Bio-Rad launches Annexin V StarBright conjugates

October 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched annexin V conjugated to eight StarBright dyes—SBUV400, SBUV795, SBV440, SBV515, SBV790, SBB675, SBB765, and SBY800. The Annexin V StarBright conjugates support detection of early apoptotic cells by flow cytometry, offering an increased range of fluorophore options, and enable full use of all common laser lines found in flow cytometers such that common viability dye and fluorescent protein emission wavelengths can be avoided. This, combined with the narrow excitation and emission of StarBright dyes, reduces spillover and spreading to provide high-resolution data.

Qiagen, Myriad to develop HRD test

September 2024—Qiagen and Myriad Genetics announced they will develop a globally distributable kit-based test for analyzing homologous recombination deficiency status. This next-generation sequencing test aims to support research into personalized medicine in multiple solid tumor types, including ovarian cancer, and is expected to enhance decentralized testing capacities once a regulated product is developed with pharmaceutical partners. The project builds on the master collaboration agreement that the companies announced in October 2023.

Bio-Rad launches Specialty Immunoassay Plus controls

September 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its Specialty Immunoassay Plus, a four-level, comprehensive, independent specialty immunoassay quality control designed to monitor the precision of laboratory specialty immunoassay testing procedures. The product is available in barcoded, load-and-go InteliQ and standard vial Liquichek configurations and features clinically relevant ana­lytes such as procalcitonin, interleukin-6, active vitamin B12, anti-TSH receptor, thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins, fructosamine, and others. It also contains optimized vitamin D ranges to support Vitamin D Standardization Program–compliant assays and improved intact parathyroid hormone open-vial stability to minimize QC waste. With the Unity data management software, laboratories can compare results across a large peer group of reporting labs.

Cobas Liat SARS-CoV-2, flu A/B, RSV test gets EUA

September 2024—Roche announced that the FDA has granted emergency use authorization for its Cobas Liat SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A/B, and RSV nucleic acid test for use on the Cobas Liat system. The automated multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test is intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus RNA in anterior nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Definitive results are generated in 20 minutes.

Siemens offers NT‑proBNPII assay on Atellica Solution

September 2024—Siemens Healthineers has added the NT‑proBNPII assay to its cardiac test menu on the Atellica Solution to help diagnose heart failure. The assay supports timely patient care with a first result available in 10 minutes. The company offers the NT-proBNPII and B-type natriuretic peptide tests on either the Atellica IM or Atellica CI analyzer.

Qiagen launches digital PCR assays for microbial applications

September 2024—Qiagen has launched 35 wet-lab tested digital PCR microbial DNA detection assays for its digital PCR platform QIAcuity. The assays are available on Qiagen’s research platform GeneGlobe and are designed to target a wide range of pathogens, including dengue virus serotypes one to four, mpox clades one and two, and chikungunya, as well as malaria and various sexually transmitted infections and urinary tract infections. The addition of these assays brings the company’s total microbial dPCR assay portfolio to more than 680 targets.

BD, Quest to develop companion diagnostics

September 2024—BD and Quest Diagnostics announced a worldwide collaboration agreement to develop, manufacture, and commercialize flow-cytometry–based companion diagnostics intended to help select the best treatment for patients with cancer and other diseases. The joint offerings will range from exploratory panel development to the manufacturing and distribution of FDA-approved diagnostic kits.

Sakura Finetek launches laser cassette printer

September 2024—Sakura Finetek Europe announced the launch of the Tissue-Tek xPrint LP laser cassette printer. Features of the laser printer include high-definition barcode printing at 2,500 dpi and a printing speed of up to 2.5 seconds per cassette. It is designed to print on Tissue-Tek Paraform cassettes of any color, without the need for calibration or additional setup. Print quality is robust and resistant to heat, alcohol, xylene, acid, and scratching, as well as other common laboratory conditions. The printer supports a wide range of content, including logos, barcodes, QR codes, data matrices, and text that can be displayed in the Windows system.

FDA approves Illumina cancer biomarker test plus two CDxs

September 2024—Illumina announced Food and Drug Administration approval of its in vitro diagnostic TruSight Oncology Comprehensive test and its first two companion diagnostic indications. This single test interrogates more than 500 genes to profile a patient’s solid tumor, helping to increase the likelihood of identifying an immuno-oncology biomarker or clinically actionable biomarkers that enable targeted therapy options or clinical trial enrollment.
