Olympus, Ultivue comarketing agreement

February 2020—Olympus and Ultivue, a developer of tissue biomarker identification and quantification assays for translational research, have entered into a comarketing agreement. The partnership will provide a solution for fluorescent multiplexing by combining the Olympus Slideview VS200 automated slide scanner with Ultivue’s proprietary InSituPlex DNA barcoding and staining technology to provide quantitative colocalization analysis in fluorescent whole slide images.

SeraCare launches TMB reference materials

February 2020—SeraCare Life Sciences launched genomic DNA and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded reference materials for tumor mutational burden measurement by next-generation sequencing assays. SeraCare collaborated with Friends of Cancer Research and International Quality Network for Pathology in the development and evaluation of a range of gDNA and FFPE-based TMB reference materials across different targeted NGS panels, sequencing platforms, and bioinformatics analysis pipelines.

FDA approves first vaccine for Ebola virus

February 2020—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the approval of Ervebo (Merck), the first FDA-approved vaccine for the prevention of Ebola virus disease, caused by Zaire ebolavirus, in people 18 years of age and older. Ervebo is administered as a single-dose injection and is a live, attenuated vaccine that has been genetically engineered to contain a protein from the Zaire ebolavirus.

Applied BioCode panel gets FDA clearance

February 2020—Applied BioCode has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its BioCode Respiratory Pathogen Panel for use on the company’s BioCode MDx-3000 system. The panel tests nasopharyngeal swabs for common viruses and bacteria, including influenza A and subtypes H1, H1N1 2009pdm, and H3; influenza B; respiratory syncytial virus A/B; parainfluenza virus types 1–4; human metapneumovirus A/B; adenovirus; rhinovirus/enterovirus; coronavirus (229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1); Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Chlamydia pneumoniae; and Bordetella pertussis.

FDA clears Simplexa VZV Swab Direct

February 2020—DiaSorin Molecular has received FDA clearance for its Simplexa VZV Swab Direct assay. The CLIA moderate-complexity assay is designed for use on the Liaison MDX instrument to detect varicella-zoster virus DNA from cutaneous and mucocutaneous swab specimens. The assay complements the company’s Simplexa VZV Direct kit, which is for use with cerebrospinal fluid samples.

Sample storage, shipping system

February 2020—DriBank Labs announced the availability of its DriBank system for preserving, storing, and shipping laboratory samples. The system preserves small (≤ 3 g or 50 µL) laboratory biological samples at room temperature (20˚C) for up to six months using desiccants contained inside a replaceable and rechargeable cartridge, eliminating the need for chemical fixatives or refrigerants. It accepts samples in a variety of media including microscope slides, microcentrifuge tubes, cell culture dishes, swabs, and others.

February 2020—Genomenon announced a partnership with Sophia Genetics that includes incorporating Genomenon’s Mastermind genomic search engine into the Sophia platform and the Alamut suite.

Baebies Finder gets CE mark

February 2020—Baebies announced that its Finder platform is CE marked as an in vitro diagnostic device and commercially available in Europe and other countries that recognize the CE mark. The platform includes an instrument and a cartridge, which tests for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from 50 μL of whole blood. Features of the platform include an eight-inch-wide footprint, preloaded consumables with all necessary reagents, and a turnaround time of approximately 15 minutes from sample introduction.

NeuMoDx, Sentinel partnership

February 2020—NeuMoDx Molecular and Sentinel Diagnostics announced a partnership to develop diagnostic assays for the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 molecular systems. Sentinel’s real-time PCR assays will be adapted to the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 molecular systems and will incorporate Sentinel’s STAT-NAT technology, which provides the ability to stabilize the activity of a PCR mix, allowing room-temperature storage and transport. The test menu pipeline for the systems will include assays to detect and monitor post-transplant infections, parasitic and hospital-acquired infections, and respiratory infections, and for pharmacogenetics applications.
