New Lung Cancer Panel Enables Acceleration
of Routine, Automated Testing in Pathology Laboratories
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced the EU launch
of a new CE-IVD labeled IQFISH lung cancer panel for automated
analysis on Dako Omnis. The new panel enables routine pathology
laboratories to easily integrate fast, high-quality FISH into their
IHC workflow. This allows labs to simultaneously stain IHC and FISH
slides and enable multiple FISH slides to be processed in just four
hours, a process that often takes two days or more with traditional
FISH.
The new panel, comprising of ALK, ROS1, RET and MET IQFISH
probes, was designed using the groundbreaking,
oligonucleotide-based SureFISH technology utilizing formamide-free
IQFISH fast hybridization buffer.
"We are excited about the upcoming probe launches for Dako
Omnis," said Jacob Thaysen, president of Agilent’s Diagnostics and
Genomics Group. "Agilent is committed to improving the speed and
accuracy of patient-sample processing and the quality of test
performance. We know that these factors greatly affect treatment
decisions and patient outcome."
The lung cancer panel is the second IQFISH launch for Dako Omnis
following its introduction of HER2 IQFISH pharmDx in 2015.
