April 2021—Agena Bioscience launched its MassArray SARS-CoV-2 Variant Panel (RUO) for the detection of key SARS-CoV-2 virus strains.
April 2021—Bio SB has developed a new panel of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to identify the COVID-19 virus, its receptors, and its cytokines by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies. The antibodies identify ACE2, CD147, and TMPRSS2 receptors and include markers for immune response factors and vascular cells, with the intention to assess the pathological damage caused by COVID-19, cytokine storm syndrome, and coagulopathy, using single and multiplex IHC and immunofluorescence on FFPE tissues.
April 2021—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the Quidel QuickVue At-Home COVID-19 test.
April 2021—Bio-Rad Laboratories has enhanced its InteliQ liquid quality controls product line. InteliQ products have improved open-vial stability, and they are now available on Abbott Alinity and Roche Cobas systems.
April 2021—Qiagen launched its QIAsphere cloud-based platform, which will allow labs and QIAstat-Dx users to monitor tests and instrument status remotely 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
April 2021—Bio-Rad Laboratories announced that its Reliance SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB RT-PCR and Reliance SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay kits were granted emergency use authorization by the FDA.
April 2021—Diazyme received FDA emergency use authorization for its Semi-Quantitative DZ-Lite SARS-CoV-2 IgG CLIA test, which runs on the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus chemiluminescence analyzer. The FDA granted Diazyme an EUA for its qualitative DZ-Lite SARS-CoV-2 IgG CLIA test in July and has now authorized the Diazyme IgG assay to be used as a semiquantitative test.
April 2021—nRichDX launched its Revolution Semi-Automated Workflow powered by Eppendorf’s epMotion 5073 instrument for the extraction of cfDNA and ctDNA from plasma and urine for liquid-based assay development. The semiautomated workflow automates the Revolution protocol’s wash and elution steps and is designed to increase yield, sensitivity, and throughput.
April 2021—Sarstedt introduced its dedicated transportation system for sending specimen tubes to the laboratory, the Tempus600. Sample tubes are placed directly into a sending station and arrive within seconds at a laboratory receiving station for processing. An optional connection module enables tubes to be loaded directly into laboratory automation systems, such as the Sarstedt BL 1200 bulk loader and sorter. The Tempus600 system and pipelines require little space, and installation takes two weeks.
