Bruker launches NMR-based long COVID test

August 2022—Bruker Corp. has launched PhenoRisk PACS RuO, a research use only nuclear magnetic resonance test for molecular phenomics research on blood samples of patients with post-acute COVID syndrome (PACS), or long COVID. The test uses a multiplexed combination of biomarkers and is for research on early-stage risk factors on longitudinal recovery monitoring and on potential secondary organ damage in cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, kidney dysfunction, and inflammation. It runs on the Avance IVDr NMR spectroscopy system, which produces results in 20 minutes.

CSF false-bottom tube

August 2022—Sarstedt announced the availability of a false-bottom tube for cerebrospinal fluid with an elevated conical base. The tube was developed and validated for Roche, specifically for use with Roche’s new generation of Elecsys immunoassays designed to detect Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers on Cobas e analyzers. The tubes are manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene and have HDPE screw caps that are leak resistant at 95 kilopascals.

CFX Duet Real-Time PCR system

August 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the CFX Duet Real-Time PCR system to support researchers in developing singleplex and duplex quantitative PCR assays. The CFX Duet system offers the robust thermal performance and proprietary, accurate optical shuttle system of the company’s CFX Opus system. It is a two-color system that is factory calibrated for common dyes and allows the quantification of up to two targets in genotyping and multiple gene expression analyses without the need for passive reference dyes. An additional fluorescence resonance energy transfer mode supports protein melt analysis for basic protein characterization.

CE-IVD-marked TaqPath respiratory viral panel

August 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select panel. The CE-IVD-marked molecular assay panel provides results in approximately three hours and tests for adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus/enterovirus, and parainfluenza virus using PCR technology. RNase P and positive controls are included to offer sample-to-result reliability. The solution is scalable, allowing laboratories to run from one to 94 samples simultaneously.

Reference materials for urine chemistry, bilirubin assays

August 2022—Verichem Laboratories now offers a range of liquid-stable and ready-to-use biosynthetic clinical reference materials for use with urine chemistry assays and designed for system calibration and calibration verification testing on a variety of clinical testing platforms, including from Abbott, Beckman Coulter, Roche, and Siemens Healthineers.

EKF to distribute FDA-cleared Lucica glycated albumin test

July 2022—EKF Diagnostics announced the availability of the FDA-cleared Lucica Glycated Albumin-L test kit, manufactured by Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp. and sold exclusively in the United States by EKF. Lucica Glycated Albumin-L is a specific, quantitative test for glycated albumin for the intermediate-term monitoring of glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

PerkinElmer launches BioQule NGS system

July 2022—PerkinElmer has launched its research use only BioQule NGS system, an automated benchtop solution for next-generation sequencing library preparation of up to eight samples. The system requires as little as 10 ng of starting material per run to create libraries. By incorporating automated thermocycling, integrated quality control through optical quantification, and robust liquid-handling technology in a single device, the company says the system enables researchers to produce high-quality NGS libraries that yield reliable, reproducible results.

Sarstedt launches web shop

July 2022—Sarstedt has launched a web shop for direct online ordering of its labware consumables, specimen collection devices, and small instruments. The shop is available to customers in the United States and can be accessed via the company website at www.sarstedt.com or directly at www.shop.sarstedt.us.

Seegene develops assay to detect monkeypox virus

July 2022—Seegene has developed a PCR test to detect monkeypox virus. The Novaplex MPXV assay, for research use only, was developed using the company’s AI-based automated test development system and can identify positive cases of the monkeypox virus in 90 minutes.
