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.

February 2023—BD has introduced a robotic track system for the BD Kiestra microbiology laboratory solution that automates lab specimen processing. The BD Kiestra third-generation total lab automation system allows laboratories to create a custom and flexible total lab automation configuration to connect multiple BD Kiestra modules.
February 2023—SD Biosensor and SJL Partners LLC, both based in South Korea, have completed the transaction to acquire Meridian Bioscience. Meridian will continue to operate as an independent entity, under new ownership, headquartered in Cincinnati. Meridian offers immunoassay and molecular raw materials for human and veterinarian diagnostics testing, and it plans to add service capabilities for lyophilized bead and lateral flow test manufacturing.
February 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has granted emergency use authorization for its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Monkeypox/Orthopox Virus DNA kit, a polymerase chain reaction test designed to detect non-variola orthopoxviruses, including monkeypox virus, in approximately three-and-a-half hours. The test is intended for the qualitative detection of DNA from monkeypox virus (clades one and two) and screening for non-variola orthopoxviruses in human lesion swab specimens from patients suspected of monkeypox infection by their health care provider. The test is for in vitro diagnostic use.
February 2023—Agilent Technologies announced an agreement with Quest Diagnostics that will enable providers and patients in the United States to access the Agilent Resolution ctDx First liquid biopsy next-generation sequencing test.
January 2023—Verichem Laboratories offers liquid-stable, ready-to-use clinical reference materials intended for calibration and calibration verification procedures for total cholesterol and high- and low-density lipoprotein assays.
January 2023—DiaSorin announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Simplexa Congenital CMV Direct kit. The molecular diagnostic test enables direct detection of cytomegalovirus DNA in saliva swab and urine specimens from babies 21 days old or younger. It is the first kit to receive FDA clearance for CMV detection from both saliva swab and urine specimens.
January 2023—ZeptoMetrix launched its NATtrol MS2 bacteriophage quantitative stock, intended for use as an internal process control for rt-PCR assays.
January 2023—HemoSonics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Quantra hemostasis system with QStat cartridge. The clearance of the QStat cartridge expands the Quantra system’s indications for use to include trauma and liver transplant procedures.
December 2022—Hologic has been awarded a $19 million contract from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The funding will help bring Hologic’s Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV and Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assays in line with the FDA’s in vitro diagnostic standards and support clinical efforts to obtain claims for nasal samples using the Panther Fusion as well as market authorization for COVID-19 testing of asymptomatic individuals who have reason to be tested. The Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay received EUA in May 2020, and the CE-marked Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV assay is under development in the United States. The project has been funded with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, and BARDA.
December 2022—MRC Holland released two assays, the Salsa digitalMLPA Probemix D006 Multiple Myeloma and Salsa digitalMLPA Probemix D007 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
