Promega

"Promega Corporation...today unveils the new GloMax® Galaxy Bioluminescence Imager being showcased at the annual Society for Neuroscience (SFN) 2024 conference in Chicago October 5-9."

"Promega Corporation today announced it plans to develop and commercialize a microsatellite instability (MSI) companion diagnostic (CDx) IVD kit with GSK to identify adult cancer patients with MSI-H solid tumors who may be eligible for potential treatment with GSK’s Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly). The collaboration agreement leverages the companies’ complementary strengths to expand personalized healthcare options to more patients using high quality diagnostic tools and treatments....The development of this CDx IVD kit is part of GSK’s post marketing commitment to the FDA to make a companion diagnostic available to support the safe and effective use of Jemperli in patients with MSI-H solid tumors."

"Stilla Technologies, the multiplex digital PCR company, and Promega Corporation today announced a co-marketing agreement that combines sample preparation with the latest Maxwell® systems and digital PCR on the six-color naica® system. With this partnership, the companies will offer an optimized workflow for a wide range of applications including liquid biopsy, sentinel pathogen testing, infectious disease assays, overall cancer research and drug discovery."

"Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have shown that a new panel of long mononucleotide repeats (LMR) might offer advantages over traditional microsatellite instability (MSI) detection methods in certain types of solid tumors. The study, published in the February issue of Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, is the first to use the PCR-based Promega Corporation LMR MSI Analysis System to detect MSI in endometrial, prostate and other cancers."
