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.
Webinar presenter Mark Ewalt, MD, Associate Medical Director for Laboratory Operations for Diagnostic Molecular Pathology in the Molecular Diagnostics Service, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, MSKCC.

This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.

December 2020—Genalyte announced that its SARS-CoV-2 Multi-Antigen Serology Panel received emergency use authorization from the FDA. The panel tests for IgM and IgG antibodies against 13 unique viral antigens and runs on the company’s Maverick diagnostic system, which provides results in 20 minutes. The test demonstrated 98 percent specificity and 96 percent sensitivity.
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.
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. The format of microplates can be adjusted directly with the format limiters. For other sample tubes or tubes in holders, the cone spacing is selected by using the rotary knob.
December 2020—OralDNA Labs announced that the FDA issued an amended emergency use authorization for the OraRisk COVID-19 RT-PCR test, allowing testing from a saline oral rinse collection. Samples are viable for up to 72 hours and do not require cold pack transportation.
December 2020—Fabric Genomics launched Fabric GEM, a novel algorithm that identifies the likely genetic cause of rare diseases using next-generation sequencing.
November 2020—Magnolia Medical Technologies launched Mission to Zero to bring greater awareness to patient safety and antibiotic-associated risks caused by false-positive diagnostic test results for sepsis. Magnolia is launching the initiative by partnering with emergency departments, critical care units, clinical laboratories, and infection prevention teams within acute care hospitals. Each team member makes an individual pledge to participate, the company says, which allows all departments to work in tandem to ensure the best possible patient outcomes and experience are achieved.
November 2020—Cepheid received emergency use authorization from the FDA for its Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV, a rapid molecular diagnostic test for qualitative detection of the viruses that cause COVID-19, flu A, flu B, and RSV infections from a single patient sample.
November 2020—Siemens Healthineers received FDA emergency use authorization for the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test. It is the first antibody test authorized with a semiquantitative detection claim.
November 2020—ARUP Laboratories’ formula for ARUP Transport Media is now available to other laboratories. The formula is provided at the end of an article about an ARUP and University of Utah Health study in which the transport media was used for specimen collection (Hanson KE, et al. J Clin Microbiol. Accepted manuscript. Published online Aug. 12, 2020. doi:10.1128/JCM.01824-20).
November 2020—Bio-Rad Laboratories launched its in vitro diagnostics Virotrol SARS-CoV-2 and Viroclear SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative quality controls for use in antibody testing of SARS-CoV-2. The serological controls are available for in vitro assay procedures in the U.S. and are CE marked for IVD markets outside the U.S.
