Color Hereditary Heart Health Test

Color launched its Hereditary Heart Health Test this week. Priced at $249, the test gauges mutations in 30 genes associated with serious hereditary heart conditions that, if detected, can be monitored more closely and treated. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics supports testing for these genes. Color said that if patients have mutations in these genes, they can work with their doctors to create a plan to monitor and prevent potentially serious heart events.


3M Molecular Detection Assay 2-Campylobacter

3M Food Safety announced the release of its new 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2-Campylobacter, with 3M Campylobacter Enrichment Broth, which it believes will provide more efficient testing for a pathogen linked to poultry production. According to the firm, the assay only requires five steps and eliminates the need for microaerophilic incubation, supplements, blood, organic solvents, or autoclaving the broth. 3M noted that the assay is able to perform up to 96 tests of multiple types in a hour-long run.


MDNA Life Sciences Mitomic Prostate Test

MDNA Life Sciences has launched the Mitomic Prostate Test Real-Time PCR Kit for research use only in Europe. The liquid biopsy test is designed for the early detection of prostate cancer in advance of biopsy, is independent of PSA and age, and is available for licensee laboratories to conduct in-house validation studies and controlled testing. The assay targets the 3.4-kilobase mitochondrial DNA deletion and is designed for use on real-time PCR platforms. Each kit contains all necessary reagents to process up to 21 patient samples, MDNA said. The company noted that a CE-IVD version of the kit will be available in July.
