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.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

March 2024—Binx Health announced it has entered into a national distribution agreement with Cardinal Health to expand access to care with its CLIA-waived, FDA-cleared Binx IO. The molecular point-of-care platform is used to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea in male and female patient samples and provides results in about 30 minutes.
March 2024—Cepheid announced it has received FDA clearance with a CLIA waiver for the Xpert Xpress MVP, a multiplex vaginal panel that can now be performed in near-patient settings. The test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis from a single specimen. It runs on Cepheid’s GeneXpert Xpress instruments and provides results within an hour.
March 2024—Bruker Corp. has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire EliTechGroup for €870 million (about $940 million) in cash, excluding EliTech’s clinical chemistry business. Bruker expects to close the transaction in the second quarter of this year.
March 2024—Qiagen Digital Insights announced its enhanced CLC Genomics Workbench Premium with LightSpeed technology now supports next-generation sequencing for somatic cancer secondary analysis. The software accelerator converts raw sequencing data in FASTQ files to interpretable lists of genetic variants in variant call format files. Qiagen says LightSpeed can analyze a 275-gene comprehensive cancer panel at 3377× coverage in six minutes for less than $0.72 per test within standard cloud environments, or laboratories can run the Qiagen CLC LightSpeed technology on existing local hardware with similar performance.
March 2024—OGT announced the opening of state-of-the-art facilities in Oxford Technology Park in the U.K. The facilities will drive development of OGT’s SureSeq next-generation sequencing product portfolio, as well as deliver expert-led training and opportunities for collaboration. Customers can receive face-to-face support with OGT’s field application specialists at the new facility and in-depth demonstrations of the company’s NGS and FISH products.
March 2024—Copan Diagnostics announced the third FDA 510(k) clearance for its Colibrí automated ID/AST preparation instrument. The in vitro diagnostic specimen preparation system has been cleared to prepare MALDI-TOF targets for qualitative identification and microbial suspension for the Beckman Coulter MicroScan WalkAway antimicrobial susceptibility testing system for qualitative testing of isolated colonies of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species grown on solid culture media.
March 2024—BD Biosciences has released its BD Horizon RealBlue 744 and 705 laser-specific reagents, designed to reduce spillover and well suited for low- to medium-expression surface and intracellular markers. RB 744 can be used on five-laser BD FacSymphony analyzers and spectral flow cytometers. RealBlue 705 is an alternative to BD PerCP-Cy5.5 and BD Brilliant Blue 700 reagents and is compatible with conventional and spectral flow cytometry.
February 2024—StatLab announced the availability of its PiSmart thermal transfer slide printer for the automated printing of histology slides with patient information in three to five seconds. The slide printer connects with all on-market LIS systems or can be used as a standalone printer. The printer incorporates two hoppers for preloading different slide types. The single-slide manual load option allows users to bypass the hoppers when needed. PathSmart tracking software is included.
February 2024—Advancements in whole slide imaging, integration of AI, and global collaboration networks are three areas the new president of the Digital Pathology Association highlighted in his first communication with DPA members this year.
February 2024—Verichem Laboratories now offers its Tru-Zero Bilirubin Standard as part of the company’s line of liquid-stable and protein-based total and direct bilirubin clinical reference materials. The standard is intended to be treated as a patient specimen and features universal instrument compatibility. The concentration level for the total and direct bilirubin assays is 0.0 mg/dL. The product has an open-vial stability claim of five days and a shelf life of 14 months when stored at 2° to 8°C.
