MARKETPLACE

February 2025—OGT announced the North American launch of its next-generation sequencing SureSeq Myeloid MRD panel. The ultra-sensitive panel enables the detection of 13 key measurable residual disease–associated biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia. Ultralow variant detection, including for very large FLT3-ITDs, enables a stronger characterization of a sample’s current AML status. The company’s complimentary NGS analysis software, Interpret, is available on the cloud or as a local install and provides a powerful bioinformatic analysis pipeline.
