March 2023—BD announced FDA market approval for the Onclarity HPV assay to be used with the Hologic ThinPrep Pap test. The Onclarity HPV assay detects and identifies 14 high-risk human papillomavirus types in a single analysis. The assay reports genotypes 16, 18, 31, 45, 51, 52, 33/58, 35/39/68, and 56/59/66, and has FDA approval for use in vaccinated women.
March 2023—Agilent Technologies released an on-deck thermal cycler that integrates with the company’s Bravo NGS automated liquid handling platform. The optional accessory enables the Bravo platform to provide thermal cycling as part of an automated protocol and extends walkaway time. The setup is beneficial, the company says, for applications such as library preparation and target enrichment steps in next-generation sequencing workflows, end-point PCR, and cell-based applications.
March 2023—LGC SeraCare has developed three contrived, tumor normal cell-line–derived homologous recombinant deficiency reference materials: Seraseq FFPE HRD High-Positive RM, Seraseq FFPE HRD Low-Positive RM, and Seraseq FFPE HRD Negative RM.
March 2023—PerkinElmer debuted its Zephyr G3 NGS iQ workstation at the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening conference in San Diego, Feb. 25–March 1. The system enables the automated construction of up to 96 NGS libraries and is composed of a high-performing liquid handler, integrated thermocycler, robotic arm, and deck accessories and peripherals. The workstation is available with an optional cloud-based software to further simplify creating and editing NGS protocols, the company says, by using a single pane of glass interface and developing methods from scientific intent rather than code.
March 2023—Bio-Rad launched its CFX Opus Deepwell Dx real-time PCR system, an open platform for developing in vitro diagnostic assays. The system multiplexes up to five targets and allows reaction volumes up to 125 µL in a 96-well format for quantitative PCR diagnostic assays. CFX Maestro Dx SE software provides data management and analysis tools.
January 2023—General Data Healthcare launched its LaserTrack Flex cassette printer. The Flex has a footprint of 13” L × 19” W and a capacity that starts at 480 cassettes, with each magazine holding 80 cassettes; it can be upgraded to hold up to 800 cassettes. The standard configuration prints on the face of the cassette and can be upgraded to also print on one or both sides. Cassettes can be loaded on the right or left side of the printer.
January 2023—Roche has launched its Anti-PRAME (EPR20330) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody to identify PRAME protein expression in tissue samples from patients who are suspected of having melanoma. Studies suggest that the detection of PRAME expression by immunohistochemistry complements findings from routinely used tests and enables more informed clinical decisions and improved patient outcomes, according to a company press release.
January 2023—BioMérieux announced the CE marking of its Vidas Kube, a next-generation automated immunoassay system for the company’s Vidas range. The system features a stackable and modular benchtop design and is compatible with the existing routine test menu covering emergency and critical care, immunochemistry, and infectious diseases. The commercial launch is planned in selected countries at the beginning of the year, extending gradually to the rest of the world during the second quarter.
January 2023—EKF Diagnostics’ DiaSpect handheld hemoglobin analyzer now connects securely to EKF Link, the company’s point-of-care middleware. DiaSpect is also now equipped with Bluetooth and internal storage for 4,000 tests and QC results, as well as the capability to provide a calculated hematocrit value alongside the hemoglobin result. Test results are stored and accessed securely on a centralized platform.
January 2023—Santé Consulting and Vanguard Healthcare Staffing announced a partnership in which the companies will provide recruiting support for anatomic and clinical laboratories.
