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.

February 2025—Sysmex America has signed an agreement with Sentinel Diagnostics that grants Canadian rights to distribute and service Sentinel Diagnostics SentiFIT 270 and 800 analyzers as part of a new fecal immunochemical test.
February 2025—Beckman Coulter Diagnostics announced the availability of research use only blood-based biomarker immunoassays intended to assess phosphorylated tau217, glial fibrillary acidic protein, neurofilament light chain, and apolipoprotein ε4 biomarkers. These neurogenerative RUO assays are available for use on the DxI 9000 immunoassay analyzer. The GFAP, NfL, and APOE ε4 assays are also available for use on the Access 2 immunoassay analyzer.
February 2025—Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. and NeoGenomics announced a multiyear exclusive strategic commercial collaboration that aims to advance minimal residual disease monitoring options for patients with select blood cancers.
Februrary 2025—Genomadix announced it has received a medical device license from Health Canada permitting marketing of its Genomadix Cube CYP2C19 system, an automated sample-to-result PCR test. The test can be used to aid clinicians in determining a therapeutic strategy for drugs metabolized by the CYP450 2C19 genetic pathway. The Genomadix Cube CYP2C19 system identifies the CYP2C19 *2, *3, and *17 alleles directly from buccal swabs in about an hour.
January 2025—Qiagen announced the launch of the QIAcuityDx digital PCR system, an IVD medical device that integrates partitioning, thermocycling, and imaging into a streamlined five-plex workflow. The nanoplate-based workflow disperses a sample into thousands of tiny partitions and then reads reactions simultaneously to quantify signals from DNA and RNA.
January 2025—Pillar Biosciences announced an expansion of its existing partnership with Illumina in which a broader portfolio of its OncoReveal NGS panels will be offered directly through Illumina. The additional research use only NGS panels include OncoReveal Core LBx, Essential LBx, and Fusion LBx for liquid biopsy tumor profiling and OncoReveal Multicancer RNA Fusion (18-driver gene RNA panel) and Solid Tumor v2 (48-gene DNA panel) for solid tumor profiling, for use on Illumina’s MiSeq and NextSeq 550 systems.
January 2025—StatLab Medical Products has launched a self-manufactured premium slide and cover glass brand. StatLab KT slides are developed, manufactured, and sold within the StatLab group and include a nonadhesive KT1, standard adhesive KT3+, and advanced adhesive KT5+. KT portfolio slides are validated for use on the company’s PiSmart slide printers and can be used in digital pathology. KT Koverglass, made from Schott D 263M glass, offers high refractive indices and uniform dimensions, resulting in true-to-life color representation and superior clarity, the company says.
January 2025—Mainz Biomed, a Germany-based molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in cancer diagnostics, announced a collaborative agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, through its subsidiary Life Technologies Corp. The companies will jointly develop and potentially commercialize Mainz Biomed’s next-generation colorectal cancer screening product. The test targets the early detection of colorectal cancer and focuses on precancerous lesions, particularly advanced adenomas.
January 2025—Biofidelity announced the publication of data that highlight how Aspyre technology addresses the need for rapid, accessible molecular diagnostics informing actionable genomic variants in cancer (Herlihy SE, et al. Transl Lung Cancer Res. 2024;13[11]:3083–3095). The study demonstrates that Aspyre Lung reagents can be easily set up and run at external laboratories within a few days, producing reliable results even from challenging sample types.
January 2025—Deepull announced it has received breakthrough device designation from the FDA for its UllCore bloodstream infection test. The test detects 95 percent of pathogens associated with bloodstream infections that may lead to sepsis, as well as select genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance, and has a turnaround time of one hour. The real-time multiplex PCR system extracts and analyzes total microbial DNA from 8 mL of whole blood.
