New Automated Immunosuppressive Drug Assays Improve Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for Transplant Patients

For the first time, certain immunosuppressive drug (ISD) assays can now be performed automatically on cobas® modular platforms, allowing laboratories to consolidate testing for a wide range of transplant testing/monitoring assays onto a single platform. The new Roche automated assays for tacrolimus and cyclosporine will enhance therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of transplant recipients by providing the consistency and accuracy of an automated assay, while enhancing workflows, auditing and reporting capabilities in the laboratory.
