Research & Innovation
The REDDI lab is ready to go beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and tackle new and existing challenges at the local and global levels.
Research and Education in Disease Diagnosis and Intervention Laboratory
The Research and Education in Disease Diagnosis and Intervention Laboratory (REDDI Lab) is home to Clemson University’s first high-complexity Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified facility. The goal of the CLIA labs is to provide regular, rapid testing of Clemson faculty, staff, and students and collaborate with DHEC to expand and facilitate rapid testing availability for the entire Upstate community and other institutions of higher education throughout the State.
CLIA-certified Lab
The lab employs the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing technique. Using this method, samples are placed in a PCR machine, where they are heated up and cooled down multiple times. The process turns RNA into DNA and copies it repeatedly.
