May 2025—Revvity announced that the FDA has approved the Auto-Pure 2400 liquid handling platform with the T-Spot.TB test, for in vitro diagnostic use. The Auto-Pure 2400 tests up to 24 samples per run and completes day-one T-Spot.TB workflows in less than three and a half hours.
May 2025—Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Applied Biosystems SeqStudio Flex Dx genetic analyzer, an IVDR-compliant capillary electrophoresis system for Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis in targeted genomic testing. The system includes three operating modes—in vitro diagnostic use, investigational use only, and research use only—and is available in eight- and 24-capillary configurations. It features four-plate capacity, continuous plate loading with auto-spectral calibration capabilities, and urgent sample reprioritization.
May 2025—The following is an extended release prepared by Agilent Technologies: Pathology plays a critical role in cancer care, encompassing the development of new treatments, diagnosis, staging, grading of disease, and clinical decision-making. While histopathological slides of tissue biopsies using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining remain central to this process, the rise of precision medicine testing is placing greater demands on pathology labs.
April 2025—Diasorin announced the launch of its Simplexa C. auris Direct kit in all countries that accept the CE mark. The real-time polymerase chain reaction assay is used for the direct in vitro qualitative detection of C. auris DNA from a composite swab of the axilla and groin from patients suspected of C. auris colonization. The assay detects all six C. auris clades identified worldwide. Results are available in less than two hours on the Liaison MDX.
April 2025—Advanced Instruments, a subsidiary of Patricia Industries, announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Nova Biomedical. Following the close of the transaction, Advanced Instruments and Nova Biomedical will merge and operate under the Nova Biomedical name. Byron Selman, president and CEO of Advanced Instruments, will lead the combined business, while Nova Biomedical founding shareholders Frank Manganaro, CEO, and Dr. Chung-Chang Young, EVP of R&D, will stay with the company in a consulting capacity.
April 2025—Vitestro unveiled its CE-marked Aletta Autonomous Robotic Phlebotomy Device. Using AI-driven ultrasound guidance, robotic precision, and full automation, Aletta is designed to perform the entire blood draw process, from applying a tourniquet and preparing the skin to vein identification, venipuncture, automated tube handling, and bandage application. The device integrates advanced AI-driven Doppler ultrasound technology to optimize vein selection and needle placement.
April 2025—Bio/Data Corp. has introduced its AGG/PAK 5 Combo kit for platelet aggregation testing.
April 2025—ARUP Laboratories announced the expansion of its AI-augmented screening tool for the detection of human gastrointestinal parasites to include wet-mount slides.
