Uroplakin II antibody IVD, 7/13:104

Biocare Medical’s uroplakin II mouse monoclonal antibody (IVD) is now available. Studies have shown UP II mRNA to be expressed in bladder cancer tissues and the peripheral blood of patients with primary and metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Pathologists have used uroplakin III [AU1] to establish urothelial origin of the bladder; however, use of UP III is limited owing to its poor sensitivity. UP II was found to have 79 percent (44/56) sensitivity for bladder urothelial carcinoma compared with 34 percent (19/56)

MRSA/SA test, 7/13:104

Cepheid has received FDA clearance to market its Xpert MRSA/SA blood culture test, which runs on its GeneXpert system, for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus in blood culture bottles showing gram-positive cocci in clusters in about one hour. Cepheid’s updated Xpert MRSA/SA BC test processes positive blood culture specimens to determine whether a patient’s blood is infected with MRSA or SA, which are frequent causes of sepsis in hospitalized patients. “Having the capability to differentiate MRSA, S.

CAP 15189 renewal for National Jewish Health, 7/13:104

The College of American Pathologists has renewed CAP 15189 Accreditation for National Jewish Health Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories. The accreditation, based on standard 15189 for laboratory technical competence and continual quality management, is administered by the International Organization for Standardization and seeks to improve patient safety and reduce risk, by outlining standards for quality and competence in medical laboratories. CAP 15189 is a voluntary, non-regulatory accreditation to the ISO 15189:2007 standard as published by ISO. The program complements CAP accreditation and

Remote microscopy telepathology tool, 7/13:104

MikroScan Technologies’ Live-Q telepathology tool works as an add-on to the company’s D2 desktop whole slide scanner, which enhances remote viewing and remote control of the device. Keith J. Kaplan, MD, surgical pathologist and producer of the Digital Pathology Blog, recently tested the Live-Q user experience in a café over a standard typical Wi-Fi connection. He wrote in his review, “In summary, this system works on every level. It’s fast, it’s responsive, it’s intuitive, it’s high quality, and it’s easy

Troponin I assay, 7/13:104

Beckman Coulter has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Access AccuTnI+3 troponin I assay for use on its Access 2 immunoassay system. In accordance with FDA requirements, the company conducted a large multicenter prospective clinical trial on the AccuTnI+3 troponin I assay that enrolled more than 1,900 subjects, and confirmed that the assay provides the clinical performance necessary for optimal patient management. The data from this trial show that Beckman Coulter’s Access AccuTnI+3 troponin I assay provides the precision, clinical

Rabbit monoclonal antibodies portfolio, 7/13:104
