ChimeRMarker® Automated Chimerism Analysis Software
ChimeRMarker® automated chimerism analysis software integrates speed and accuracy with a biologist-friendly interface. The software can be used to monitor chimerism level in both an allogeneic stem cells transplant (SCT) or a hematopoietic stem cells transplant (HSCT), bone marrow transplant (BMT, post bone marrow engraftment), and cord and peripheral blood stem cells transplant (PBSCT) samples.
Complete Chimerism Detection, Long-term Monitoring, and Quantification in one program!
Increase analysis capacity 20-30% annually (Read the Association of Molecular Pathology presentation)
ChimeRMarker software provides:
- Accurate, rapid genotyping and chimerism analysis with documented time savings of up to 85%
- Automatically identifies donor and recipient peaks in post-BMT samples
- Calculates percent chimerism and quality metrics for single donor or double donor cases
- Easily appends for longitudinal monitoring post-BMT
- Multi-lineage capabilities for chimerism analysis of T-cells, B-cells, and other cell type populations
ChimeRMarker software includes functions for comparison of samples at different time points to conduct longitudinal studies for monitoring each individual and a comprehensive chimerism analysis report. The chimerism analysis performs repetitive calculations (using published methods. Dr. Don Kristt).
ChimeRMarker software also has a linked maternal cell contamination (MCC) application. ChimeRMarker software is compatible with ABI®PRISM, Applied Biosystems® SeqStudio, Hiachi High-Tech Compact CE Sequencer DS3000, Promega Spectrum Compact CE Systems and Syntol Nanophore® 05 genetic analyzers, and custom primers or commercially available human identification chemistries for STR genotyping (including, but not limited to Identifiler®, GlobalFiler™ 6-Dye™, PowerPlex®16, PowerPlex®ESI, GenePrint® 24, PowerPlex®Fusion 5 and 6 Dye, Investigator®24Plex). Chimerism analysis is completely integrated to the main analysis screen, removing the error-prone step of data transfer from genotyping software to calculation spread sheets.
