While the 2020 Slingshot featured 70% new vehicle content, the brand’s new AutoDrive transmission proved to be a true game changer. Slingshot nearly doubled its business during peak seasonality from May through September and saw 80% of its dealers grow or remain flat in year-over-year sales comparisons. In addition, of those who purchased, over 80% were new customers to Polaris.

“In January, we promised our new 2020 Slingshot would be a game changer for consumers and dealers,” said Chris Sergeant, Polaris Slingshot Vice President. “Based on the tremendous success we have seen this year, there is no question we delivered on that promise. We elevated the experience in every meaningful way and created a more accessible offering for people to enjoy the next-level driving experience only a Slingshot can deliver.”

Focusing on the drive, style, and sound, Slingshot’s 2021 lineup is headlined by an upgraded AutoDrive transmission, now with paddle shifters, a new Rockford Fosgate® audio system, Apple CarPlay® integration, new trim levels, and Slingshot’s largest offering of accessory upgrades ever offered.

“Listening to our owners, we left no stone unturned to fully refine, update and enhance our product lineup for 2021. New features like Apple CarPlay® and paddle shifters for AutoDrive were among the top requests,” said Sergeant. “We also took cues from our owners to expand our accessories for 2021, and now have our largest offering ever – providing owners with countless ways to accessorize and personalize their Slingshot with parts that will take their ride to a whole new level.”

THE DRIVE

With no doors, no roof and a ground clearance of merely five inches, there’s nothing that drives quite like a Slingshot. The introduction of the AutoDrive transmission opened the door for more people to get in, stand out, and elevate their everyday driving experience. Now, for 2021, Slingshot has refined a one-of-a-kind driving experience to ensure the daily commute, a trip to the grocery store, or weekend getaway will deliver an unmatched adventure and an attention-grabbing experience.

AutoDrive

A complete retune of the AutoDrive transmission noticeably improves shifting at low and high speeds in both drive modes. The new 2021 transmission calibration provides smoother, faster, and more consistent shifts, allowing drivers to feel even more confident and connected to the drive every time they get behind the wheel. The 2021 AutoDrive calibration is available and compatible for 2020 Slingshot models with AutoDrive.

Paddle Shifters

Nothing connects the driver with the vehicle more than the ability to shift gears. With Slingshot’s all-new paddle shifters, drivers with an AutoDrive transmission can take control of their drive and shift gears on demand. Designed from high quality composite material to deliver great feedback while driving, the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters come standard on 2021 R models with AutoDrive and are available as an upgrade for all 2020 and 2021 models with AutoDrive.

Hill Hold

An upgraded feature standard for all AutoDrive and manual 2021 models, vehicle hill hold dramatically improves slow speed drivability and increases driver confidence on any hill. 2020 Slingshot owners can update their ride and fully take advantage of the new vehicle hill hold feature.

Accessories

Designed to take the unique driving experience to an entirely new level, Slingshot has assembled two driving-inspired accessory collections: The Excursion Series and The Drive Series.

Excursion Series: Upgrading comfort and adding storage, the Slingshot Excursion Series has been designed for the adventurous spirit looking to explore. The series includes a new storage bag collection, tall wind deflector, Slingshade, and heated and cooled seats.

Additionally, S and SL drivers can add nearly 15% more power to their ride with the stage 1 tune.

About ezeep
:

The future of printing is ezeep. With ezeep, printing is dramatically simplified, enabling any device to print to any printer – whether with the ezeep printer driver from PC or Mac, via app for smartphones and tablets or even by web-based drag & drop for the occasional user.

Consumers print unlimited and – naturally – free-of-charge to their own printers and, depending on the provider, free or at a cost to external printers. This makes printing as easy as making a phone call, eliminating the need for any user support. Companies can lower the infrastructure demands on their printer setups in branch offices worldwide, thanks to ezeep, drastically simplifying their administration. With this, the total costs for deploying printers is significantly reduced.

Coworking spaces, universities, exhibition grounds, train stations, airports and kiosks can not only make their printers publicly available with just a single click, but also charge for printing with ease. The same applies to private users or cafés which want to share their printers with others. Printers are thereby transformed into sources of income, not costs. Open interfaces enable integrations with existing solutions, such as for user and resource management, cost control or compliance monitoring for maximum cost savings via automation. A constantly growing ecosystem of standard integrations by development partners makes these benefits also available to non-technical users.

