Antibody Screening (FDA)

Antibody Screening

Predicting if patients have antibodies that could be incompatible with donor red blood cells is easy with Grifols solutions. A variety of reliable tests with increasing complexity mean you can create testing strategies from serology all the way through to genotyping giving you control in gel, in tube and, in DNA testing.
