Invivoscribe Announces the PrepQuant™ System, an Integrated Sample Preparation Platform that Standardizes and Streamlines Pre-Analytical Workflows

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Invivoscribe®, a global leader in precision diagnostics and measurable residual disease (MRD) testing, today announced the launch of the PrepQuant™ System, a novel sample preparation platform that integrates nucleic acid extraction, concentration, and quantification with a single automated instrument. This innovative system is designed to standardize sample preparation and simplify pre-analytical workflows to reduce costs and eliminate a primary source of inconsistency in molecular testing.

Developed in collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech Corporation, the PrepQuant System combines Invivoscribe’s expertise in developing standardized molecular assays, providing global clinical testing services, along with Hitachi High-Tech’s proven technological and manufacturing capabilities. Hitachi High-Tech has an extensive global installed base of life science and clinical diagnostic instruments.

The PrepQuant System is assay agnostic, generating highly concentrated genomic DNA and cell free DNA (cfDNA) yields for next-generation sequencing (NGS), qPCR, and digital PCR (dPCR) assays. By consolidating multiple steps in a single platform, the system greatly reduces laboratory operating costs, sample variability, and lab bench space, while optimizing tests results.

“The PrepQuant System represents a significant advancement in our commitment to standardize the entire testing process, starting with the pre-analytical workflow,” said Jeff Miller, CEO and CSO of Invivoscribe. “By integrating extraction, concentration, and quantification in one platform, we reduce variability to help ensure generation of consistent, high-quality test results. This is particularly important in the era of precision medicine, where reliability of MRD and liquid biopsy results depend markedly on the quality and consistency of the starting material.”

“The concept for the PrepQuant System was driven directly by insights from LabPMM, our global network of testing laboratories,” said Jordan Thornes, VP of Global Clinical Laboratory Operations. “Our teams recognized the limitations of currently available automated instruments, particularly the labor-intensive nature and increased risk of errors associated with running three separate protocols across multiple instruments. This all-in-one system was designed to reduce costs, while addressing those challenges and significantly improving operational efficiency.”

The PrepQuant System is designed and validated for use with blood, plasma, and bone marrow specimens, with ongoing development for additional specimen types.

Invivoscribe will officially unveil the PrepQuant System at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, at booth #3459 from April 19–22.

The company is currently issuing quotes and anticipates first commercial shipments in North America in August 2026, with European availability planned for January 2027. Invivoscribe anticipates new kit releases by the end of 2026, further expanding the system’s menu and providing additional versatility across the spectrum of molecular testing.

Zaheer Ebtikar Joins Plasma as Chief Strategy Officer, Strengthening Leadership Ahead of Plasma One Launch

  LONDON - Tuesday, 14. April 2026 AETOSWire 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Plasma, the company behind the first stablecoin-native neobank and the infrastructure powering it, has announced the appointment of Zaheer Ebtikar as Chief Strategy Officer. The appointment reinforces Plasma's commitment to making stablecoins practical for everyday use worldwide, beginning with the launch of its stablecoin-native neobank, Plasma One.

Ebtikar brings more than eight years at the centre of crypto markets, combining macroeconomic insight with deep relationships across the institutional, trading, and infrastructure layers of the ecosystem. As Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Split Capital, he built one of crypto's most prominent hedge funds. He has also held senior roles at LedgerPrime, Deribit, and Immutable Capital.

The global stablecoin supply has nearly doubled in the past year. Institutions worldwide are racing to define their strategies, yet no product has bridged the gap between stablecoin infrastructure and a full consumer banking experience. Plasma One is designed to be exactly that: the first stablecoin-native neobank, turning stablecoins into a practical tool for everyday spending, saving, and business use across markets.

