  • NGS devices get US-FDA approval


  • #2
    Caveat is that it can only handle up to V2 chemistry.

      Not surprising. There will likely be no "user serviceable parts" in MiSeqDX. Approval is for specific version of MCS/chemistry/analysis software.

      This application may need a new purchase i.e. an existing MiSeq probably can't be upgraded to a MiSeqDX.

      Looks like the pages for Molecular Diagnostics are already up: http://www.illumina.com/clinical/diagnostics.ilmn

        In fact, the instrument would be a "downgrade" compared to what is out now from what I understand...the requirement of the FDA approval process that everything must be locked down prior to submission.

        But, while this does open the door to FDA-approved reagents for NGS, there could be ramifications for current LDTs using sequencing given the CLIA vs. FDA ambiguity.

          I presume if you want to make a product out of this MiSeqDX, your interpretation software should also need FDA approval, right?

          Are there any incentive for Foundation Medicine or OncoType DX to create an FDA-approved version of their test? It seems to me they can just keep marketing them as LDTs forever?

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
