Olerup SSP achieves improved low resolution typing results through minimizing ambiguities with format expansion. Olerup SSP AB has recently performed a significant format change in the low resolution typing kits. The new low resolution format configurations are a result of the evolving world of HLA and the increase in the number of detected alleles.
At the recently held ASHI meeting in New Orleans, Allenex subsidiary Olerup SSP and AbSorber hosted two lunch symposiums. Conexio presented the now extended HLA typing portfolio distributed in the US by Olerup Inc. The focus of the symposium was the recently signed global distribution agreement between Conexio and Olerup SSP. Through the agreement Olerup SSP acquired the distribution and marketing rights for the Conexio SBT Resolver™ product line which includes locus specific assays for HLA. Olerup SSP and Olerup Inc. are both part of Allenex Group.
From May 1, 2011, Olerup has the distribution and marketing rights for the CONEXIO SBT product line. Thereby Olerup will be able to further increase focus and service towards the HLA community. In addition Olerup also distributes Olerup SSP® HLA typing products within this segment.
AbSorber and Olerup SSP has signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the Brazilian market, the world's second largest transplantation market after the US. Partner in Brazil is Genese Produtos Diagnosticos Ltda in Sao Paulo.
At the recently held ASHI meeting in Hollywood, FL, a study investigating the frequency of typing ambiguities for low and high resolution SSP typings in two sets of samples was presented.The Olerup SSP® kits give excellent resolution for low and high resolution HLA typings with low ambiguity frequencies, but the kits have to be constantly and frequently up-dated for new HLA alleles in order to maintain this level of resolution.
