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

August 2025—Integrated DNA Technologies has unveiled its PrimeTime influenza kit and PrimeTime research pathogen panels. The influenza kit is a qPCR solution designed to amplify common influenza strains and targets influenza A, influenza A (H5N1), influenza B, and RNase. It includes an internal control for sample quality assessment, a premixed primer and probe set, PrimeTime 4x Broad-Range Master Mix, and direct amplification enhancer.
August 2025—MRC Holland announced that its Salsa MLPA Probemix P101 STK11 assay for the detection of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome received the CE mark for in vitro diagnostic use under IVDR regulation EU 2017/746. The probe mix detects copy number variations in the STK11 gene and has been updated with two improved and two newly added denaturation control probes that facilitate the detection of denaturation issues with exceptional sensitivity, according to a company press statement.
August 2025—SSI Diagnostica Group is acquiring Gulf Coast Scientific (Oldsmar, Fla.), which specializes in the development of urea breath testing for Helicobacter pylori, to further strengthen its gastrointestinal disease testing portfolio. SSI Diagnostica, headquartered in Denmark, acquired CTK Biotech (Poway, Calif.) in 2020 and TechLab (Blacksburg, Va.) in 2022. Jointly the group will have a total revenue of approximately $125 million.
August 2025—Waters Corp. announced it has acquired Halo Labs. Halo Labs’ Aura platform, which features a highly differentiated technology that performs full spectrum particle analysis, is complementary to the Waters light-scattering detection solutions from its Wyatt Technology portfolio. The subvisible particle technology unlocks additional insights when characterizing external particles used to amplify CAR T cells for cell therapy. By acquiring Halo Labs, Waters said it will be able to integrate the emerging technology into new and existing large molecule development and QA/QC.
August 2025—Randox has launched the Evidence RABTA (random access biochip technology analyzer), capable of processing up to 60 samples per hour and delivering up to 2,640 test results per hour. The analyzer offers seamless random access capabilities, allows users to assign samples as priority, and uses single-use tips for aspiration and dispensing. The time to first result is 36 minutes, with up to 44 results per sample. Walkaway time is up to 2.5 hours.
August 2025—Qiagen announced a series of product and partnership updates, including a new set of QIAseq panels for comprehensive genomic profiling, a QIAcuity digital PCR kit and assays for cell and gene therapy quality control, and a free, limited version of the Human Somatic Mutation Database from the Qiagen Digital Insights bioinformatics business.
August 2025—Precision Epigenomics presented validation data for its flagship multicancer early detection (MCED) test, Episeek, at the 2025 ASCO annual meeting in Chicago, May 30–June 3. The data demonstrated that the blood-based test is capable of identifying more than 60 cancer types with a 99.5 percent specificity rate and a turnaround time of two to three days. The test was validated on 281 cancer-positive plasma samples across all four stages and 201 samples from healthy people over 40 years old. It showed a 45 percent sensitivity for stage I/II cancers and a 74 percent sensitivity for stage IV cancers, with positive and negative predictive values of 64.9 percent and 99.5 percent, respectively.
August 2025—CytoChip showcased its flagship product, CitoCBC, a cartridge-based CBC analyzer, at the Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine annual meeting, July 27–31, in Chicago. CitoCBC delivers rapid CBC results with a five-part white blood cell differential from a cartridge-based system and requires only monthly quality control.
August 2025—EntroGen announced that its CRCdx RAS mutation detection kit has received national coverage from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CRCdx is an FDA-approved, real-time PCR-based companion diagnostic for use in identifying patients eligible for treatment with Vectibix (panitumumab), based on the absence of KRAS and NRAS mutations.
August 2025—Revvity announced the launch of its IDS i20 analytical random access platform from Euroimmun, enabling full automation of chemiluminescence immunoassays. The CE-marked and FDA-listed IDS i20 allows users to simultaneously run 20 analytes from six diagnostic specialties on a single device. The specialties include endocrinology, allergy, autoimmune and infectious disease testing, testing for Alzheimer’s disease, and therapeutic drug monitoring. The instrument can process up to 140 tests per hour and features continuous loading of samples and reagents as well as integrated cooling of ready-to-use reagent cartridges. It is for in vitro diagnostic use.
