This session explores the evolving role of RAS in precision oncology, from the biology of RAS mutations to the expanding landscape of targeted therapies. Through expert presentations, real-world case discussions, and interactive audience polling, participants will examine best practices for RAS biomarker testing across solid tumors, including lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. The session will highlight practical considerations for tissue and liquid biopsy, strategies to address testing gaps, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure timely identification of patients who may benefit from RAS-targeted therapies.

June 2014—The Minivette POC testing devices from Sarstedt are for the collection, transfer, and subsequent dispensing of small capillary blood samples for point-of-care tests. Blood is collected via capillary action into the collection capillary, the sample is held securely during transfer, and then it is dispensed onto the test field or into a micro tube with a slight push of the opposing integral piston.
June 2014—Avanti JXN-26 centrifuges from Beckman Coulter have an intuitive interface and advanced data management features, including the ability to track and manage centrifuge runs remotely using MobileFuge, a mobile application for Apple iOS or Android devices.
June 2014—ViroStat released a pan-reactive monoclonal antibody that is positive for all 27 enteroviruses tested to date.
June 2014—Randox’s Acusera HbA1c received FDA clearance. It is a 100 percent human whole blood, lyophilized control with assayed values provided for high-performance liquid chromatography and a wide range of clinical chemistry analyzers. When reconstituted the control remains stable for four weeks at 2°–8°C. The control is available in levels 1 and 2, and a calibrator is also available.
June 2014—Techne added an in situ hybridization adapter to its Prime range of thermal cyclers. By inserting the adapter, a 96-well thermal cycler is converted to an in situ hybridization instrument that can accommodate up to four standard-size microscope slides with ±0.25˚C block uniformity.
December 2013—Rehrig Pacific’s SharpsTank reusable sharps container model TS has received FDA 510(k) clearance as a class II medical device. The SharpsTank model TS is a 4.9-gallon reusable container with an integrated hinged lid, restrictive mail chute, and flusher insert. The container is supplied to the customer fully assembled.
May 2014—Cancer test was used as part of a multidisciplinary approach to confirm prostate cancer diagnosis using a technique called transperineal mapping biopsy. The cancer lesions found using this method were not detected by five conventional biopsies.
May 2014—PerkinElmer launched the Lamina multilabel slide scanner at the USCAP 2014 Annual Meeting. The scanner is a high-throughput imaging system for research pathologists in a larger research facility to study protein expression and the relationships between disease markers in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
April 2014—BioMérieux’s molecular diagnostic test THxID-BRAF has been added to the offerings provided by Clarient, a GE Healthcare company.
May 2014—Cerilliant introduced 14 Snap-N-Spike solutions of phenethylamines, a class of drugs. These certified reference materials are suitable for numerous applications in GC/MS or LC-MS/MS testing, from urine drug monitoring and forensic testing to clinical toxicology analysis.
