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.
