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.