To support that ambition, Plasma is building a vertically integrated licensing and technology stack, acquiring regulatory licenses in key markets and bringing critical infrastructure in-house. This own-the-stack approach is designed to deliver lower costs, greater reliability, and a defensible long-term position in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Chief Strategy Officer, Zaheer Ebtikar, said: "I remember visiting the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and seeing the sheer volume of over-the-counter transactions between cash, lira and USD₮. That moment made clear to me that stablecoins aren't a niche, they're becoming the backbone of how people actually move money. What drew me to Plasma is that they're not just building another chain. They're building the first product that puts a stablecoin-powered banking service in anyone's hands, and assembling the licensing infrastructure to make it work at scale."

CEO, Paul Faecks, said: "Zaheer brings a rare combination of deep market intuition, institutional credibility, and genuine conviction in what we're building. As we move from mainnet to product launch, his strategic leadership will be critical in driving Plasma One into the hands of users worldwide."

About Plasma

Plasma builds financial products for consumers and businesses using stablecoins instead of traditional banking rails. Plasma One, its first product, lets users send, spend, save, and earn with stablecoins. Everything runs on Plasma's own blockchain, built from the ground up for speed, reliability, and scale.

Scoot, Qatar, and Ryanair Top Cirium Global Airline Emissions Rankings in 2025

 LONDON - Wednesday, 15. April 2026 AETOSWire 

Scoot, the Singapore-based low-cost carrier, claimed the top spot in Cirium’s 2025 EmeraldSky Annual Review.

Qatar Airways, Ryanair, and Turkish Airlines recognized as most efficient global airlines when ranked by seat capacity.

Regional leaders include Frontier (Intra-North America), Wizz Air (Europe), Virgin Atlantic (Transatlantic), Air Canada (Transpacific), JetSmart (Latin America), and Vietjet (Asia).

 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Singapore-based Scoot has been named the world’s most emissions-efficient airline in Cirium’s 2025 EmeraldSky Annual Review, taking the top position from last year’s leader, Wizz Air. Qatar Airways, Ryanair, and Turkish Airlines were each recognized as the top three most efficient global airlines, ranked by available seat kilometres (ASK).

Cirium’s industry leading ranking is based on CO₂ per available ASK across the world’s 100 largest airlines. The methodology is independently assured by PwC to ISAE 3000. It groups airlines into Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers based on global performance, which covers the top 15 airlines as well as key regional and route performers.

“Airline emissions performance comes down to decisions airlines can control — fleet choices, seat configuration and how aircraft are deployed on routes,” said Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium. “The airlines at the top of these rankings have got those fundamentals right, and it shows. Better emissions efficiency and lower fuel bills go hand in hand.”

Scoot is the first Southeast Asian carrier to lead in global airline emissions efficiency rankings. Its average seat density of 242 seats per aircraft, operating on longer average sectors, placed it in the lead position this year. The results reinforce a consistent pattern across the industry. Airlines operating younger fleets with higher seat density continue to outperform their peers on emissions efficiency, with low-cost carriers dominating the top of the rankings. Wizz Air placed second (after placing first in 2024), followed by TUI Airways, Air Europa and Frontier Airlines, with all five carriers ranking in the top five globally and earning Gold status. Each has young fleets of aircraft compared to their peers.

*Gold: Ranks 1-5 | Silver: Ranks 6-10 | Bronze: Ranks 11-15. For the full list of 20 airlines, please reference the report.

Wizz Air remains among the strongest performers with a fleet averaging under five years, similar to other performers such as Frontier Airlines and IndiGo.

Long-haul operators, in contrast, are closing the gap primarily through fleet renewal, by removing from service older, less-fuel-efficient aircraft. Airlines such as Virgin Atlantic demonstrate that newer widebody aircraft and higher-capacity configurations can deliver competitive emissions performance even on long-distance routes.

Airlines Closing the Gap: Capacity Growth Without Emissions Growth

Cirium’s 2025 review shows whether airlines are growing capacity faster than emissions. The table below ranks individual routes by the largest year-on-year reductions in CO2 per ASK and identifies the specific aircraft transition that drove each result. To qualify, a route must have operated at least 300 round trips in the year.

