This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

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

December 2014—Illumina announced new reagent kits for the HiSeq X Ten and HiSeq 2500 sequencing systems. For HiSeq X Ten Systems, the HiSeq X HD v2 Reagent Kit adds flexibility to population-scale human whole-genome sequencing by supporting an expanded menu of library preparation options.
December 2014—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics received FDA 510(k) clearance for its UniCel DxH v3.0 software, which supports automated connectivity of the UniCel DxH 800 and DxH Slidemaker Stainer Coulter Cellular Analysis Systems.
December 2014—Affymetrix and Ariosa Diagnostics announced the signing of a multiyear supply agreement covering Affymetrix arrays and instruments to be used as part of Ariosa’s Harmony Non-Invasive Prenatal Test. The partnership enables Ariosa to pursue the development of a Harmony test kit that will allow laboratories worldwide to adopt and perform this test.
December 2014—MyCartis announced the launch of Evalution, a digital multiplex analysis platform tailored to clinical research and pharmaceutical markets and designed to analyze a broad range of protein and nucleic-acid-based biomarkers. Evalution provides an integrated reaction and detection environment and simultaneous analysis of large numbers of analytes per assay.
December 2014—The Thermo Scientific XBF40 series of -40°C blast freezers are for rapid cooling during the sample preparation process, prior to freezer storage. Available in two options, the XBF40D-MD is designed for rapid plasma freezing and accommodates plasma bags, boxes, and bottles, and the XBF40D is for general-purpose applications and accommodates staggered loads and a variety of vessels, such as carboys, bottles, racks with vials, and more.
December 2014—EKF Diagnostics announced it has entered a two-year research collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital to develop PointMan assays that can detect treatable cancer mutations in blood samples. MGH will use PointMan DNA for the detection of genetic variation in circulating tumor cells isolated from a patient’s blood using MGH’s CTC-Chip instrument.
December 2014—Streck’s A1c-Cellular Linearity, an HbA1c linearity/calibration verification material with intact red blood cells, is now assayed for the Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210 and Ultra2 instruments. A1c-Cellular Linearity is a five-level assayed linearity material used to assess instrument accuracy and verify the patient reportable range of the HbA1c parameter.
December 2014—Horizon Discovery Group announced it has agreed to acquire Sage Labs for up to $16 million in cash and up to $32 million through the issue of new ordinary shares. The acquisition of Sage, a provider of next-generation research models, builds on the acquisition of CombinatoRx in July.
December 2014—To support users focused on hereditary disease, Qiagen has fully integrated Biobase HGMD Professional with Ingenuity Variant Analysis so that researchers no longer require a separate human gene mutation database license. The Ingenuity Variant Analysis is a Web-based software application that filters genetic variants in a secure, private, cloud-based environment to identify variants most likely to cause disease.
December 2014—Laboratories performing food and environmental testing, clinical research, forensic toxicology, pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical measurements, and other applied analyses can now benefit from the performance of high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) Orbitrap mass spectrometry using an instrument designed for cost-per-sample-sensitive workflows.
