Hear an expert discuss how Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is utilizing
the oncoReveal® Nexus 21-gene panel to redefine turnaround time and actionable insights
in cancer care. Dr. Ewalt shares a perceptive look at the clinical need for rapid, front-line NGS sequencing, and how a unique, purpose built targeted NGS panel (Pillar Biosciences’ oncoReveal Nexus 21 gene Panel) was developed, validated and implemented clinically by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK-REACT) to complement their current comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) approach.

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.

July 2025—Techcyte announced the launch of its wet mount iodine solution for research use only in the United States. The AI-assisted screening tool is designed to help users locate, count, and preclassify parasites from iodine-stained fecal slides. The solution is part of Techcyte’s Fusion parasitology suite, which includes the company’s trichrome and modified acid fast solutions.
July 2025—BioMérieux has agreed to acquire Day Zero Diagnostics, an infectious disease diagnostics company, with the aim of enhancing BioMérieux’s capabilities in next-generation sequencing and rapid diagnostics. Day Zero Diagnostics, based in Watertown, Mass., has developed technologies that integrate direct from whole blood sample preparation, sequencing, and advanced infectious disease and antimicrobial susceptibility testing analytics. The sequencing-based rapid diagnostic in development can identify the species and antibiotic resistance profile of a bacterial pathogen within hours.
July 2025—Diasorin has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Liaison Plex Gram-positive blood culture assay. The assay detects 17 targets (13 Gram-positive bacteria and four relevant resistance gene targets) in less than two hours and features Diasorin’s proprietary NanoGrid technology, which allows the detection of nucleic acids without the need for conventional amplification reactions.
July 2025—Ibex Medical Analytics reports that a study conducted at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center confirms that Ibex Breast, an AI-powered diagnostic support solution, significantly improves accuracy and efficiency in evaluating breast pathology cases (Tahir M, et al. Clin Breast Cancer. Published online March 26, 2025). The study analyzed 104 real-world breast biopsies, including invasive and microinvasive carcinomas, ductal carcinoma in situ, atypical lobular hyperplasia, and other benign lesions. Three breast pathologists independently reviewed each case digitally, with and without the support of Ibex Breast. Results demonstrated that when using AI, diagnostic accuracy improved from 97.1 percent to 100 percent, with previously missed precancerous lesions, such as lobular neoplasia and microcalcifications, correctly identified.
July 2025—Sysmex America has received FDA clearance for its CN-6000 automated blood coagulation analyzer. The clearance also covers reagent products for prothrombin time seconds and PT INR (Dade Innovin), activated partial thromboplastin time (Dade Actin FSL), fibrinogen (Dade thrombin reagent), antithrombin (Innovance antithrombin), and D-dimer (Innovance D-dimer). Sysmex has also received Health Canada license for the CN-6000 as well as its CN-3000 automated blood coagulation analyzer.
June 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced that its DxC 500i clinical analyzer received FDA 510(k) clearance. The integrated chemistry and immunoassay analyzer has a throughput of up to 800 clinical chemistry tests and 100 immunoassay tests per hour and features FlexMode operations, which prioritize immunoassay and chemistry testing according to each sample’s urgency.
June 2025—Qiagen announced the launch of its QIAprep& Plasmodium kit and two companion assays to support malaria research and surveillance efforts. The solution combines sample preparation and quantitative PCR into one workflow and detects all five Plasmodium species in human samples. The QIAprep& technology detects as little as one parasite per microliter, is compatible with liquid and dried blood samples, and is suitable for use on many qPCR platforms, including the company’s Rotor-Gene Q.
June 2025—QuidelOrtho Corp. announced the availability of the QuidelOrtho Results Manager system, an informatics solution designed to provide a seamless, user-friendly experience for community hospitals and point-of-care settings, strengthening informatics capabilities across QuidelOrtho’s diagnostics portfolio. The system provides continuous tracking of instruments and assays, streamlines workflows with autoverification and simplified rule-writing tools, and integrates with multiple instruments and unlimited concurrent users.
June 2025—Ibex Medical Analytics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for Ibex Prostate Detect, an in vitro diagnostic, software only medical device that analyzes scanned histopathology whole slide images from prostate core needle biopsies prepared from H&E-stained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. If tissue suspicious for prostate cancer is identified, the system provides case- and slide-level alerts and includes an AI-generated heat map that identifies small and rare missed prostatic cancers.
June 2025—Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced new lines of floor-model centrifuges that feature natural refrigerant cooling systems compliant with European Union and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fluorinated gas regulations. The Thermo Scientific Cryofuge, Bios, and Lynx centrifuges feature the company’s GreenCool technology, a next-generation natural refrigerant cooling system with a global warming potential of 1. Each model provides a reduction in energy consumption of up to 15 percent when compared with previous models.
