11.7.2022 08:02:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, today announced the launch of the Applied Biosystems TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select Panel; a CE-IVD-marked molecular assay panel for detection of five common viruses, including those that cause the common cold, bronchiolitis, croup, influenza-like illnesses, and pneumonia.
The molecular assay panel provides results in approximately three hours, testing for Adenovirus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, and Parainfluenza virus, using highly accurate PCR technology. RNase P and positive controls are included to offer sample-to-result reliability. The solution is scalable, which allows laboratories to run from one to 94 samples simultaneously depending on the needs of the population they’re servicing and can help to identify co-infections.
“As the world continues to grapple with living alongside COVID-19, it is important to know that there are a myriad of other respiratory viruses that can also cause serious illness,” said Dr. Manoj Gandhi, senior medical director of Genetic Testing Solutions at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Offering information on these other common respiratory viruses in a single test empowers labs to detect them quickly and efficiently so that the right treatment approach can be selected, which can help save patient’s lives.”
The ongoing pandemic has stressed the importance of making effective diagnostics accessible, and by using existing PCR infrastructure, implemented to manage COVID-19, labs can expand disease state testing without increasing costs. This new panel uses the same workflow as the TaqPath COVID-19, Flu A/B, RSV combo kit when using the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 PCR system. Allowing laboratories to test for eight common respiratory viruses with one patient sample. Adding the panel can help enable labs to add to their molecular testing menu for viral respiratory infections with ease.

The TaqPath Respiratory Viral Select Panel is for For In Vitro Diagnostic Use and is only available in select EMEA countries.

HJS Foundation Releases JEP Protocol & HJS Framework: The "Black Box" for AI, Enabling Verifiable Human Oversight24.3.2026 04:36:00 CET | Press release
HJS Foundation (Human Judgment Systems Foundation) today released two complementary solutions: the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and the Human Judgment Structure (HJS) framework. As a minimalist open standard, JEP generates tamper-proof records of AI decision accountability, just like an aircraft black box; HJS embeds human judgment logic into AI operation processes — together, they transform "human oversight" from a regulatory requirement into a verifiable technical fact, providing an optional technical solution for AI accountability. How to prove that AI decisions (such as loan approvals, medical diagnoses, border screenings, etc.) have undergone human review? JEP generates immutable audit trails of human intervention through four cryptographic primitives — Judge, Verify, Delegate, Terminate; HJS builds a controllable and accountable system to prevent risks such as AI drift and ensure that human judgment guides AI operations. Current systems rely on alterable post-hoc documentation,
