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.
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.
July 2025—StaffReady has released a mobile app for its StaffReady Scheduling. The app is available on Apple and Android devices and offers StaffReady’s Calendar feature for users to easily view a schedule, request PTO, or make detailed shift requests, such as giveaways, trades, or bids. In addition, the company offers a weekly educational newsletter on its new website. It provides content specific to ancillary markets such as laboratories, pharmacies, and physical therapy/rehab departments and focuses on trends that affect workforce management in health care.
July 2025—The Food and Drug Administration has approved the de novo application for Randox Laboratories’ first companion diagnostic, the Randox ConcizuTrace ELISA. The test, developed in collaboration with Novo Nordisk, is intended for the quantitative measurement of concizumab-mtci concentration in human 3.2 percent citrated plasma samples from patients with hemophilia A and B four weeks after the initiation of treatment. The measurement of the concentration is used for dose adjustment decision in accordance with the drug label.
July 2025—Bio-Rad Laboratories will present an array of clinical diagnostic-related offerings at this year’s Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago, July 27–31. An industry workshop titled “From Waste to Wow: Optimizing Your Quality Control Workflow” is designed to provide attendees with strategies to streamline QC management across multihospital systems for systemwide efficiency, reduce waste streams in clinical chemistry, and recognize patient-based real-time QC to improve lab QC processes.
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.
