DG Gel cards keep phenotyping organized and efficient for every type of lab

Serologic red cell antigen investigation beyond ABO is simple with Grifols Diagnostic DG Gel column agglutination testing portfolio. DG Gel enhances your lab's phenotyping efficiency today. Loaded and ready to use with highly specific reagents DG Gel, the original 8-well format gel card give you flexibility to test Rh, Kell and extended phenotypes. Whether you test manually, semi-automated or fully automated DG Gel cards keep your test flow organized and when you are ready seamlessly transition to greater complexity and a higher-volume of testing.

DG Gel Card for Phenotyping

DG Gel Cards for this assay
