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.

April 2020—Fujirebio Diagnostics received FDA clearance of its Lumipulse G1200 CA19-9-N chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use on the Lumipulse G1200 system. The assay provides the quantitative measurement of CA 19-9 in human serum or plasma and is for use as an aid in the management of patients diagnosed with cancer of the exocrine pancreas.
April 2020—Agilent Technologies introduced three microarrays to meet the needs of cytogenetic laboratories conducting prenatal and postnatal research.
April 2020—Epredia introduced its SlideMate Pro slide printing system at USCAP, Feb. 29–March 5, in Los Angeles. It was the first time the company attended USCAP; Epredia was established in July 2019 through an acquisition by PHC Group from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
April 2020—Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the Ion Torrent CarrierSeq ECS Kit for the Ion GeneStudio S5 system. The next-generation-sequencing–based solution consolidates a multiplatform approach into a single solution.
April 2020—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has published its annually updated antimicrobial susceptibility testing supplement, “M100: Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, 30th ed.” M100 is available as part of a package with either “M02: Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility, 13th ed.” or “M07: Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically, 11th ed.,” or all three documents can be purchased together. A free, read-only web version of M100 is available at https://j.mp/2UEHgtj.
March 2020—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of its ethanol standard kits. The protein-based, liquid standards are intended for calibration or calibration verification of serum ethanol test systems. The product also contains lactate, salicylate, and acetaminophen in a known linear relation and may be used to determine the linearity, sensitivity, and reportable range for these analytes as well. The reference materials are free of surfactants, glycols, azide, and other interfering substances. The kit contains a six-level set with 5.0 mL of each level.
March 2020—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. This test had been limited to use at CDC laboratories; the authorization allows the use of the test at any CDC-qualified lab in the United States.
March 2020—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the Applied Biosystems Axiom Propel Genotyping workflow designed to allow laboratories to scale up easily by eliminating the need for multiple liquid handlers and lower running costs through the use of reusable dispensing cassettes and minimal labware.
March 2020—Oxford Gene Technology launched its SureSeq CLL + CNV Panel, a next-generation sequencing panel designed to detect 12 key genes and five chromosomal regions implicated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia progression.
March 2020—Roche announced the commercial availability of a quantitative Adenovirus Test for use with the Cobas Omni utility channel on the Cobas 6800/8800 systems in countries accepting the CE mark. The test aims to help health care professionals better monitor and manage severely immunocompromised transplant patients at risk of infections.
