Gel card technology

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

DG Gel cards organize your testing on a single card or in a single microwell. Supporting both major and minor crossmatching, the 8-column DG Gel card system make it easy to keep tests organized and deliver efficient, reliable results.

Increase the efficiency of your lab’s crossmatching whether you test gel manually, or with semi- or full automation.
