July 2015—Halozyme Therapeutics and Ventana Medical Systems announced a global agreement to collaborate on the development of a companion diagnostic assay for use with Halozyme’s investigational new drug, PEGPH20, which Ventana would ultimately commercialize.
July 2015—Bio SB announced a line of rabbit monoclonal antibodies, PD-L1/CD274, for immunohistochemistry with extensive protein immunogenicity analysis of targeted epitopes, high sensitivity specificity, and low background noise.
July 2015—Thermo Fisher introduced the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid Mass Spectrometer, the newest addition to its line of Orbitrap Tribrid mass spectrometers. Designed to expand researchers’ capabilities in advanced proteomics and metabolomics applications, including targeted, data-independent acquisition and top-down analyses, the Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid has a high level of sensitivity, delivering complete protein sequence coverage and allowing scientists to perform more inclusive analyses.
July 2015—Streck’s Calibration Verification Assessment (CVA) is now assayed for the Horiba ABX Micros 60 instrument. CVA is an assayed linearity control kit used to determine the patient reportable range of three-part and five-part hematology instruments.
July 2015—Corgenix Medical has received U.S. FDA emergency use authorization for its ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test. The test is to be used for the presumptive detection of Ebola Zaire virus in individuals with signs and symptoms of Ebola virus infection in conjunction with epidemiological risk factors, including geographic locations with high prevalence of Ebola infection.
July 2015—MDxHealth revealed data with the aim of demonstrating the prognostic value of its ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test. The data, offered in two presentations at the American Urology Association’s annual meeting in May, show the test’s ability to identify patients likely to harbor clinically significant prostate cancer from negative biopsy tissue.
July 2015—Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories has entered into a collaborative agreement with Axela to develop multiplex assays focused on immune status for vaccine preventable diseases.
July 2015—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced the publication of research results in Clinical Biochemistry (Storrow AB, et al. 2015;48:254–259; 260–267) that identify the precise magnitude of change in cardiac troponin required for early diagnosis of a heart attack using its Access AccuTnI+3 troponin I blood test. Beckman’s troponin-I assay has been clinically proven through a large, multicenter study and is FDA-cleared and directly aligned with the FDA’s October 2010 guidance to manufacturers of troponin tests.
July 2015—The journal Lung Cancer published a paper demonstrating the economic implications to the U.S. health care system of using VeriStrat in guiding treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The paper’s authors conclude that using Biodesix’s VeriStrat improves overall survival and decreases medical costs in the U.S. payer system.
July 2015—Qiagen launched two Investigator STR assay kits for analysis of DNA evidence in forensic laboratories in the United States—the Investigator 24plex QS Kit for amplification of the CODIS core and European Standard Set marker sets from casework samples and the Investigator 24plex GO! Kit for direct amplification of the CODIS core and ESS marker sets from reference samples.
