In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY

Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

October 2025—MeMed has completed its multiyear development of MeMed BV Flex, a next-generation test designed to expand the reach of MeMed BV into decentralized, CLIA-waived settings. The test enables differentiation between bacterial and viral infections in 15 minutes using capillary blood from a finger prick.
October 2025—The Food and Drug Administration has granted breakthrough device designation for Quest Diagnostic’s Haystack MRD circulating tumor DNA test. The test is used for identifying minimal residual disease in patients with stage two colorectal cancer following curative-intent surgical treatment who may benefit from adjuvant therapy in accordance with therapeutic product labeling.
October 2025—The FDA has cleared Hardy Diagnostics’ NG-Test CTX-M Multi, an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of CTX-M enzymes (groups 1, 2, 8, 9, and 25) from pure colonies of Enterobacterales suspected of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production. These enzymes confer resistance to many beta-lactam antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat. The test delivers results in 15 minutes.
October 2025—The Food and Drug Administration has categorized Roche’s Ionify 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D total assay as moderate complexity under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. Roche reported that this is the first time a mass-spectrometry-based test has achieved this designation.
October 2025—Magnified Learning offers consulting services across the spectrum of health care operations, including supply chain management, revenue cycle optimization, operational excellence, and organizational change management. The company’s approach leverages next-generation Lean Six Sigma, clinical integration strategies, and advanced technology platforms to create a sustainable alignment between operational performance and financial outcomes. Magnified Learning also offers online certification programs that feature sophisticated online learning management systems with self-paced curricula, comprehensive content previews, and embedded assessment tools compatible across all major operating systems. Each certification includes continuous learning pathways and recertification opportunities.
October 2025—Eppendorf has launched the Eppendorf Research 3 Neo mechanical pipette. Users can choose between two volume settings and speeds. The pipette can be adjusted for different liquid types, tip geometries, and reverse pipetting and a volume lock feature prevents unintentional volume changes. The use of ColorTag marking rings provides color-coded identification.
September 2025—The FDA has approved Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Oncomine Dx Express test, an in vitro diagnostic assay, for use as a companion diagnostic for Dizal’s Zegfrovy (sunvozertinib) to identify patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. In addition, the test has been approved for tumor profiling in solid tumors and detects cancer mutations with evidence of clinical significance and potential clinical significance across 46 genes.
September 2025—Bruker’s MALDI Biotyper Sirius and Sirius One systems have been awarded the My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel. The MALDI Biotyper systems for microbial identification received an Environmental Impact Factor score of 26.8 (EU and U.K.) and 35.4 (United States).
September 2025—Proscia partnered with the Dark Intelligence Group to survey more than 360 senior professionals representing independent, hospital, and academic laboratories and published a report on the findings. The “2025 Laboratory Leadership Report: Insights on Digital Pathology, AI, and Precision Medicine” finds that 38 percent of laboratory leaders cite staffing shortages as their biggest challenge and 31 percent cite declining reimbursement as their top concern. The top-ranked opportunities for labs are automation to drive efficiency (30 percent), molecular and genetic testing (29 percent), and artificial intelligence (25 percent).
September 2025—Agilent Technologies is introducing three models to its Dako Omnis family of instruments—the Omnis 110, 165, and 165 Duo—designed to provide laboratories with the flexibility to tailor staining solutions according to volume, workflow, and diagnostic requirements. The Dako Omnis 110 is for low- to medium-volume labs and delivers up to 110 immunohistochemistry slides per day. The Dako Omnis 165 is engineered for medium-high volume labs and has a throughput of up to 165 IHC slides per day, and the 165 Duo has the capacity to run IHC and in situ hybridization slides. All models feature continuous, case-based processing and shared reagents. A newly integrated direct connection for deionized water and nonhazardous waste reduces handling time.
