February 2020—Eppendorf has launched 25-mL conical tubes. It is the same diameter as a conventional 50-mL conical tube and comes with either the SnapTec snap cap or screw cap, both of which have high centrifugation stability. The SnapTec cap allows for single-handed opening and closing of the cap. The wide opening of the tube, combined with the lower height, is designed to offer easy sample access.
February 2020—Genomenon announced a partnership with Sophia Genetics that includes incorporating Genomenon’s Mastermind genomic search engine into the Sophia platform and the Alamut suite.
February 2020—Qiagen introduced QIAseq Multimodal Panels, which offer a consolidated workflow to enrich DNA variants, RNA fusions, and gene expression levels from a single sample, with input as low as 10 ng of total nucleic acid. It reduces the workflow to approximately nine hours, the company reports, by eliminating the need for two workflows from separate DNA and RNA samples.
February 2020—Codexis, a protein engineering company, announced a license agreement to provide Roche with its EvoT4 DNA ligase high-performance molecular diagnostic enzyme. The enzyme was developed using Codexis’ CodeEvolver protein engineering platform and is expected to be incorporated into Roche’s next-generation sequencing library preparation kits and other sequencing products. The license grants Roche worldwide rights to include the EvoT4 DNA ligase in its nucleic acid sequencing products and workflows.
February 2020—Roche and Sarepta Therapeutics signed a licensing agreement providing Roche exclusive commercial rights, outside the United States, to SRP-9001 (AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-dystrophin), Sarepta’s investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under the terms of the agreement, Sarepta will receive an upfront payment of $750 million in cash and $400 million in equity. In addition, Sarepta is eligible to receive regulatory and sales milestones, and royalties on net sales. Roche and Sarepta will equally share global development expenses. As part of the agreement, Roche also obtains an option to acquire ex-U.S. rights to certain future DMD-specific programs from Sarepta, in exchange for separate milestone and royalty considerations, and cost sharing.
February 2020—Baebies announced that its Finder platform is CE marked as an in vitro diagnostic device and commercially available in Europe and other countries that recognize the CE mark. The platform includes an instrument and a cartridge, which tests for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from 50 μL of whole blood. Features of the platform include an eight-inch-wide footprint, preloaded consumables with all necessary reagents, and a turnaround time of approximately 15 minutes from sample introduction.
February 2020—ArcherDX announced a nonexclusive, multiyear partnership with Illumina intended to broaden access of next-generation-sequencing–based oncology testing, including companion diagnostics for therapeutic selection, personalized monitoring, and recurrence surveillance IVD tests, upon FDA approval.
February 2020—Verichem Laboratories announced the availability of its HDL Cholesterol Verifier kit intended for the calibration verification of HDL and LDL cholesterol assays. The kit contains high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from human serum in a ready-to-use, liquid stable format that is free of surfactants, glycols, and azide.
February 2020—Roche announced FDA approval of Tecentriq (atezolizumab) in combination with chemotherapy (Abraxane [paclitaxel protein-bound; nab-paclitaxel] and carboplatin) for the initial treatment of adults with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The European Commission approved the combination therapy in September.
February 2020—Foundation Medicine has received FDA approval for its FoundationOne CDx to be used as a companion diagnostic for Piqray (alpelisib) in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of postmenopausal women, and men, with hormone receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative, PIK3CA-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer following progression on or after an endocrine-based regimen.
