Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Scientific, Inpeco to develop LC-MS/MS, TLA connectivity

August 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced an agreement with Inpeco S.A. to develop connectivity between the Thermo Scientific Cascadion SM automated liquid chromatography mass spectrometer and the Inpeco S.A. FlexLab total laboratory automation system.

CE-IVD-marked TaqPath respiratory viral panel

August 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched its Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select panel. The CE-IVD-marked molecular assay panel provides results in approximately three hours and tests for adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus/enterovirus, and parainfluenza virus using PCR technology. RNase P and positive controls are included to offer sample-to-result reliability. The solution is scalable, allowing laboratories to run from one to 94 samples simultaneously.

NGS-based CDx approved to ID candidates for Enhertu

Aug. 16, 2022—The FDA granted premarket approval to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Oncomine Dx Target test as a companion diagnostic to identify patients whose tumors have HER2 (ERBB2)-activating mutations (single nucleotide variants and exon 20 insertion) in non-small cell lung cancer who may be candidates for Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki).

Thermo Scientific, Inpeco to develop LC-MS, TLA connectivity

July 13, 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced an agreement with Inpeco S.A. to develop connectivity between the Thermo Scientific Cascadion SM automated liquid chromatography mass spectrometer and the Inpeco FlexLab total laboratory automation system.

Thermo Fisher RT-LAMP tests for ID surveillance

April 2022—Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched two reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)–based solutions for research use only. The Invitrogen Colorimetric ReadiLAMP Kit, SARS-CoV-2, is an off-the-shelf assay designed to provide accurate, robust detection of SARS-CoV-2 from saliva, nasal, or nasopharyngeal swab samples. The kit includes two protocols, one for crude sample types with a 30-minute turnaround time and one for increased sensitivity with purified RNA sample types that has a one-hour turnaround time.

TaqMan panel updated to include mu strain

November 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific has updated its research use only Applied Biosystems TaqMan SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Panel to include the mu strain. Laboratories can build their own panel from a menu of more than 50 verified real-time PCR assays that allows the user to identify relevant SARS-CoV-2 mutations and adapt as additional mutations and variants emerge.

Thermo Fisher launches TaqPath COVID-19 2.0 test

July 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its CE-IVD-marked TaqPath COVID-19 Fast PCR Combo Kit 2.0. The kit uses an advanced assay design that compensates for current and emerging variants, the company says, by using eight targets across three genomic regions of the virus to help ensure the test provides accurate results even as the virus mutates.

FDA expands EUA for TaqPath COVID-19 combo kit

June 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the FDA has expanded emergency use authorization for the Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit to include the high-throughput Thermo Fisher Scientific Amplitude solution.
