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. Our 8-well gel cards provide unmatched flexibility: use preloaded cards for Rh and Kell typing, and combine them with liquid antisera to create fully customized extended phenotyping tests. 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.
