Allenex to present complete transplantation product line at this year’s ASHI meeting
Allenex will next week at The American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) meeting present the complete product line for the first time as a group under the new organization and new company name. The ASHI meeting, this year held in New Orleans, is the leading meeting for professionals in transplantation laboratories.
“We have worked hard during the last couple of years in building the internal organization, acquiring sales and distributions organizations, entering new markets and launching new products. At ASHI this year we will not only present Olerup SSP™ typing kits for HLA and our cross match test XM-ONE®,but also Conexio’s SBT HLA typing kits. These are very exciting times for us and we hope to generate continued interest from our current customers and renewed interest from the rest of the HLA community”, comments Allenex CEO Anders Karlsson.
Allenex is a global transplantation company focusing on products and services for better matching and testing before both organ and blood stem cells transplantation. The Allenex product portfolio includes both proprietary products as well as products that are sold and distributed on behalf of others. Allenex products can be divided into two segments: products for tissue typing and products for antibody detection.
“We have seen strong growth in the U.S market for Allenex’s Olerup SSP HLA typing kits during 2011, which is very satisfying. The HLA community has expressed significant interest in our SBT technology, which will be a great complement to our exciting products. The entire U.S. organization is looking forward to this meeting, and we are confident it will generate increased interest for Allenex as a transplantation company,” comments Michael F. Petruny, Vice President/General Manager Olerup Inc.
