June 2021—CellBlockistry 101—The Textbook of Cell-Blocking Science addresses the cell-block-making process and cell-blocking-related challenges with advances in improved interdisciplinary coordination for optimal outcome and ongoing research in the field. The book is intended for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, cytoprep technologists, and others in fields associated with cell blocks directly or indirectly, including histotechnologists and radiologists.
June 2021—PerkinElmer launched two research use only solutions, PKamp VariantDetect SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay and the next-generation-sequencing–based Nextflex Variant-Seq SARS-CoV-2 Kit. The PKamp VariantDetect SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay can detect mutations associated with B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1 variants. The Nextflex Variant-Seq SARS-CoV-2 WGS workflow can detect all SARS-CoV-2 genetic changes relative to the strain originally identified in Wuhan, China.
June 2021—T2 Biosystems announced that Expert Review of Medical Devices published meta-analysis findings confirming that using the company’s magnetic resonance (T2MR) technology for identification of bloodstream infections provides faster time to detection, faster transition to targeted microbial therapy, faster de-escalation of empirical therapy, and shorter intensive care unit and hospital stay, and with comparable mortality rate versus the current blood culture standard (Giannella M, et al. Online ahead of print April 16, 2021. doi:10.1080/17434440.2021.1919508). Study authors systematically searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized trials or observational controlled studies of patients with suspected bloodstream infections receiving a diagnosis with T2MR or blood culture, ultimately including 14 studies.
June 2021—Qiagen received emergency use authorization for its QIAreach Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total Test, a digital assay to detect total SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgA, IgG, IgM).
June 2021—DiaSorin received emergency use authorization from the FDA for its Liaison SARS-CoV-2 Ag.
