Molecular diagnostic kit manufacturers and clinical testing labs that develop their own assays need open qPCR platforms that meet IVDR requirements. The IVDR-compliant QuantStudio 5 Dx System will enable molecular diagnostic manufacturers to develop new IVDR-compliant tests under the new regulations. The system will also help clinical labs running diagnostic tests switch to IVDR qPCR testing.
“Molecular diagnostic manufacturers and laboratories that lack appropriately validated and CE-labelled instruments and tests may face delays under the new IVDR regulations,” said Marty Murawski, vice president, regulatory and quality assurance, at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “We are committed to helping our customers maintain high patient safety standards, meet new requirements, and obtain proper accreditation to remain competitive in today’s market. By making the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Dx Real-Time PCR System IVDR-compliant, we can now provide a high-performance, reliable qPCR system to support new testing workflows.”
Among the system’s updates, the multi-mode software is now IVDR compliant, providing dual functionality for running diagnostic tests and developing new assays in today’s regulatory environment. The qPCR system comes with an intuitive touchscreen and simplified, efficient workflow that minimizes steps to deliver quality results in as little as 30 minutes. In addition, a security, auditing, e-signature module provides secure operation.
The updated QuantStudio 5 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).

TestMu AI Brings Real Device Testing to Kane CLI, Letting Developers Test Mobile Apps on Real Phones From Any Terminal16.10.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced real device support in Kane CLI. Developers can now test a mobile app on a real phone or tablet in the TestMu AI cloud straight from the terminal: they type what to test in plain English, and Kane taps through the app on a real Android or iOS device. Until now, testing a mobile app on real hardware meant keeping a drawer of phones, or a separate device farm outside the developer's workflow. With real device support, Kane CLI removes that dependency again now by giving terminal-first access to the real device cloud. Kane CLI on real devices gives teams: Real Android and iOS devices from any terminal. Kane CLI opens a real device in the TestMu AI cloud and taps through the app from natural language prompts. Developers pick a model and OS version, or let the cloud assign any available device. A live view of the device. The real device's screen opens in its own window on the developer's lapto

Horizon3 and Pax8 Expand Partnership to Bring Autonomous Security Testing to MSPs Across Europe16.10.2026 09:03:00 EEST | Press release
Horizon3, the AI-Native Proactive Security Company, today announced the expansion of its Pax8 partnership across Europe, bringing the NodeZero® Proactive Security Platform to the region’s managed service providers (MSPs) through the Pax8 Marketplace. The expansion enables partners to build recurring security services that help small and midsized businesses understand how attackers could compromise their environments, prioritize corrective actions, and verify remediation. Building on the companies’ North American marketplace launch, the European expansion makes autonomous offensive security testing accessible to more MSPs and the businesses they protect.
