Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

March 2024—Innovative Lab Solutions announced the appointment of Bridget Ketron as its vice president of solutions. With a focus on enhancing efficiency, boosting cash collections, and ensuring compliance, Ketron will play a key role in driving the company’s growth and strategic partnerships.
March 2024—Avails Medical announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Equant system, an automated lab inoculation preparation system that consists of a single module instrument that holds a cuvette with an electrical sensor. It is intended for use with positive blood cultures samples for direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing without the traditional overnight subculture. The system works by preparing samples for direct susceptibility testing by manual agar disk diffusion.
March 2024—Randox has released its female bladder cancer array, designed to help clinicians stratify patients presenting with hematuria. The array detects interleukin-12p70, interleukin-13, midkine, and clusterin from a single urine sample to determine an individual’s biomarker risk score. A person’s risk for developing bladder cancer is determined by combining the biomarker risk score with clinical risk scores generated using the company’s algorithms.
March 2024—Bruker Corp. has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire EliTechGroup for €870 million (about $940 million) in cash, excluding EliTech’s clinical chemistry business. Bruker expects to close the transaction in the second quarter of this year.
March 2024—Roche has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire select parts of the LumiraDx group related to LumiraDx’s point-of-care technology. The transaction is expected to close by the middle of this year, after which the acquired entities will be fully integrated into Roche Diagnostics.
March 2024—Immunexpress announced FDA clearance of EDTA blood compatible cartridges for use with the SeptiCyte Rapid test. SeptiCyte Rapid is a sample-to-answer, cartridge-based, host response molecular test for sepsis using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to quantify the relative expression levels of host response genes isolated from whole blood. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use and runs on the Biocartis Idylla platform.
March 2024—Binx Health announced it has entered into a national distribution agreement with Cardinal Health to expand access to care with its CLIA-waived, FDA-cleared Binx IO. The molecular point-of-care platform is used to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea in male and female patient samples and provides results in about 30 minutes.
March 2024—Cepheid announced it has received FDA clearance with a CLIA waiver for the Xpert Xpress MVP, a multiplex vaginal panel that can now be performed in near-patient settings. The test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis from a single specimen. It runs on Cepheid’s GeneXpert Xpress instruments and provides results within an hour.
March 2024—OGT announced the opening of state-of-the-art facilities in Oxford Technology Park in the U.K. The facilities will drive development of OGT’s SureSeq next-generation sequencing product portfolio, as well as deliver expert-led training and opportunities for collaboration.
