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.

July 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories introduced three StarBright dyes designed for use with a 355 nanometer UV laser in flow cytometry applications. StarBright UltraViolet 510, 665, and 795 dyes offer exceptional brightness, the company says, with narrow excitation and emission profiles for precise resolution.
July 2022—Illumina announced that a companion diagnostic indication has been added to its CE-marked in vitro diagnostic TruSight Oncology Comprehensive (EU) test. The CDx pan-cancer indication will allow identification of cancer patients with solid tumors who are positive for neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusions including NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 and who may benefit from targeted therapy with Bayer’s Vitrakvi (larotrectinib), a genomically matched treatment.
June 2022—Accelerate Diagnostics announced the release of new performance data on the Accelerate Arc module and blood culture kit.
June 2022—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of a multilevel set of liquid-stable, ready-to-use clinical reference materials for the calibration and calibration verification of ammonia assays. The materials are universally compatible and can be used with a range of clinical testing systems, including from Abbott Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter, Roche Diagnostics, and Siemens Healthineers.
May 2022—Proscia and Hamamatsu Photonics are collaborating to accelerate the adoption of digital pathology. The agreement aims to increase the availability of the companies’ best-of-breed solution, which combines Proscia’s Concentriq platform and Hamamatsu’s NanoZoomer series of whole slide scanners, to laboratories. Users of Hamamatsu’s scanners can integrate their images and all other data into an open ecosystem centered around Concentriq. Under the agreement, customers will receive support with implementation.
May 2022—Source Medical Products announced it is carrying CelLock, a kit that standardizes the preparation of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell blocks. Included in the kit is a proprietary product called CelLGel, which is used in concert with a proprietary filter to collect and process 99.7 percent of the initial patient specimen into the cell block. The filter is included in the cell block to provide a visual cue, the company says, to make the tasks of embedding and microtomy easier and more exacting. The cellular proteomic and genetic information within the specimen is preserved for immunohistochemical, molecular, and ancillary testing.
June 2022—ZeptoMetrix announced the release of its NATtrol SARS-CoV-2 Omicron External Run Control, for research use only, to evaluate the performance of nucleic acid tests for determining the presence of SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant RNA. The control is formulated with purified, intact organisms and is for use with a real-time PCR thermal cycler. The product is available in six 0.5-mL vials and is refrigerator stable at 2° to 8°C.
June 2022—Siemens Healthineers announced the FDA has granted breakthrough device designation for the Advia Centaur serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) assay, developed in collaboration with Novartis Pharma. The assay quantitatively measures NfL in human serum and plasma and is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings as an aid in identifying adult patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis who are at lower risk, versus higher risk, of multiple sclerosis disease activity.
June 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories introduced a range of antibodies specific to cemiplimab (Libtayo) that inhibit the binding of the drug to its target, human programmed death receptor-1. The ready-made antibodies are suitable for developing selective and sensitive assays for the bioanalysis and drug monitoring of cemiplimab.
June 2022—Tribun Health announced its expansion into the pharmaceutical market with the appointment of Loic Dartois as vice president of pharma. Dartois joined Tribun Health in March and is developing commercial offerings for the pharma industry. “Digital pathology data combined with best-in-class AI models has the power to improve treatments’ responses to a better targeted population,” Dartois said in a press release. “Thanks to its growing footprint in health care institutions in Europe and North America, Tribun Health is best positioned to support the pharmaceutical industry in its precision medicine transformation using an industry-leading digital pathology platform and deploying a thought leadership AI team.”
