BLOOD TYPING
Antibody Identification (CE Approved)
Obtain clear, specific antibody breakdowns for your samples efficiently and confidently.
Antibody Identification
If unexpected antibodies are detected in a sample, rapid and safe identification is essential for your lab.
When Antibody identification is needed as part of your routine pretransfusion testing Grifols has everything you need.
Gel card technology
Conventional techniques
Gel card technology
DG Gel cards organize your antibody investigation and make testing efficient no matter the size of your lab
DG Gel cards are the original 8-column agglutination technology (CAT). DG Gel cards paired with high-quality reagents facilitate efficient antibody identification in any workflow. Screen blood quickly and safely for antibodies, common and rare and in all testing configurations. DG Gel cards and wide selection of rRBC deliver efficient results for every lab and can grow as your volume increases.
