Sept. 28, 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced FDA clearance of its Thermo Scientific Brahms CgA II Kryptor, an automated immunofluorescent assay for the quantitative determination of the concentration of chromogranin A in human serum.
June 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has cleared the Thermo Scientific Brahms PlGF Plus Kryptor and Brahms sFlt-1 Kryptor novel biomarkers, both of which received breakthrough designation from the FDA.
January 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its TrueMark Infectious Disease Research Panels. The analytically sensitive, duplexed TaqMan assays are performed on pre-spotted and dried-down plates that include microorganism‑specific pathogens, using real‑time PCR techniques, which enables rapid and accurate detection for investigating microorganisms that cause respiratory, vaginal, urinary, gastrointestinal, and sexually transmitted diseases. The predefined and customizable panel options allow researchers to choose from more than 90 different bacterial and viral strain assays to generate results within four hours of taking the samples. Testing can be done from nasopharyngeal swabs or nasopharyngeal aspirate; vaginal, genital, and lesion swabs; or urine samples.
February 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced more than 50 Absolute Q liquid biopsy assays for research use. The wet lab verified liquid biopsy assays provide highly sensitive, specific nucleic acid quantification, enabling single nucleotide polymorphisms detection down to 0.1 percent variant allele frequency.
February 2023—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has granted emergency use authorization for its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Monkeypox/Orthopox Virus DNA kit, a polymerase chain reaction test designed to detect non-variola orthopoxviruses, including monkeypox virus, in approximately three-and-a-half hours. The test is intended for the qualitative detection of DNA from monkeypox virus (clades one and two) and screening for non-variola orthopoxviruses in human lesion swab specimens from patients suspected of monkeypox infection by their health care provider. The test is for in vitro diagnostic use.
November 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Binding Site Group from a shareholder group led by European private equity firm Nordic Capital. The all-cash transaction is valued at approximately $2.6 billion at current exchange rates, Thermo Fisher reported in a press release.
Dec. 16, 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched TrueMark Infectious Disease Research Panels.
October 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched the CE-IVD Oncomine Dx Express test and Oncomine Reporter Dx for use in clinical labs.
Sept. 28, 2022—The FDA has approved Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Oncomine Dx Target Test as a companion diagnostic to aid in selecting patients with RET-fusion positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, RET-fusion positive advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer, and RET-mutation positive advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer who may be eligible for treatment with Lilly’s Retevmo (selpercatinib).
September 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its Applied Biosystems HIV-1 Genotyping Kit with Integrase, a research use only assay that examines positive samples of human immunodeficiency virus to identify genetic variants that resist common antiretroviral therapeutics.