The metric highlights carriers making measurable progress, not just those already operating efficient fleets. Korean Air recorded the largest long-haul route improvements globally, driven by the transition to next-generation aircraft on key transpacific routes.

"The route-level data tells a clear story," said Bowen. "When airlines swap older widebodies for next-generation aircraft, emissions per seat kilometre can fall by as much as 27 percent on that route within a year. This isn't theoretical — we're measuring it on real routes with real operational data."

About the EmeraldSky emissions report

Now in its second year, Cirium’s EmeraldSky Annual Review evaluates airline emissions intensity using CO₂ per available seat kilometre (ASK), based on analysis of the world’s 100 largest scheduled passenger airlines.

The 2025 edition also tracks year-on-year progress, measuring whether airlines are increasing capacity faster than emissions. The methodology uses flight-level operational data and is independently assured under ISAE 3000 by PwC. EmeraldSky is also accredited by the Rocky Mountain Institute as a qualified flight emissions data provider under the Pegasus Guidelines, the first climate-aligned finance framework for aviation.

AMGTA Releases Independent Report on Additive Manufacturing's Role in Resource-Efficient Manufacturing Systems

 Six years of ecosystem observation. A new lens for understanding and communicating additive manufacturing's real value.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Following its 2026 Annual Member Summit, AMGTA today released Additive Manufacturing in Resource-Efficient Manufacturing Systems, an independent report establishing how additive manufacturing should be evaluated, communicated, and deployed across part, system, and enterprise levels.

The report establishes a structural argument for how additive manufacturing should be evaluated — not at the part level alone, but across part, system, and enterprise levels where AM's most significant advantages in resource efficiency, supply chain resilience, and capital allocation actually materialize. It draws on six years of sustained observation across both sides of the AM ecosystem — technology developers and manufacturing users — producing findings that neither side could reach from its own position. It is designed for use in investor presentations, policy discussions, procurement conversations, and organizational decision-making.

The report was presented to and discussed with AMGTA's global membership at the 2026 Annual Member Summit, held April 13 in Boston, alongside the companion Strategy 2030 document.

Standard cost comparisons of additive manufacturing against conventional manufacturing capture the same direct production costs on both sides while systematically excluding costs that conventional manufacturing embeds as invisible background — tooling capital committed before demand is known, inventory carrying costs, minimum order quantity waste, and obsolescence write-offs. The result is a structural bias that makes AM appear more expensive than a complete evaluation would show.

The report identifies this as a framing and measurement problem, not a technology problem, and provides the evaluative structure organizations need to conduct complete comparisons across all three levels at which AM creates value.

As the only global, independent organization focused exclusively on the intersection of additive manufacturing and resource-efficient manufacturing systems — with no equipment to sell, no materials to promote, and no national interest to advance — AMGTA occupies a structural position no other organization holds. This report could not have been produced by a technology provider without reading as advocacy, or by a manufacturer without reading as justification. It required the vantage point of both sides simultaneously.

“The technology is proven. But the current adoption curve doesn’t reflect it—and one major reason is that the industry has been evaluating AM against a standard that was never designed to capture what AM actually changes,” said Sherri Monroe, Executive Director of AMGTA. “This report is the result of six years of watching that gap play out across industries, applications, and geographies. It is the argument the industry has needed and that only an organization with no commercial interest could make.”

“When I founded AMGTA, the goal was to create something the industry didn’t have: an independent, non-commercial voice that could make the case for AM’s value in the rooms where the real decisions get made,” said Brian Neff, Chair of the AMGTA Board of Directors. “This report is that voice. It makes the argument we’ve been building toward—complete, rigorous, and designed to hold up under scrutiny from finance, procurement, and policy. This is what six years of membership made possible.”

The report is available at www.AMGTA.org. The companion Strategy 2030 document—What We Do and Why Membership Matters—is available to AMGTA members.
