Life Technologies has signed a collaborative research agreement and related license with Harvard University under which Life Tech has acquired exclusive rights to develop a panel of characterization assays to rapidly evaluate human pluripotent stem cells for their utility in discovery and translational research applications.
Diagnovus has launched Engauge-cancer-DLBCL, a commercial gene-expression assay for risk stratification and treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. “Engauge-cancer-DLBCL, which combines a patient’s IPI [International Prognostic Index] score and the results of the gene-expression assay, can more accurately predict outcomes for patients than IPI alone in order to optimize treatment choices for patients,” Ron Levy, MD, leader of the Lymphoma Program at Stanford University School of Medicine, said in a statement.
NanoString Technologies has launched its first commercial IVD product, the Prosigna breast cancer prognostic gene signature assay for the nCounter diagnostic system, in the European Union and Israel. Based on the PAM50 gene signature initially discovered by Charles Perou, PhD, and colleagues, the Prosigna assay provides a subtype classification based on the biology of an individual’s breast tumor (intrinsic subtyping), and a prognostic score (risk of recurrence, or ROR, score).
SeraCare Life Sciences has launched three seroconversion panels that provide difficult-to-find patient samples for hepatitis B and HIV. HBV seroconversion panel PHM938 comprises six undiluted plasma samples from a single donor drawn over a six-day period and is HBV DNA-positive from the first bleed.
Randox Toxicology offers three new ELISA testing kits for the detection of sedative drugs zopiclone, zaleplon, and zolpidem, which behave similarly to benzodiazepines. Randox developed the ELISA kits for the detection of these drugs in urine and blood specimens. The zolpidem ELISA offers a limit of detection of 0.4 ng/mL in urine and 0.52 ng/mL in blood.
Dako has received FDA clearance to sell its Flex monoclonal rabbit anti-human estrogen receptor alpha, clone EP1 in the United States. The clone has been available in Europe for some time.
