FDA clears immunoassays to assess risk of preeclampsia
June 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has cleared the Thermo Scientific Brahms PlGF Plus Kryptor and Brahms sFlt-1 Kryptor novel biomarkers, both of which received breakthrough designation from the FDA.
Early Lyme disease detection
June 2023—Zeus Scientific has introduced the Zeus Borrelia Modified Two-Tiered Testing (MTTT) algorithm, an FDA-cleared all-ELISA algorithm designed to improve the detection of early Lyme disease by up to 30 percent compared with the standard two-tiered testing algorithm. It replaces a second-tier immunoblot with a second Zeus ELISA methodology to provide additional supportive evidence of infection. The company offers two algorithms: Zeus Borrelia MTTT-1 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG/IgM test system; Zeus Borrelia MTTT-2 uses the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM test system as a first-tier test followed by the Zeus B. burgdorferi IgG test system and Zeus B. burgdorferi IgM test system.
Siemens launches Atellica Hema analyzers
June 2023—Siemens Healthineers launched two solutions for high-volume hematology testing, the Atellica Hema 570 analyzer and Atellica Hema 580 analyzer. Both have a throughput rate of up to 120 tests per hour. The Atellica Hema 570 measures 43 cell parameters and an additional 12 parameters are available on the Hema 580, including immature red blood cell indicators relevant to certain patient populations and an optical-based platelet count that reduces analytical interferences found in other detection technologies. Their user-friendly designs aim to reduce daily maintenance while supporting rapid reagent changes.
