BioMérieux acquires immunoassay start-up SpinChip

February 2025—BioMérieux has entered into an agreement to acquire SpinChip Diagnostics (Oslo, Norway), a privately held company that has developed an immunoassay diagnostics platform that can deliver results from a whole blood sample within 10 minutes. SpinChip is initially developing lab-quality tests to address indications common in acute care settings, such as myocardial infarction, and will first focus on high-sensitive troponin I, NT-proBNP, and D-dimer.

Beckman Coulter RUO assays for neurodegenerative diseases

February 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced the availability of research use only blood-based biomarker immunoassays intended to assess phosphorylated tau217, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neurofilament light chain, and apolipoprotein ε4 biomarkers. These neurogenerative RUO assays are available for use on the DxI 9000 immunoassay analyzer. The GFAP, NfL, and APOE ε4 assays are also available for use on the Access 2 immunoassay analyzer.

Adaptive, NeoGenomics sign multiyear collaboration

February 2025—Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. and NeoGenomics announced a multiyear exclusive strategic commercial collaboration that aims to advance minimal residual disease monitoring options for patients with select blood cancers.

Genomadix gets Health Canada license for Cube CYP2C19 system

Februrary 2025—Genomadix announced it has received a medical device license from Health Canada permitting marketing of its Genomadix Cube CYP2C19 system, an automated sample-to-result PCR test. The test can be used to aid clinicians in determining a therapeutic strategy for drugs metabolized by the CYP450 2C19 genetic pathway. The Genomadix Cube CYP2C19 system identifies the CYP2C19 *2, *3, and *17 alleles directly from buccal swabs in about an hour.

Verichem reference materials for acetaminophen, salicylate

February 2025—Verichem Laboratories has announced the availability of multilevel clinical reference materials intended for the calibration and calibration verification of acetaminophen and salicylate assays on a wide array of diagnostic testing systems. The materials come in a ready-to-use, liquid-stable format that incorporates the serum-like reactivity of a protein-based matrix with the gravimetric accuracy of an absolute standard. The kit contains 5.0 mL of material at six concentration levels and has a shelf life of 18 months when stored at 2° to 8°C. The product also contains ethanol and lactate to determine the calibration verification of these assays.

FDA grants breakthrough designation to Beckman Coulter Alzheimer’s test

February 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced the FDA has granted breakthrough device designation to the Access p‑Tau217/β-Amyloid 1-42 plasma ratio. The blood test measures the ratio of phosphorylated tau protein (pTau217) to beta‑amyloid 1-42, two key biomarkers implicated in the neurodegenerative processes of Alzheimer’s disease. A blood-based IVD test that can quantify these biomarkers in plasma could provide a noninvasive, accessible, and earlier method of detecting Alzheimer’s-related pathology, potentially before clinical symptoms manifest, the company said in a statement.

Illumina updates NovaSeq X series

February 2025—Illumina announced a series of updates to its NovaSeq X series, including the NovaSeq X single-flow-cell system, a software upgrade, and new kits.

ARUP launches assay for influenza A (H5) virus

February 2025—ARUP Laboratories has launched an assay for the detection and subtyping of influenza A (H5) virus. The test will aid in the evaluation of people who may have been exposed to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A virus, also known as H5N1 or bird flu.

Pillar expands commercial partnership with Illumina

January 2025—Pillar Biosciences announced an expansion of its existing partnership with Illumina in which a broader portfolio of its OncoReveal NGS panels will be offered directly through Illumina. The additional research use only NGS panels include OncoReveal Core LBx, Essential LBx, and Fusion LBx for liquid biopsy tumor profiling and OncoReveal Multicancer RNA Fusion (18-driver gene RNA panel) and Solid Tumor v2 (48-gene DNA panel) for solid tumor profiling, for use on Illumina’s MiSeq and NextSeq 550 systems.
