Verichem Labs reference materials

December 2020—Protein-based, ready-to-use liquid Matrix Plus Cholesterol Reference kits are available from Verichem Laboratories. The kits are designed to support overall system quality control and CLIA compliance and are for the calibration or calibration verification of cholesterol and uric acid wet assays on clinical testing systems. The materials contain esterified and free cholesterol from bovine serum. The standard kit with the sixth level F covers 12 concentration points; cholesterol concentrations range from 40 to 750 mg/dL and uric acid concentrations from 2 to 30 mg/dL. Active components are verified using standard reference materials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Shelf life is 21 months from the date of manufacture. Ready-to-use, liquid Total Protein and Albumin reference materials are also available. The combined Total Protein/Albumin Standard kit, along with the optional standalone Total Protein/Albumin Standard level F, are designed for the calibration and calibration verification of albumin and total protein assays on a wide number of clinical testing systems. The standards are prepared with human serum albumin and gamma-globulin serum proteins in a saline-based solution. Shelf life is 24 months from the manufacturing date.

FDA approves Gavreto for metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC

December 2020—Roche announced FDA approval of Gavreto (pralsetinib) for the treatment of adults with metastatic rearranged during transfection fusion–positive non-small cell lung cancer as detected by an FDA-approved test. Gavreto is a once-daily, oral precision therapy designed to selectively target RET alterations, including fusions and mutations.

FDA approves first treatment for COVID-19

December 2020—The FDA approved Gilead Sciences’ antiviral drug Veklury (remdesivir) for use in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kilograms (about 88 pounds) for the treatment of COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Veklury should be administered only in a hospital or health care setting capable of providing acute care comparable to inpatient hospital care. Veklury is the first treatment for COVID-19 to receive FDA approval.

COVID-19, flu, RSV test available from ARUP

December 2020—ARUP Laboratories announced the availability of a combined test to detect and differentiate COVID-19, influenza, and/or respiratory syncytial virus in individuals with respiratory symptoms consistent with COVID-19.

Siemens, Novartis to develop assays

December 2020—Siemens Healthineers announced a master collaboration agreement with Novartis Pharma to design, develop, and commercialize diagnostic tests for therapeutic products across Novartis’ therapeutic pipeline. The initial program will focus on developing a serum neurofilament light chain immunoassay for patients with multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases.

PCR Biosystems kit for Illumina NGS systems

December 2020—PCR Biosystems has introduced its NGSBIO Library Quant Kit for Illumina. The kit contains all the components necessary for accurate and sensitive quantification of DNA libraries prior to next-generation sequencing with Illumina platforms. The kit contains five DNA standards, primers specific to the p5 and p7 Illumina adapter sequences, a library dilution buffer, and qPCRBIO SyGreen Mix or qPCRBIO SyGreen Blue Mix. The blue qPCR mix contains a nonreactive dye to improve reaction mix visibility and is useful when using small reaction volumes or white plates.

Qiagen launches NeuMoDx multiplex test

December 2020—Qiagen announced the European launch of the NeuMoDx Flu A-B/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 Vantage Test, which aims to help health care professionals identify and differentiate between patients with common seasonal respiratory infections and COVID-19. The multiplex PCR test detects and differentiates influenzas A and B, respiratory syncytial virus, and SARS-CoV-2 infections within 80 minutes.

Eppendorf adjustable spacing pipettes

December 2020—Eppendorf released its Move It Adjustable Spacing Pipettes. Move It was designed for the synchronous pipetting of a series of samples between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates, without tubing connections between cone and piston-cylinder system.
