Thermo Fisher Scientific Certifies Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System to Meet IVDR Requirements
12.9.2022 09:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Thermo Fisher Scientific has certified the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System* to meet new In Vitro Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) requirements. The updated system now includes new, complementary Applied Biosystems Diomni Software ecosystem to empower clinical labs and test developers to leverage flexible PCR testing onsite.
Designed for maximum productivity and fast ramp-up, the QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System enables users to transition from development to validation on a single system. The expandable, automated platform comes with interchangeable 96-well and 384-well blocks and also includes remote desktop and touchscreen controls, facial authentication, voice command and smart tech support to increase user productivity.
“We have continued to support our customers throughout the transition to IVDR, first by introducing the updated Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx Real-Time PCR System earlier this year and now with the launch of the IVDR-compliant QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System and new complementary Diomni Software ecosystem,” said Fernando Beils, vice president and general manager of qPCR instruments at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “As test developers and laboratories expand their assay menus and IVD testing capabilities, we are committed to continue providing innovative solutions to meet their evolving needs.”
Whether performing a routine test or developing a new assay, the integrated, IVDR-compliant Applied Biosystems Diomni Software ecosystem is designed to streamline the entire workflow with a plug-and-play design and simplified set-up to enhance efficiency and minimize user error. The centralized set-up allows connection to multiple real-time PCR instruments and secure data sharing across a user network.
“The ability to import plate set-up files from external software and export result sets in a customizable structure made it easy to integrate the QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System with our laboratory information management software,” said Dr. Gustav Quade, laboratory medicine and technical development specialist at the Quade Laboratory in Germany. “The new Diomni Software makes it easy to work collaboratively and we can set up runs, manage past runs and documentation, and interpret fluorescent curves remotely and efficiently without the need to install special software.”
The QuantStudio 7 Pro Dx Real-Time PCR System is available in all regions that recognize CE-IVD certification and is also listed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a class II medical device.

Coolbrook Secures Business Finland Funding to Accelerate Electrification for the Global Steel Industry29.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Coolbrook, a transformational technology company dedicated to decarbonising heavy industry and industrial processes, has been awarded research and development funding by Business Finland to accelerate the decarbonisation of steel production. The grant supports Coolbrook’s participation in the FutSteel project, a core component of the Sustainable World through Steels ecosystem led by SSAB. Within the broader FutSteel project, Coolbrook’s project scope amounts to €5 million, of which €2.5 million is covered by grant funding awarded to Coolbrook. The funding will enable Coolbrook to further accelerate and develop its next-generation RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology, specifically tailored for high-temperature steel industry applications. The project focuses on integrating RDH™ technology into critical stages of the steel production chain, including blast furnace processes, electrified reheating, hot-stove air pre-heating, hybrid-heating concepts, decarbonised Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)
Samsung Bioepis Announces Positive Preliminary Phase 1 and Phase 3 Data for SB27, a Proposed Biosimilar to Keytruda (Pembrolizumab)29.6.2026 10:19:00 EEST | Press release
Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. announced today that the Phase 1 and Phase 3 studies on SB27, a proposed biosimilar to Keytruda1 (pembrolizumab), have met their primary endpoints. “We are excited to announce preliminary results from the Phase 1 and Phase 3 studies for SB27, our pembrolizumab biosimilar candidate. These topline positive results reinforce our scientific expertise and leadership in biosimilar development,” said Donghoon Shin, Executive Vice President and Head of Clinical Sciences Division at Samsung Bioepis. “We are on track to complete both Phase 1 and Phase 3 studies within this year. Leveraging our robust quality management system, we remain committed to advancing our biosimilar portfolio to broaden access to life-saving biologic medicines for patients with unmet needs.” Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that acts as an immune checkpoint inhibitor by targeting and blocking the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) receptor on T cells. It is used to treat vari
IQM Named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Quantum Computing 2026 Vendor Assessment29.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
IQM today announced it has been named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Quantum Computing 2026 Vendor Assessment. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260629748732/en/ IQM named a major player in the IDC MarketScape IQM believes this recognition comes as institutions worldwide move quantum computing out of shared cloud access and into infrastructure they own and operate themselves. IQM calls this Production Quantum: full-stack, open-architecture superconducting systems deployed on premises, inside customers' own data centers and HPC environments, where organizations own the hardware, build internal expertise, and run quantum processors alongside their existing classical infrastructure. According to the IDC MarketScape, "For institutions building long-term quantum programs, this means the workflows and intellectual property developed on IQM hardware remain portable." The report further advises: "Consi
Zambon Announces Positive CHMP Opinion for Hopledo® (IPX203) for Adults with Parkinson’s Disease and Moderate to Severe Motor Fluctuations29.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Zambon today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending the granting of a marketing authorization by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Hopledo® (modified-release levodopa/carbidopa) for the treatment of adult patients with Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe motor fluctuations who have not been sufficiently stabilized with oral levodopa/DDC inhibitor-based treatment regimens. CHMP recommendation is based on data from the Phase 3 RISE-PD trial, which compared Hopledo® with immediate release levodopa/carbidopa (LD/CD) formulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe motor fluctuations. In the study, Hopledo® demonstrated a significant increase in Good ON time over immediate release LD/CD with fewer daily doses and a comparable safety profile1. Hopledo® is a first-in-class, oral, modified-release formulation of LD/CD designed for the treatment of fluctuations of Parkinson’s diseas
Enhertu ® Approved in the EU as First Tumor Agnostic HER2 Directed Therapy and Antibody Drug Conjugate for Patients with Previously Treated HER2 Positive Metastatic Solid Tumors29.6.2026 09:30:00 EEST | Press release
Enhertu® (trastuzumab deruxtecan) has been approved in the European Union (EU) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2 positive (immunohistochemistry [IHC] 3+) solid tumors who have received prior treatment and who have no satisfactory treatment options. Enhertu is a specifically engineered HER2 directed DXd antibody drug conjugate (ADC) discovered by Daiichi Sankyo (TSE: 4568) and being jointly developed and commercialized by Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/NYSE: AZN). The approval by the European Commission follows the positive opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency and is based on results from subgroups of patients with HER2 positive (IHC 3+) tumors across three phase 2 trials, including DESTINY-PanTumor02, DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-CRC02. In DESTINY-PanTumor02, Enhertu demonstrated a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 52.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 42.6-6
