BLOOD TYPING
Antibody Screening (FDA Approved)
Transfuse with confidence while experiencing how simple and efficient screening for unexpected antibodies can be.
Antibody Screening
Predicting if patients have antibodies that could be incompatible with donor red blood cells is easy with Grifols solutions. A variety of reliable tests with increasing complexity mean you can create testing strategies from serology all the way through to genotyping giving you control in gel, in tube and, in DNA testing.
Gel card technology
Conventional techniques
Gel card technology
0.8% rRBCs organize your screening and make testing efficient no matter the size of your lab
DG Gel 8 cards are the original 8-column agglutination technology (CAT). With DG Gel 8 you are able to screen blood quickly and safely for common and rare antibodies. DG Gel 8 cards are the solution to the flexibility you need with seamless transition for manual, semi-automated and fully automated testing.
Search-Cyte reagent red blood cells and DG Gel 8 mean your laboratory can perform routine and complex testing with complete confidence.

Search-Cyte POOL 0.8%
Search-Cyte Pool 0.8% Reagent Red Blood Cells are group O, R1R1 and R2R2 pooled suspensions with homozygous expression of major blood group antigens. Search-Cyte reagent red blood cells and DG Gel 8 cards allow you to screen blood quickly and safely in a single microwell.
213656
Search-Cyte Plus 0.8%
Transfuse with confidence with a two O group cells that offers homozygous expression of major blood group antigens. Search-Cyte Plus and DG Gel 8 Anti-IgG give you rapid and sensitive screening in just two microwells.
213655
Search-Cyte TCS 0.8%
Handle the testing you have with a configuration that simplifies your testing. Search-Cyte TCS maximizes antibody screening by giving you homozygous expression of major blood group antigens on three group O red blood cell suspensions.
Conventional techniques
Conventional antisera that is a proven and reliable solution for every type of lab
Reagent Red Blood Cells in 3% configuration, and antisera that are a proven and reliable solution for every type of lab
Whether you are utilizing conventional tube reagents for most of your testing or for resolving problematic cases, it is important to have a wide range of reagent red blood cells and antisera to meet your needs.
