The court’s decision upholds Qiagen’s intellectual property rights involving the German part of European patent EP 3 421 997, which protects key innovations in tuberculosis detection. Patents covering these innovations have been issued to Qiagen in several other countries, the company said in a press statement, and form part of a group of more than 120 patents currently issued for QuantiFeron.

Leica Biosystems launches HistoCore Chromax WS

March 2025—Leica Biosystems announced the next iteration in its staining and coverslipping portfolio, the HistoCore Chromax Workstation. The HistoCore Chromax WS includes a reagent management system and features graphical, touchscreen interfaces. It is for in vitro diagnostic use and available in select countries.

Illumina unveils spatial transcriptomics technology

March 2025—Illumina announced a new spatial technology program that the company says will empower researchers to map complex tissues and understand cellular behavior at an unprecedented scale. Enabled on Illumina sequencers and a new multimodal analysis platform, Illumina Connected Multiomics, the spatial technology delivers unbiased whole-transcriptome profiling with cellular resolution and high sensitivity. The technology will allow researchers to examine the spatial proximity of millions of cells per experiment, enabled by a capture area nine times larger than existing technologies and with four times greater resolution. It is compatible with Illumina NextSeq and NovaSeq sequencers.

FDA clears BioFire FilmArray GI Panel Mid

March 2025—BioMérieux announced that its BioFire FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel Mid has obtained FDA clearance. The molecular PCR test is capable of simultaneously detecting 11 pathogens directly from a stool sample from individuals presenting with signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal infection. It runs on the BioFire FilmArray 2.0 and Torch PCR platforms, requires about two minutes of hands-on time, and has an approximate run time of one hour. The panel will be commercially available in the United States at the

Roche unveils sequencing by expansion technology

March 2025—Roche unveiled a proprietary sequencing by expansion (SBX) technology that offers ultra-rapid, high-throughput sequencing that is flexible and scalable for a broad range of applications, including whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing.
