November 2020—Qiagen plans to launch a test that can detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens in people with active infections in less than 15 minutes and process, on average, 30 swab samples per hour using a small digital detection system. The test is expected to become available in the fourth quarter of this year.
November 2020—Hologic’s Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay, which initially received FDA emergency use authorization in May, is now authorized for testing people without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection.
October 2020—Agilent Technologies released the SureSelect XT HS2 RNA reagent kit. The kit enables users to accurately profile gene expression and detect RNA fusions using low-input FFPE samples and aims to significantly improve efficiency, especially in labs that process both DNA and RNA samples for next-generation–sequencing applications.
October 2020—ARUP Laboratories now offers COVID-19 testing using saliva specimens. The laboratory will perform the test only on saliva specimens collected using an ARUP collection kit with a health care provider present.
October 2020—Promega launched its benchtop capillary electrophoresis instrument, the Spectrum Compact CE system, developed in collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech. The integrated DNA analysis instrument enables life scientists in laboratories of all sizes to perform Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis at the bench.
October 2020—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization to Yale School of Public Health for its SalivaDirect COVID-19 diagnostic test, which uses a new method of processing saliva samples when testing for COVID-19 infection, the agency says.
October 2020—CytoSmart Technologies launched an automated live-cell imaging system designed for long-term experiments, comparison studies, and large laboratory teams. The CytoSmart Multi Lux consists of four mini digital microscopes supported by automated image analysis software. Multi Lux technology enables users to run up to four experiments simultaneously from inside the incubator. Automated image analysis and immediate visualization of the results are accessible remotely via the CytoSmart cloud.
October 2020—Novodiax released two rapid ihcDirect reagent test kits for in vitro diagnostic use, ihcDirect CK19 and ihcDirect CK20.
October 2020—Beckman Coulter launched its Access SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin M assay. The IgM antibody test demonstrated 99.9 percent specificity against 1,400 negative samples, the company reports, and 98.3 percent sensitivity at 15 to 30 days post-symptom onset. The test measures antibodies to the receptor binding domain of the spike protein, which the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to bind to a human cell receptor.
October 2020—Bio SB launched its Fast Mohs PolyDetector Plus Detection System, a highly sensitive nonbiotin monovalent Fab micropolymer IHC detection system for the detection of IVD antibodies for melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. It is intended for the detection of difficult nuclear targets such as androgen receptor, Ki-67, p40, p63, and SOX10.
