needle biopsies prepared from H&E-stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. If tissue suspicious for prostate cancer is identified, the system provides case- and slide-level alerts and includes an AI-generated heat map that identifies small and rare missed prostatic cancers.
June 2025—Integrated DNA Technologies unveiled its xGen Hybridization and Wash version 3 kit. The kit features a high-throughput workflow that eliminates heated buffers and reduces hands-on time by 20 percent. The one-hour hybridization step delivers high-quality results and enables users to get from sample to sequencer in one day. The kit supports library inputs as low as 100 ng and pairs with xGen predesigned or custom Hyb panels and xGen Blocking Oligos.
June 2025—Maine Molecular Quality Controls announced the release of the FilmArray TF control panel, for users of the FDA-cleared BioFire FilmArray tropical fever panel. The multiplexed control is intended for use as an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures for the qualitative detection of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens. The kit includes six 200-μL positive controls and six 200-μL negative controls.
June 2025—Labcorp and North Mississippi Health Services announced that Labcorp has completed its acquisition of North Mississippi Health Services’ ambulatory outreach laboratory business and is now a referral laboratory for NMHS’ seven hospitals and clinic laboratories. In addition, Labcorp will open three patient service centers in Tupelo, West Point, and Amory by midyear to increase availability of laboratory services in North Mississippi.
June 2025—Diasorin announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Liaison Plex Gram-negative blood culture assay, the second of the company’s three multiplex molecular panels for blood culture pathogen identification on the Liaison Plex. The assay is designed to identify 27 targets—19 Gram-negative bacteria and eight relevant resistance gene targets, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter species, Citrobacter species, Enterobacter species, and Proteus species. Results are available about two hours after a Gram stain.
June 2025—Visby Medical announced it has received 510(k) clearance and was granted a CLIA waiver from the FDA for its point-of-care Medical Respiratory Health test. The PCR test detects and differentiates between upper respiratory infections caused by influenza A and B and SARS-CoV-2 and provides results in less than 30 minutes.
June 2025—Mayo Clinic Laboratories and Kyan Technologies announced a collaboration to validate and provide Kyan’s Optim.AI across the United States. Optim.AI is an ex vivo drug sensitivity platform that combines small data AI and biological experiments. It provides insights into therapies for cancer patients and delivers efficiencies for cancer drug development. Mayo Clinic Labs will provide testing for physicians and researchers to support clinical and research decision-making for better treatment options.
