Gel card technology

Keep testing organized and efficient for every type of lab

DG Gel gives you a seamless transition to greater complexity and a higher volume of testing. With an original 8-well format, DG Gel cards give you the flexibility to test any number of ABO & Rh combinations on a single card, including always the control well together with RhD determination. Whether you test manually, semi-automated, or fully automated, DG Gel cards keep your test flow organized and efficient.

Molecular technology

Go beyond serological testing for your most complex cases

Enhance your ability to confirm the Rh(D) negative donors, rationalize the use of RhIG injections for pregnant women as well as the use of Rh(D) neg blood units for patients with BLOODchip ID RHD XT. Predict the RhD phenotype that cannot be resolved by serology and benefit from knowing the patient's or donor's genotype with a user-friendly streamlined workflow ready in just 4 hours and that only requires 30 minutes of hands-on time.
