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 2013—Sequenom has announced a certified service provider program for the technical certification of selected laboratories offering research services using the Sequenom research-use-only MassArray system. Certifications cover the major research applications of the MassArray system, including iPlex genotyping, OncoCarta somatic mutation profiling, ADME PGx, and EpiTyper DNA methylation analysis.
December 2013—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has released the latest version of a document addressing the design of measurement procedure comparisons using patient samples and subsequent data-analysis techniques for determining the bias between two in vitro diagnostic measurement procedures.
December 2013—Mettler Toledo has released a series of free 30- to 45-minute video tutorials that provide insights into the topics of pipetting, weighing, pH determination, and thermal analysis.
December 2013—Hamilton Robotics has launched a next-generation, liquid-handling platform that offers contact-free pipetting over a wide volume range. The Hamilton Vantage is space efficient, affordable, and can be remotely monitored by mobile devices. Its expandable design makes it a powerful instrument for labs performing simple or complex applications.
December 2013—The Centre of Excellence for the Prevention of Organ Failure (PROOF Centre) and HTG Molecular Diagnostics are collaborating to begin clinical validation of a biomarker blood test that will provide early indication of organ rejection in heart transplant patients and thereby allow doctors to better monitor and treat patients post-transplant. It is the first clinical validation study of this kind in Canada.
December 2013—New Purair 5 ductless fume hoods from Air Science USA feature a high level of operator protection where routine work is being carried out. The units exceed OSHA, ANSI, and all relevant international standards, operate at low noise levels, and recirculate rather than exhaust expensive conditioned or heated air into the atmosphere.
December 2013—Definiens AG, a health care company that advances personalized medicine through image-analysis and digital pathology solutions, and Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD), a provider of products and services for molecular pathology, announced the commercial launch of RNAscope SpotStudio, a custom-designed image-analysis software application for ACD’s RNAscope assays to detect and quantify RNA biomarkers.
December 2013—Randox’s two new controls, Acusera Liquid Assayed Chemistry Premium and Premium Plus, are designed to drastically cut the number of individual quality controls a laboratory needs to run in routine medical testing while providing clinically significant values for a wide range of analyzers at key decision points.
December 2013—Torrey Pines Scientific’s new EchoTherm stackable, programmable chilling incubators have a 27-L capacity and are Peltier based for heating and chilling. The incubators have no compressors or CFCs and are vibration free, making them ideal for protein crystallizations. Additional applications include incubating marine samples below room temperature, enzyme reactions and deactivations, hybridizations, ligations, and storing oocytes.
December 2013—Skuldtech, a genomic biomarker company, has secured EUR 1 million in funding from Bpifrance (French public financing structure) as part of a project on Alzheimer disease that has received funding of EUR 8.6 million in total. The program is scheduled to last four years, with the first results expected in 2018.