By reducing costs and removing all technical requirements, whilst providing the ability to use third-party printers at any time, ezeep ensures that in the future people will be able to print from almost every location quickly and easily, for whatever reason they might have. ezeep is committed to minimizing the CO2 footprint of printing and ensuring that printed paper can be a meaningful, productive and responsible alternative to screen-based information consumption.

National Study Confirms Effectiveness of New Tools for Standardizing Estrogen Receptor Testing

Results to be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

BOSTON, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Boston Cell Standards, announced today that it will present the results of a Canadian national study that tested the first system of reference materials for standardization of estrogen receptor (ER) testing for breast cancer. The study is being presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, which takes place virtually December 8 – 11.

As many previously published studies have demonstrated, high variability exists in the performance of ER testing when comparing different laboratories. For the first time, however, this new study also included immunohistochemistry (IHC) calibrators that defined a clear unit of measure—molecules of ER per cell. Using these first units of measure, traceable to a NIST standard, analytical sensitivities of individual ER assays were quantified. These new testing tools clearly demonstrated a defined analytic sensitivity threshold at which ER testing becomes suboptimal, missing most weakly positive cases. Although all the clinical ramifications of this threshold cannot be known without further studies, the new measurement tool provides critical information that can be used to track variability among laboratories, reagent lots, and even day-to-day runs, potentially lowering error rates in IHC laboratories. Termed “IHCalibrators,” these new tools were developed by Boston Cell Standards in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). They are the first of their kind in the immunohistochemistry (IHC) industry.

The study was performed by the Canadian Immunohistochemistry Quality Control (CIQC) program. CIQC offered Canadian ER testing laboratories the opportunity to test 80 different breast cancer patient samples, as a check to verify that they obtain the correct answers. Also included were the new reference materials, capable of measuring the laboratory’s analytical sensitivity of their ER test. The performance of the new tool was correlated with the laboratory’s ability to accurately distinguish positive and negative patient samples.  

“The new tool showed a highly significant positive correlation between measured analytical sensitivity of the laboratories’ ER IHC tests with their ability to identify tumors that express low levels of estrogen receptor,” said Dr. Emina Torlakovic, Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK, who directed the study. “While breast cancer patients with ER-high positive tumors would receive the correct test result and treatment irrespective of the measured analytical sensitivity, breast cancer patients with ER-low positive tumors had widely varying test results that depended on the laboratory’s test sensitivity.” Dr. Torlakovic continued. “The study did not directly examine the tests and treatments in the 80 different cases. However, the varying survey results would be expected to lead to different treatment decisions, depending on the laboratory performing the test.”

Dr. Steven Bogen, President and CEO of Boston Cell Standards, which developed the analytical tools said, “Traceability of measurement to a higher order reference is the standard of practice in all other types of clinical laboratory testing but has never before been feasible for immunohistochemistry testing. We expect its availability will lead to significant improvements in immunohistochemistry test accuracy and reproducibility. The data presented in the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium validate the reference materials for standardizing ER testing in the diagnosis of breast cancer.”

About Boston Cell Standards

Boston Cell Standards is the first and only company to develop and manufacture standardized reference materials in the immunohistochemistry industry. Its mission is to improve patient outcomes by ensuring that immunohistochemistry test results are accurate and reproducible regardless of where or when tests are performed. Laboratory reference materials are essential for that purpose. We bring together outstanding physicians, scientists, and staff in a creative and supportive environment with the goal of spurring groundbreaking advances that can be applied to the laboratory setting.

This initial run provides both Phase Tea and Alkame with the completion of 3 delicious flavors, including Mint Tea, Green Tea, and Peach Tea. All 3 of the beverages contain 15mg of CBD per bottle, and a host of all-natural and organic ingredients in a 16oz glass bottle, with more products to be developed soon.

“We are extremely happy in the successes we are seeing after working with the Alkame Team to develop our products,” says Phase Tea’s CEO, Nicholas Gaeta. “We have seen great successes with the flavor profiles and a great response on the packaging configurations developed by the team, and are excited to be launching our products together in the coming weeks.”
