This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

January 2021—Randox Laboratories has unveiled its Qnostics Multiplex Respiratory Pathogen Controls for respiratory diseases, including for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus. The RTX controls are used to monitor the full testing process, from extraction to amplification and detection, and are compatible with a majority of commercial and in-house assays.
January 2020—Siemens Healthineers’ SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Test has proven to measure neutralizing antibodies, the company announced. The test reports quantitative results measuring the amount of neutralizing antibodies present in a patient’s blood sample.
January 2021—BD received FDA 510(k) clearance for the BD FacsLyric flow cytometer integrated with the BD FacsDuet sample preparation system. Physical integration between the two instruments allows technicians to load samples and reagents onto the BD FacsDuet and obtain results once the samples are acquired and analyzed on the BD FacsLyric. Data integration using the BD FacsLink middleware solution offers bidirectional communication between the instruments and connectivity with laboratory information systems.
January 2021—Streck has launched its Zulu RT, a rapid, modular qPCR instrument. The instrument consists of four independent thermal modules. A user can operate any combination of modules—one module for a small sample set, leaving other modules for other users, or up to four modules simultaneously for a large sample set. It can perform a 40-cycle, six-channel real-time PCR in less than 20 minutes.
January 2021—The FDA authorized the first diagnostic test for at-home collection of patient samples to detect COVID-19 and influenza A and B. Quest Diagnostics’ RC COVID-19 +Flu RT-PCR Test for prescription use was authorized with Quest’s Self-Collection Kit for COVID-19 +Flu for individuals who are suspected of respiratory viral infection consistent with COVID-19 when home collection is determined to be appropriate by an individual’s health care provider.
January 2021—GenMark Diagnostics received FDA emergency use authorization for its ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel 2. The test provides results in less than two hours for more than 20 viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory infections, including COVID-19, flu, bronchitis, and the common cold.
January 2021—Fluidigm received emergency use authorization from the FDA for the Advanta Dx SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay, an extraction-free, saliva-based test to detect nucleic acid from the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus. The test runs on the Fluidigm Biomark HD microfluidics platform, which can generate as many as 6,000 test results in one day.
January 2021—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the first serology antibody point-of-care test for COVID-19. The Assure COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device (Azure Biotech) was first authorized in July for emergency use by certain labs to help identify individuals with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The EUA has been reissued to authorize the test for POC use using fingerstick blood samples. The lateral flow assay is authorized for use with venous whole blood, serum, plasma, and fingerstick whole blood.
January 2021—DiaSorin Molecular has attained CE marking for the addition of saliva specimens for use with the Simplexa COVID-19 Direct assay.
January 2021—Roche launched the Cobas PIK3CA Mutation Test CE-IVD for patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer in countries accepting the CE mark. The test was previously available for research use only.
