Clinical Studies

Monitoring Renal Transplant Rejection with Cell Free DNA Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to develop a digital droplet PCR-based method to quantitate ccfDNA., and to establish ranges of donor ccfDNA that correspond to rejection status.

Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Human Saliva (COVID Saliva) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to collect saliva specimens from individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in respiratory tract specimens to validate this specimen type for the SARS-Co-V-2 RNA Detection and Quantification digital droplet PCR-based assay, and to evaluate the use of SARS-CoV-2 viral load measured in saliva for correlation with levels in other specimen types, disease course, and/or response to therapy.
