BRISBANE, Calif., May 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareDx, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNA), a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic solutions for transplant patients, will highlight CareDx’s Olerup pre-transplant diagnostics at the 31st European Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility Conference from May 30 – June 2, 2017 in Mannheim/Heidelberg, Germany.
News for Olerup product portfolio at the meeting includes:
- Olerup SSP Foundational human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing. Continued leader in the field with timely updates of new HLA alleles.
- Olerup QTYPE Speed and precision in HLA typing on both Roche and Applied Biosystems (ABI) instruments. Rapid typing is vital for deceased donor transplants.
- Olerup SBT Accurate sequence based typing including reagents for sequencing, Heterozygous Ambiguity Resolution Primers (HARPS), and software (Assign SBT). Sequencing based technology (SBT) sets the benchmark for high-resolution HLA typing.
CareDx also hosts a symposium on Wednesday, May 31, 12:00–1:00 titled “Ensuring transplant success through improvements in diagnostics” with Anna Hedlund, Head of Research and Development, providing key updates to Olerup products and John J.

“We look forward to communicating the exciting progress on new products for the HLA community at EFI this year,” said Anders Karlsson, Chief International Business Officer. “Even though short term outcomes for transplant patients have improved significantly, long term outcomes remain unchanged. We, at CareDx, would like to contribute to leveraging information and data analytics in the pre-transplant setting to improve post-transplant patient management.”
