Sanger sequencing system and HLA typing kits, 9/13

Life Technologies in February received FDA 510(k) clearance for its 3500 Dx genetic analyzers and SeCore HLA typing kits. The company’s 7500 Fast Dx real-time PCR system was cleared for diagnostic use with the CDC’s H1N1 assay in 2008. The Applied Biosystems 3500 Dx/3500xL Dx CS2 genetic analyzers, Invitrogen SeCore HLA sequencing kits, and uType Dx HLA sequence analysis software constitute the first FDA 510(k)-cleared sequence-based system for HLA typing in the United States. HLA typing on the 3500 Dx

General-purpose reagents, 9/13:80 (AACC)

NanoString Technologies’ nCounter Elements are digital molecular bar-coding chemistry assay components that allow users to assemble their own assays with oligonucleotide probes that target their genes of interest. The components enable highly multiplexed, direct profiling of individual molecules in a single reaction without amplification and are effective for a range of applications requiring efficient, high-precision quantitation of tens to hundreds of target molecules across a sample set. This chemistry generates high-quality results from challenging sample types, such as FFPE tissue

C. diff assay and PCR system, 9/13:78 (AACC)

Quidel Corp. and Life Technologies in March received FDA 510(k) clearances to market the Quidel Molecular Direct C. difficile assay with Life Technologies’ QuantStudio Dx and 7500 Fast Dx Applied Biosystems real-time PCR instruments. The C. difficile assay is part of Quidel’s molecular diagnostic product line, which includes PCR reagent kits for molecular diagnostic laboratories including Life Technologies’ QuantStudio Dx and 7500 Fast Dx. These reagents can be refrigerated instead of frozen, are convenient and ready to use, and provide a

NGS analytics software, 9/13:78 (AACC)

Life Technologies’ Oncomine Next-Gen Sequencing Power Tools is an analytics offering that will allow cancer researchers to explore results from in-depth analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. In total, more than 4,500 paired tumor and samples have been analyzed. Oncomine NGS Power Tools constitute a suite of software tools that enable cancer researchers to easily survey novel predicted driver mutations and gene fusions across all cancers and within two dozen specific cancer types,

Automated ESR analysis system, 9/13:78 (AACC)

Through a distribution agreement with Alifax, Beckman Coulter and Iris Diagnostics have launched the Alifax automated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analysis system. The automated ESR analysis systems are designed to fit the workloads of small hospitals, large reference laboratories, core laboratories, and satellite locations. The ESR system increases productivity, improves efficiencies in laboratory labor use, and reduces turnaround times. The Alifax ESR system provides fully automated, hands-off operation in a small footprint and processes the same whole blood tubes from

HbA1c test, 9/13 (AACC)

Beckman Coulter’s FDA-approved hemoglobin A1c assay (HbA1c) with improved performance is for standard use on the company’s UniCel DxC systems. The HbA1c reagent was designed and developed to improve accuracy and precision, to continue to meet the latest accuracy grading from the College of American Pathologists and the recommendations of the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program and International Federation of Clinical Chemistry. The assay features ready-to-use liquid reagents for A1c and total hemoglobin; a five-level calibrator set; 30-day onboard reagent stability;

Troponin I assay, 9/13:76 (AACC)

Beckman Coulter’s FDA-cleared Access AccuTnI+3 troponin I assay is available for use on the company’s Access 2 immunoassay system. In accordance with FDA requirements, the company conducted a large multicenter prospective clinical trial on the AccuTnI+3 troponin I assay that enrolled more than 1,900 subjects. The trial confirmed that the assay provides the clinical performance necessary for optimal patient management. The data from the trial show that the assay delivers the precision, clinical sensitivity, and clinical specificity necessary to assist

Hematology analyzer, 9/13:76 (AACC)

Beckman Coulter’s UniCel DxH 600 Coulter cellular analysis system is for mid- to high-volume laboratories. The benchtop hematology analyzer—with advanced software—provides laboratories with exceptional quality results, improved first-pass accuracy, and automatic rerun and reflex testing, thereby reducing overall manual review rates and processes. The UniCel DxH 600 is equipped with software that saves time by allowing labs to partially release patient results manually or automatically via decision rules, enables users to create and edit decision rules during instrument operation, and

Data processing and storage system, 9/13:74 (AACC)

Beckman Coulter’s Remisol Advance data-management system, v1.7 streamlines laboratory workflow and the result management process by improving sample tracking and results archiving, and through consolidating patient test information from multiple instruments in the lab or from multiple labs in the hospital network. Remisol Advance v1.7 unifies data management and features a 166 percent increase in sample data processing throughput and a 122 percent increase in sample data storage over the previous version. The software improves results reporting turnaround times and

Automation solution and more, 9/13:74 (AACC)

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics’ VersaCell X3 solution helps labs achieve the workflow benefits of automation without the space or budget considerations of a track-based solution. The platform connects up to three Siemens analyzers through one robotic sample interface, thus increasing productivity. By supporting a customized mix of chemistry, immunoassay, and/or integrated systems and associated assay menus, the VersaCell X3 solution helps labs reduce operator sample handling, prioritize staff work, and eliminate pre- and postanalytical processing—all through one-touch sample management. A priority
