Translational Trials Development and Support Laboratory
Faculty Director
Elke Grassman, Ph.D.
Purpose
Clinical research trial monitoring may require non-standard assays done in compliance with Good Clinical Practices. Many of these assays may currently be available only at the research level, which fails to meet standard operating procedure (SOP) and control requirements. The TTDSL was created to provide tailored assays at a level of appropriate compliance to support the development and conduct of clinical trials.
Commonly required assays currently available on a routine basis include
- Fanconi Anemia Complementation
- Endotoxin
- Colony forming units with or without drug resistance
- Mycoplasma
- Quantitative PCR
- Insertion site analysis (Linear amplification mediated PCR and Linear mediated PCR)
- Research level testing for bacterial and fungal contaminants
- Vector titration
- RCR/RCL testing
Additional assays may be developed to provide specific needs.
Location
Division of Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology -11th floor Building S, Suite 400.
Fee Structure
Fees have been designed to provide recovery of costs and are tailored to specific assay modifications as necessary. Fees for standard assays are listed on the TTDSL menu of services. Contact Elke Grassman, 513-636-0958 for assay modification/development and associated costs.
