A biomarker test that can accomplish this would be of extreme importance in pre-clinical kidney transplantation research. ” Jim Janicki Vice President and General Manager of Life Technologies’ Transplantation Diagnostics Business “The launch of the PlexMark assay represents the continued expansion of our pre-clinical research business. We are excited about the non-invasive and cost-effective nature of PlexMark and anticipate that research clinicians will want to utilize this product to better understand immunosuppression as it relates to whole kidney function. ” Resources.
