Solutions for Chimerism Monitoring – Comparison and what to choose

Monitoring changes in chimerism percentage over time is essential for early detection of possible relapse after transplantation. Several methods have been established in diagnostic laboratories including Short Tandem Repeat (STR)- or Quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based techniques. Recently, we have developed a new way to monitor chimerism by using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). In this webinar, we will present two GenDx solutions for Chimerism Monitoring: Our qPCR-based KMRtype®/KMRtrack® method, as well as our newly launched NGS-based NGStrack® method. Furthermore, we will compare important aspects for each method such as experimental setup, results quality, and available resources, to make it easier to choose the technique that is most suitable to your laboratory routine.
