August 2024—Qiagen has launched its QIAseq Multimodal DNA/RNA Lib Kit. The kit enables the preparation of DNA and RNA libraries for next-generation sequencing as well as downstream target enrichment based on hybrid capture from a single sample. It offers a streamlined and rapid workflow to generate whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing libraries from a single sample by combining chemistry optimized for DNA and RNA simultaneously.
August 2024—MedTech Breakthrough announced that Epredia has been selected as the winner of best new technology solution—pathology for its SlideMate Laser printer in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program. The SlideMate Laser is designed for clinical laboratories and provides high-resolution, 600-dpi laser printing on microscope slides, enabling laboratories to include more identifying information directly on the tab of the slides. The technology can embed up to 50 characters in a barcode on each slide and offers on-demand and batch printing options. The laser printer’s software can be directly interfaced to a laboratory information system.
August 2024—BioMérieux announced that its Vitek Reveal AST system has received FDA 510(k) clearance. The modular system can deliver actionable results for Gram-negative bacteria directly from positive blood cultures in an average of 5.5 to 6 hours, enabling same-day treatment decision-making for patients suffering from bacteremic sepsis. The system is also CE marked under the in vitro diagnostic medical devices directive and in vitro diagnostic medical devices regulation in Europe.
August 2024—Diasorin announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the company’s Liaison Plex Yeast Blood Culture assay, the second molecular multiplexing panel on the Liaison Plex. The assay, which is driven by Gram stain, detects 16 pathogens commonly associated with fungemia. The Liaison Plex sample-to-answer system uses room-temperature consumables, has a hands-on time of two minutes, and produces results in less than two hours.
August 2024—TechLab, a part of SSI Diagnostica Group, announced that its C. Diff Quik Chek Complete test has received certification under European in vitro diagnostic medical device regulation. The test is a rapid membrane enzyme immunoassay designed for the simultaneous detection of Clostridioides difficile glutamate dehydrogenase antigen and toxins A and B in a single reaction well and provides GDH and toxin results within about 30 minutes.
August 2024—Clarapath, a medical robotics company headquartered in Hawthorne, NY, announced it has entered into a strategic collaboration with Mayo Clinic to advance laboratory automation. Clarapath’s SectionStar is an all-in-one tissue sectioning and transfer system that is designed to increase capacity, reliability, and consistency while minimizing the need for highly skilled labor. The collaboration combines Clarapath’s tissue solution and domain experts with the clinical insights and expertise of the Mayo Clinic to enable laboratories to digitally transform the quality, safety, cost, and throughput of their histology process.
August 2024—Quest Diagnostics launched a blood biomarker test for phosphorylated tau 217, a biomarker associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It is the latest addition to Quest’s AD-Detect portfolio of tests, which also includes tests for p-tau181, amyloid beta proteins, and apolipoprotein E isoforms.
August 2024—Verichem Laboratories is now offering a multilevel, multianalyte, and ready-to-use Enzyme ER Calibration Verifier kit designed for the calibration verification of enzyme assays on wet chemistry testing systems. The enzyme components within the materials include amylase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, cholinesterase, creatine phosphokinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and lipase and are intended to be treated as patient specimens. The materials have a shelf life and open-vial stability of 18 months.
August 2024—Bruker Corp. announced the launch of mass spectrometry systems at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry 72nd annual conference on mass spectrometry and allied topics, June 2–6, in Anaheim, Calif.
August 2024—Roche has launched the Ventana Kappa and Lambda Dual ISH mRNA Probe Cocktail assay in countries accepting the CE mark. The assay is intended for the qualitative detection of kappa and lambda mRNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human bone marrow and lymphoid tissue stained on a BenchMark IHC/ISH instrument using chromogenic in situ hybridization and visualized using light microscopy. The test is intended as an aid in the identification of B-cell lymphomas and plasma cell neoplasms. The results of the assay should be interpreted by a qualified pathologist in conjunction with histological examination, relevant clinical information, and proper controls. The product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
