Drug Interference Transfusion Testing

Drug interference transfusion testing

Monoclobal antibody therapies that interfere with IH testing makes complex testing hard. Create a clearer clinical picture with cutting-edge technology that unlocks monoclonal antibody therapy interference. For oncology patients with hematologic malignancies low red blood cell counts during therapy mean multiple transfusions become their norm.

Grifols sCD38

Managing blood delivery to oncology patients on monoclonal antibody therapies can be challenging for your lab.  You can create a clearer clinical picture without lengthy procedures using Grifols soluble recombinant protein technology that blocks therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that cause pan-agglutination.

Shipping the samples to another laboratory takes up to 24 hours to get a result and may cause delays to transfusion, what we like about using sCD38 is the speed of analysis, and the ease of use.
