StatLab TissueGuard processing gel

October 2022—StatLab has released Tissue­Guard, an agarose gel that stabilizes and protects small or fragile specimens during processing while allowing reagent penetration. Tissue­Guard can be used for cytology samples, including fine-needle aspirates, urine and nongynecological specimens, and other specimens using cell block preparation, and for histology applications, including needle biopsies, nerves, small arteries, aggregates, lymph nodes, and small tissue fragments. The gel does not stain and remains invisible when blocks are cut.

Bio-Rad extends range of StarBright dyes

October 2022—Bio-Rad extended its range of StarBright dyes with the StarBright Violet 760, StarBright UltraViolet 575, and StarBright UltraViolet 605 dyes, to provide greater flexibility in multicolor flow cytometry panels. The company says the dyes offer improved brightness with narrow excitation and emission profiles for precise resolution, are resistant to photobleaching, and do not lose signal in fixation. They are compatible with the Bio-Rad ZE5 cell analyzer and S3e cell sorter and most flow cytometers without the need for special buffers.

Mdxhealth buys Oncotype DX GPS business

October 2022—Mdxhealth has entered into a purchase agreement with Genomic Health, a subsidiary of Exact Sciences, to acquire Exact Sciences’ Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score test and most of the company’s team of urology sales and marketing professionals.

Hamilton, Bionano announce UHMW DNA extraction solution

September 2022—Hamilton and Bionano Genomics announced the development of the Long String Vantage for isolating ultra high molecular weight DNA for use in optical genome mapping. The Bionano Prep SP Blood and Cell Culture DNA Isolation Kit runs on the Long String Vantage and can obtain up to 12 UHMW DNA samples in less than four hours.

BD COVID-19, flu A/B, RSV test gets CE mark

September 2022—BD announced that the BD Max Respiratory Viral Panel, a molecular diagnostic combination test for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus, has been CE marked to the IVD directive 98/79/EC. The test uses a single nasal swab or a single nasopharyngeal swab sample to determine if a patient has COVID-19, flu, or RSV.

BD, Accelerate announce collaboration for antimicrobial ID Dx

September 2022—BD and Accelerate Diagnostics announced a worldwide commercial collaboration agreement in which BD will offer Accelerate’s rapid testing solution for antibiotic resistance and susceptibility. Under the agreement, BD will market and sell the Accelerate Pheno system and Accelerate Arc module and associated test kits through its worldwide sales network in territories where products have regulatory approval or registration.

Verichem clinical reference materials for microprotein, CO2 testing

September 2022—Liquid-stable and ready-to-use clinical reference materials for microprotein testing are available from Verichem Laboratories. The products are intended for the calibration and calibration verification of clinical systems testing for total protein and albumin in urine and cerebrospinal fluid samples and incorporate human protein components for optimum reactivity.

Bio-Rad launches RNA library prep kit

September 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its SEQuoia Express Stranded RNA Library Prep Kit. The three-tube kit uses a novel reverse transcriptase with ligation-free adapter addition chemistry to yield a reproducible, quantitative RNA sequencing library in three hours. The kit enables users to construct robust libraries that capture mRNA and long noncoding RNA (>200 bp) transcripts for differential gene expression analysis and novel transcript discovery.

Roche receives EUA for Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Duo

September 2022—Roche announced that the FDA issued emergency use authorization for the Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Duo for use on the fully automated Cobas 6800/8800 systems. The real-time RT-PCR assay is for the in vitro qualitative and quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The assay also performs quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in the collected specimen; however, only the qualitative result of the assay is intended for use as an aid in diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients suspected of COVID-19 by their health care provider.
