June 2024—QuidelOrtho has added the Ark Fentanyl II assay to its U.S. Vitros XT 7600 and 5600 integrated systems and Vitros 4600 chemistry system. It is offered as a MicroTip Partnership Assay; MPAs are validated for use on MicroTip-capable Vitros systems through a collaboration between contracted vendors and a team of QuidelOrtho scientists and professionals. The assay provides a result in less than 10 minutes.
June 2024—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has released a new update of “M100: Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing” (34th edition) and revised editions of “M02: Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Tests” (14th edition) and “M07: Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically” (12th edition). The tables presented in M100 represent the most current information for drug selection, interpretation, and quality control using procedures defined in CLSI standards M02, M07, and M11 (“Methods for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobic Bacteria”).
June 2024—Revvity announced that its T-Spot.TB test is now available for use on the Allsheng Auto-Pure 2400 liquid handler.
June 2024—Sebia announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Capillarys 3 DBS instrument. The capillary electrophoresis-based automated analyzer is intended for the detection of normal hemoglobins (F and A) and abnormal hemoglobins (S, C, E, D, and Barts) in blood collected on filter paper from newborns. The instrument can analyze up to eight 96-well microplates and has a throughput of 70 tests per hour.
June 2024—Affinity Biosensors announced that its LifeScale AST system received FDA 510(k) clearance. The multiplex in vitro diagnostic test uses a microfluidic sensor and resonant frequency to calculate organism concentration and/or mass distribution for quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Testing is performed directly on blood cultures signaled as positive by a continuous monitoring blood culture system and confirmed by Gram stain. Results are available in less than five hours.
June 2024—Verichem Laboratories now offers a liquid-stable, ready-to-use set of multilevel clinical reference materials for the calibration verification of ethanol assays.
